In contrast to the Dead Coast, Sa'fir Coast is jokingly referred to as the world's largest pepper deposit because of its black sand beaches. They attract tourists, who can enjoy the tropical landscape of Barakka without facing its harsh environments. (+2 Endurance)

Vivi | Addie | Sonja


Vivi dug her feet into the warm sand, the large granules slipping between her toes. It almost tickled. She hadn't been to the beach since she was a child, and she sort of owed it to Addie and Sonja. They'd been landlocked since they were born, and had never even seen the ocean.

It was a cloudy day, but she still lathered herself and the kids in sunscreen. Against the black sand, she looked white as a ghost. Addie had tanned up in the past few years, an ability he earned from his late father. Sonja, however, was like her mother; if she spent more than five minutes unprotected in the sun, she would be a tomato.

They hadn't been on a family trip in years, and it was a bit refreshing. It was nice to get out of their little town once in a while.

The golden lucain ran on ahead of the young woman and slightly older man, panting and whining, his body trembling when he paused to watch them, watching that they were still following then bounding ahead again. His ears flicked as he looked ahead, finding more people that he was used to, being Addie, Vivi and Sonja, the gain bounded ahead, his feet kicking up black sand as his body flexed, the leather collar plain around his golden neck. He threw himself on the ground in front of them, his lips pulled back into a large smile, his tails beating the floor manically. He then leaped to his feet when the young woman walking towards them made a very distinctive whistle, a low note that pitched to a high note quickly, then dropped sharply to the beginning note. She grinned, hunkering down and opening her arms to the reincarnated dog, who veered away from her at the split second. She then stood, running her hand down his back as he ran from her, circling around and running past her again, directly towards Addie.

Shy laughed lightly, watching Monty and his antics. She was dressed in rather simple clothing, apart from her ever-present band t-shirts. Wearing a button-up short sleeved flannel shirt, that she let hang open, a pear of jeans, and currently barefoot, with her shoes having their laces tied together and hung over one shoulder, she smiled gently. "He's a good dog." Blaidd said simply, wearing his black suit as always, his sunglasses in his breast pocket. "I know, that's why I love him." She grinned wider, beginning to walk slightly faster, humming a gentle tone to herself.

I want it to be you, ooh
Diving into my ocean
A brand new emotion come true, ooh
Don't let this night, don't let this night go

How long 'til you play me the song
That will make me belong to you?
One dance with my baby tonight
And we'll dance 'til the night is through

Addie grinned and scratched the gleefully wiggling 'cain under the collar, avoiding some inevitably sloppy kisses as he playfully squished his golden cheeks.

Sonja petted his back with her still-tiny fingers—she was fifteen now, but she had always retained her thin, delicate frame. Even now, she still stood just below five feet tall, her jet black hair now reaching her lower back, her trademark straight fringe framing her delicate features.

Addie, on the other hand, had finally begun to look his age. He had soft black hair on his chest and lower stomach now, and his chest and arms had filled out. He had a new collection of tattoos on both arms, the top of his hands, and even the sides of his neck. He never did grow out of his love for piercings, but he did tuck in his new septum piercing when his mum was around.

Standing against the sea breeze, her black floral sundress flapping behind her in the breeze, Viv smiled and waved at Shy and Blaidd. She pulled her bare feet out of the sand and trotted up to meet them. She looked good for her age, still toned and peppy as ever, but she had begun forming crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, and the beginnings of smile lines on her cheeks. She didn't mind, though. She never was one to fret about ageing.

When she caught up to them, she stood on the tips of her toes to plant a kiss on her husband's cheek, and wrapped her arm around his waist. "Took you guys long enough to get here," she joked, flashing a grin at Shy.

Monty seemed to relish in the fuss, pressing his body into Addie's legs, his tails still wagging happily. Shy simply gave a soft smile towards Vivi before walking ahead, standing a few feet from Monty, Addie and Sonja. Monty seemed to have noticed the small creature with black hair and pink eyes and took a great interest in her, his ears perked forward as he pressed his nose into her clothing, taking hard sniffs, before having his fill and bolting back to shy, who was ever ready to receive him, wrapping her arms around his thick neck, rubbing his chest and shoulder, speaking softly in his ear.

