The sunlight crept through cracks and holes in the woven bark of the tree, dancing along the ground and onto his face. Pyros winced and opened his eyes, it was a new day. For a second he had thought maybe the night before was a horrible nightmare, quickly remember that it was all to real.
He woke up and stretched out his legs and back, testing his strength. His wounds were flesh ones, not broken bones or sprains to be found. He knew that if it hadn't been for Layla the bleeding would have likely killed him.
He had saved her, she saved him. There was a trust in that and it made Pyros sure that he wanted nothing more than for her to stay.
He picked up the shell and looked at it long and hard, and then burying in back under the mat and that far corner. He had loved her but he needed to live, to move on in life. Dwelling on her death was sure to bring nothing but pain and sorrow.
He knew that Layla must care about him and it probably hurt her to know that he still had longing feelings for his deceased love. With the shell he buried his pain, his remaining want for her to come back to him. He knew she was gone and that he needed to appreciate their time together.
She would want me to be happy...he thought with a smile.
He closed his eyes and let the sun shine on his face, it was warm and relaxing. It was as if he had started anew, and had been given another chance to live. He was not going to let Layla down, he promised himself that. She had already endured enough hurt in her life...

Layla opened her eyes slowly, cursing herself for falling asleep. Looking around she saw Pyros, up and about the sun shining on his fur, making the black gleam and the blue glow, he also seemed to shine with some sort of inner peace, she smiled.
Getting to her feet stiffly, she joined him in the sun, wafting her tail towards his she stood beside him, "good morning Pyros" she said happily, stretching in the sun, her side no longer caused her sharp pains, more of a really bad ache now.
*i dont know why i feel this way, with him i dont care ...too much... about my fur, or about looking perfect, maybe ME is good enough for him, maybe.....* she thought to herself
Heading back into the den she grabbed the packet of food, "its not much but we can hunt long the way" she mumbled, heading back out towards the entrance, and to Pyros and a new start.

"Let's move out, we've slept in and we have to get moving." he said sternly.
Pyros shook and stretched one last time before heading for the door. He wandered outside, not bothering to look back at the hut. He didn't want to leave, but he also did in some odd way. That place held so many memories and in his heart he knew that he needed to start new ones.
"Stay on your toes," he said, "And walk in front of me. I'll have your back at all times."
He nudged her forward with his nose, in the direction of the beach.
"I'll tell you which ways to go and we'll be fine. I'd just be too concerned about your well being if I couldn't keep you in my sights."

Layla grinned "to the beach!" she said cheerily, looking around she looked for the right way.
She squealed a little as Pyros ndged her forwards and mentioned about him walking behind her "uh-uh, Pyros i dont think so" she said with a giggle "me in front so you can see my butt?" raising an eyebrow in mock anger "we'll walk side by side" she said "that way we can both keep an eye out for each other" she suggested

Pyros blushed and yelled "I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!"
He stared at her in a a nervous sweat as she giggled at him.
He began walking next to her and noticed that the large satchel she carried may hurt her injured ribs.
"May I?" he said, nodding toward the bundle.

Layla stepped back "no need to shout" she joked smiling bumping him with her hip. She yawned showing her sharp little teeth, rolling her shoulders she bent to grab the packet.
Looking at Pyros surprised "no you were hurt more recently, we dont want any of those wounds poening up and start bleeding again" she said picking the pack up, gently tossing it onto her back, trying to balance it.

He let her do as she pleased, knowing that she was right. With that sort of weight his wounds would surely open up and be could potentially lose a lot of blood.
As they neared the beach Pyros could smell the saltwater and sand. A warm breeze blew in their direction, as it was the afternoon and the sun would be high in the sky.
Pyros parted a couple of very large broad leaves and revealed a sandy shore, waves crashing upon the white sand.
"This will be a lot safer than where we were. But we should go for a swim to wash away our some of our scent so it's harder to follow."

Layla could smell something strange, it kind of smelled like water but...it was different, pausing so that Pyros was ahead, smiling as she watched his retreating rear *haha, thats a nice butt swing* she joked to herself, grinning.
She closed her eyes as a delicious warm breeze swept over her face, closing her eyes she enjoyed the moment, blinking her eyes open she saw what was in front of them "This is the beach?!" she asked, looking upon the beautiful sight.

"You really haven't ever seen a beach, have you? Surprising since you're quite the wanderer. We should take a break here, we don't want to overexert ourselves."
Pyros plopped down onto the warm sand.
"It's so warm and comfortable,' he said, rolling around.
He then got up and ran into the warm water, splashing around and chasing the waves. Suddenly he stopped and yelped quite loudly.
"The salt! IT STINGS!" he shrieked, running out of the water and shaking off. The salt had gotten into his wounds and felt horrible.

Layla was more than happy to stay there for a little while, frowning as Pyros seemed to tease her about not seeing a beach "i stayed to where i knew, even though the place changed, the scenery didnt" she said flatly.
She giggled though as he rolled in the sand, thinking it as good that the mushed up herbs and scabs were covering his wounds, "this stuf gets EVERYWHERE" she said, lifting her paws up high with every step, flinging sand all over as she shook them to get rid of the sand between her toes.
Hearing his shriek she raced over eyes terribly worried "Pyros, Pyros! whats wrong? its just water?" she said panicked slightly.

He stopped and looked at her, and a sly grin spread across his face. He lifted his paw and splashed her with a large swipe of his paw.
"Sand's gone." He laughed, splashing her again but smaller this time.
"Oh don't worry about the sand, and enjoy yourself for once. Just let go and have fun. You do know what fun is, right?"

Layla frowned, "that was a mean trick" she said, scuffing sand over him, laying down on the sand, she realised it felt kind of nice in a scratchy kind of way.
She decided to just go ahead and roll herself, thinking that helped the itches, rubbing her back "mmm this feels nice" she said, sighing and looking at the sky as she itched her back on the sand.

Pyros was having fun and he knew it. He was enjoying his time at the beach with Layla, and then trotted over and layed on his back beside her, looking at the clouds.
"Look," he said, pointing to a rather large cloud, "it looks like a bear."
He began chuckling at his childishness, and then looked to her to see if she'd be laughing at him or with him.

Layla giggled, this was something she'd done alone alot when she was a small pup, away from her disgusted parents, her bullying siblings, when she felt free from anything.
"I haven't done this in a long time" she admitted, screwing her eyes up, trying to picture something in the next cloud shape"OH!" that one looks like a basket!" she said pointing to it with her paw "and the one behind it, looks kind of like a big shakaiyo"

"It does," he smiled. He layed there for quite some time, listening to the waves crashing and enjoying the soft sand and sunlight.
He then began giggling and swiftly stood up, being silly and flaring his wings. He stood over her, "Do I scare you?" he laughed.
His playfulness turned to a more serious look as he spotted heavy and ominous storm clouds on the horizon.
"Look," he said softy, moving away from where he had been standing over her.
"It looks like we're in for some nasty weather. I know we're both injured but we have to at least make some sort of small shelter."
