Layla started drifting off, with the good company, the warm sand, and even warmer sunshine she felt very sleepy.
Blinking as he stood over her, giggling and flaring his wings, "haha, no you dont scare me" she giggled back, "you never really did" frowning as he turned serious.
She was about to ask why he got boring all of a sudden, but he emntioned a storm "not again? it seems the creature follows storms, or preludes one?" she commented, looking around for anything to make a shelter out of.
She shivered and moved closer to Pyros as the air grew colder and ominous "i'm am afraid of being apart now"

He looked at her, she was beautiful. He had never seen such soft looking, light colored fur before. Her tribal markings were intricate and gave her character. A wind blew in off of the shore as the storm clouds rolled in closer. Lightning struck in the distance, making an uneven bright line from the sky down to the horizon. The gust of wind blew her fur as she looked at him, fear in her eyes.
"I'm going to need your help," he said.
He picked up some rather large sticks and burrowed them deep in the ground, making a sort of circle.
"We'll make sure these won't budge," he said,"and then we'll drape some large palm leaves over them and tie those tight."
He looked to her, waiting for a sign of her understanding.

Layla gulped and flinched at the streak of light that played across the sky, there was an eerie prescence in the storm and she didnt like it.
Glancing over at Pyros she saw that in the dark, and the storm, his handsome markings blazed like a beacon, his horns glowed with an almost calming blue light, and that made her feel safe somehow.
She watched as he found some large sticks and shoved them in the ground, nodding as he mentioned big palm leaves, "ok, i'll help look, you want only the biggest leaves?" she said, salt water and rain starting to mat her fur, making ehr skin tingle in an unpleasant way, she was eager to get dray and groom, both to get clean and tidy, also as a calming therapy.

"Mhmm" he nodded, "Let's go! Hurry!" He raised his voice as the rain began coming down hard and loud.
They finished up the hut and crawled inside, as Pyros watched the whitecaps crash. Thunder crashed around them, shaking the ground.
The small swiftly built shack was on the edge of the beach, so as not to get struck by lightning. Even in a rush he had thought about these things...about safety. The tide would not reach them either, and he had also made sure that the roof was sealed tight. It was perfectly dry where they sat, and even Pyros was surprised at their handy work.
The wind picked up and began to blow things around.
Pyros turned white as a ghost when he remembered what he was about to tell her...
"Layla, have you ever heard of a hurrucane?" he gulped.
Yes, indeed he had forgotten one minor/maybe not so minor thing. It was hurricane season, though just the start of it. There was no way to tell when one would blow in. Some seasons were quiet...but this was clearly not the case. The hut creaked a bit but was still very sturdy.
Pyros wrapped his tail around Layla to help keep her warm. He stared out into the horrible weather that had quickly blown in from the ocean. It was dark...and it was growing cold.

Layla finshed gathering the leaves as fast as she could, searching for the biggest leaves, dragging a pile at a time as they were getting very wet, and heavy, as well as her fur dragging her down.
Finallly they'd finished, and she stood back for a second, the wind whipping up around her, she was proud of it.
Once inside she set about grooming herself, stiking her tongue out at the salty taste.
She'd finally gottenher fur into place and at least semi dry when he mentioned hurricanes. "i think i remember something about them, but barely" she said frowning, then she shivered as the wind made creepy noises whistle around the shelter they'd made.
"Pyros?! i'm scared" she whispered, trembling as he wrapped his tail around her, only partly with the cold.

"We should be safe...but as soon as the sun rises we HAVE to head out. No playing this time." He said sternly. "This is my fault, I should know better, it's just- you make me happy."
"This may seem a bit odd or forward, but is there...y'know...another male that you have in your life?"
Pyros blushed in embarrassment at having asked her such a question, but it had been eating away at him for some time.

Laly trembled beside Pyros, she snuggled close to him, "to stay warm" she said as if that was the ONLY reason. "Why the rush once this storm is over?" she asked a little confused.
She let out a tiny gasp at his statement she couldnt speak, she just smiled and leaned her head against him. Then her jaw hit the floor (not literally) at his question "um ..no, not really, um, well there was this one male, but ......he left after" she said nuzzling him.

"It's ok, you don't have to tell me." he said, quietly.
He nuzzled her neck softly, saying "as long as it's just you and me here, I'm happy."
Her scent was sweet, even after being rained on and covered in sand.
He noticed a bit that she hadn't cleaned, and began licking her fur.

Layla smiled slightly "thank you Pyros" she said simply, returning his nuzzles with her own affections, her eyes drooping as he licked at her fur, "i've never been groomed before" she mumbled, laying her head on her paws.

The sun rose on the beach covered in debris. Their shack had survived.
"Good work Layla. Now then," he said as he sniffed the air, "The storm washed away any trail we had left. We should be good to go."
He started off toward toward the west, treading sand under his paws. They traveled for a while in silence, happy to have survived.
"We're lucky we didn't get washed away. I'm surprised I even slept through that." He chuckled.
He headed onward until he caught the smell of something different...something oddly familiar...

Layla yawned and stretched, it had been a pretty scary night, but she'd felt safe lying beside Pyros. She was tired though, as she'd left him to sleep while the noise kept her awake most of the night "You're so cute when you're asleep" she said, while they walked.
When he stopped Layla frowned, but she saw his nose twitching as he scented something "what is it?" she whispered, thinking of the creature they'd encountered, she hadn't caught the scent herself yet.

"It's nothing to worry about, it smells...well, it smells a bit like us."
He pushed his nose through the brush and leaves, following his nose.
"I am not cute by the way," he snorted, walking forward. "Come smell this scent...I really don't think it's anything to worry about. But still, tell me what you think."

Lalya put her nose to the ground, close to where Pyros was scenting, "hmmm, yes it does, why would that be?!" she mused, she gave him a slight nudge "at least its not the creature"
Moving close behind him so that she didnt have to push her way through leaves and things that would mess up her fur and tangle it, she followed, "oh handsome, you're not cute, you're .. noble, brave, glowing, adorable, silly, strong" she giggled "any of those sound better than cute?"

He sighed at her jest about him being cute before nudging forward only to see...
He was shocked. "Look Layla!" He said excitedly. "Come look at this!"
He was like a pup, jumping about in excitement, for what he had seen was more of their kind...more Shakaiyo.

Layla cringed while Pyros wasn't looking, she wasn't as keen to meet others as Pyros seemed to be.
"Pyros?" she asked "did you want to go meet them?"
While she waited for his answer she groomed herself, licking away the stains of their journey so far, pulling out the odd leaf and twig that stuck in her fur.