"Sorry, Shy couldn't decide on what to wear, and then there was the whole hullaballoo with trying to get Monty on a lead." He sighed lightly, kissing his wife's cheek. "Shy's also an awful driver, so afraid of everything. Didn't help that Monty was creating in the back seat. Had to pull over every half hour so he could throw up and calm down." He sighed, shaking his head lightly. "Next time, she's sitting in the back seat with him, he never minds when she's with him." He looked over to Shy, who waved her hand towards him, so he dipped a hand into his pocket, drew out a rather brightly colored ball, tossed it over to her and she grinned her thanks. At the sight of the ball, Monty lurched into a stand, his ears perked and his body trembling as he bolted after it when it was thrown, plucking it out of mid air and loping back, dropping it into her hand. Shy then looked over to Sonja and grinned. "You wanna try throwing it for him?"

Sonja giggled as Monty sniffed her all over, scratching behind his ears before he ran back to Shy. "Sure," she replied, dusting off her short overalls and walking over. She gently took the ball and tossed it in an underhanded swing, watching the quivering 'cain in glee.

Addie sat back on the sand and looked on, his worn dark jeans rolled up below his knees, probably getting sand in the back pockets and hems. He never understood how after all these years, he still found himself a blushing mess when Shy was around. She didn't even have to say anything or even look in his direction, and he'd already be a giddy little boy with pink cheeks and butterflies in his stomach.

"Hey," he called out to Shy, looking up at her coquettishly through his long black eyelashes, olive eyes bright even in the grey light of overcast. "I could use a little company over here." He patted the sand next to him, resisting the urge to wink.

Vivi laughed at his explanation, leaning into his chest. "Hey, I never was much of a good driver, either. Give her some credit, there's a lot of idiots on the road," she joked, elbowing him.

Monty grabbed the ball and trotted towards them, his head held high as he held the ball firmly, returning to Sonja and standing before her, the ball still in his mouth. "If you hold out your hand, he'll put it in your hand. Just make sure to tell him he's a good boy." Shy grinned, standing to go and sit by Addie, watching with a smile as the young girl and dog played together. "Worst and best thing you can ever do for a kid." She chuckled humorlessly, watching as they played.

Blaidd simply chuckled, nodding lightly. "I know, she just needs more confidence, but next time, remind me to make Monty sit in the front." He laughed gently. "Sonja seems to be getting along with Monty like a house on fire, though." He smiled, watching them all.

Sonja grinned and offered her hand, ruffling the 'cain's fur. "Good boy, Monty," she crooned. She liked Monty. He was probably one of the few people she got along with unconditionally. It helped that he didn't talk much (or rather, at all, but that suited her just fine.) He was kind and simple in the most pure way, and it calmed her down. In a mind like hers, always reeling with information and theories and equations, it was refreshing to have someone like Monty to calm her thoughts and help her appreciate the little things.

Wrapping his arm around Shy's waist, Addie chuckled. "Isn't that the truth," he commented knowingly, watching the two playing together. He turned his gaze to Shy, smiling at her lovingly and gently running his fingers up and down her back. "How've you been?"

Viv nodded, watching her daughter intently. "It's nice to see her open up a little. You know how she is. Always preferred books to friends." She smiled, "Kinda reminds me of myself when I was a kid. She's so much smarter than I was, though. I don't know where she got it from."

Monty lashed his tails hard, pressing the side of his body against Sonja, his tongue lolling from his mouth as he looked up at her, his large brown eyes full of trust. Shy smiled at this sight, calling over to Sonja. "If he sits down, put your legs over him and scratch down his sides, he'll lay down and rub his belly, if he stays standing up, just rub the side away from you and he'll keep playing." She then turned her attention back to Addie, looking him full in the face, giving him a gentle smile, a soft blush flitting across her face at the feeling of her hand. "Yeah, it's been pretty okay." She gave a larger smile as she remembered something. "Hey, look at this." She held up her hand, so the palm was facing the ground and she held it still, and there was barely any semblance of a tremble. "A lot better than before, huh?" She grinned. Monty looked up at Sonja, as Shy was more interested in talking to Addie, and he slowly sat on his haunches, watching her carefully, his tails still wagging.

Blaidd couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't start that. You're one of the smartest women I know. You've figured out a way to raise two kids, deal with my bullshit among everything else." He grinned down at his wife, pulling her closer to his side. "I love you, Vivi." He sighed lightly, smiling.
