Astrid padded along the sunny shoreline, watching as both people and waves of all sizes traveled across the beach. The silver and grey story teller had been collecting seashells and driftwood for future crafts and maybe a few fishing rods, and because of all the walking on the beach, her paws where caked in sand of various degrees of dampness. To remove the sand shoes, as well as cool off a bit, Astrid walked into and then swam under the waves of blue, enjoying the coolness the water brought. Seeing a few oddly shapedbrocks bellow, Astrid swam to the bottom of the lake, and though the place she was at wasn't exactly the deep end, she didn't have much time to snatch them up before kicking to the surface for air. Bobbing there for awhile before paddling back to where she could touch, and then walking back onto the sand, she took out her sea trinkets, one warped and shiny price of sea glass, an agate of unusual proportions and a conch that was thankfully empty of any small sea creatures. Piling them up on the drift wood, she shook herself of most of the sand on her person, than stood up, looking around for something else to do, or maybe someone to talk to, as storytelling wasn't exactly sought after here really.

Walking on all fours was not a thing Bragi wanted to be doing right now.
That wasn’t to say that he hated it; Bragi had been born a cat after all, and all cats start out walking on four paws. And there was nothing like leaping and bounding through a field, chasing bugs and reminiscing about your days as a kit; nothing like the feeling of warm earth under your paws. No, he usually didn’t mind putting his Creator given skills to use. But as an entertainer, as a cat who was constantly using his forepaws, it was a pain rid oneself of the sand that covered Hanavaria Shores.
The tiny little grains worked their way in between his toes as Bragi padded down the beach, his lip curled at the unpleasant feeling. There was nothing to be done of course, since this beach was a popular destination for the humans of Rithengar. To be sighted walking on two legs was to forfeit life, so despite his misgivings, Bragi had no choice. He continued on, ignoring the sand between his toes and eyes squinted as he searched the beach. Bragi was on a mission; he had recently acquired a lovely little glass vase, and was determined to decorate it with sea glass. He’d seen a similar piece at the market only a few days prior, and while his purse had not been heavy enough to purchase it, he could not help but think that it would look marvelous on his dining room table. So Bragi had set out to buy a cheaper, much plainer vase and do the crafting himself.
Slung over his shoulder was a rope belt, with a small cloth bag attached to the side. It was best not to wear anything fancy, lest he attract unwanted attention from any nearby humans. Simple, though a little ugly, the sack did the job nicely. Bragi had already found a few pieces of sea glass, varying in colour, but he was still a long way off from having enough to cover his vase, so he continued on, ever on the lookout.
So concentrated was he on finding more glass that Bragi didn’t notice the other cat until it was too late. He looked up a split second before the collision, and managed to sidestep, saving the other cat from any hurt or misfortune. But in doing so, Bragi tripped over his own paws and fell face first into the nearest sand dune. Glass forgotten, he struggled to pull his head out of the dune. Placing his forepaws on either side of his head, Bragi pushed against the ground. With a soft ‘Oof,’ he pulled his head free, falling onto his back and sneezing repeatedly. When he’d regained composure, Bragi blinked and tipped his head back to look up at the other cat. “Er, good afternoon.”

The near collision startled the storyteller, she dodged slightly and he did so a fraction before her, tumbling into a sand dune. By the time he had pulled out his tan, brown and white head out of the sand dune, she was beginning pick the small bits of sand glass that had been scattered when this cat's face had said hello to the grainy ground. When she replied she tried not to reference to his collision with her, not wanting to injure the stubborn and often macho sort of pride that she knew that most toms had, the kind that had them trying to make others believe that such awkard accidents could not happen to them. Of course their wasn't to much a a guarantee that he was that type."Good Afternoon to you too, are you all right? And if I may be so bold what are you collecting the sea glass for?"

Bragi sat up and rubbed the back of his head gingerly, wincing slightly. "I believe so," He meowed in reply "Though I think my pride has taken more of a beating than my head." Glancing about and determining that there were no humans in the immediate area, Bragi straightened himself up on two paws, brushing the sand from his fur. His paws grazed across his fur to the empty pouch on his hip as he worked to get the sand out out of his fur.
Empty pouch.
Bragi's paw flew to his side and grabbed the little sac. He turned it upside down and shook it but there was nothing inside. "Oh for the love of-" He cut himself off as his eyes found the form of the other cat. Cradled in her paws was a pile of sea glass, the pieces that had fallen from his pouch. "Oh thank the creator," He cried, reaching towards her. Bragi took the little gems from her paws and placed them carefully back into the sack. "Really, I cannot thank you enough. It took me ages to find these. I fear Hanavaria is running low on glass."
With a start, Bragi realized she'd asked him a question. "Apologies, it seems that in my haste to find my missing treasure, I neglected to answer you. I bought a vase a few days ago and I intend to decorate the outside with sea glass. That is," He remarked sadly, looking down at his not-so-full bag. "If I can find enough of it."

(jumping in if you don't mind)
Raac watched the two converse, for the first time it seemed with a curious silence, a couple fox lengths away. he had been on the shoreline, simply wandering about trying to have some time to wonder about this new place the gods had sent him to. he looked in to his bag... He sighed, of course the gods would punish him yet again, show him the sign. 'Let it lead me to salvation for me and my family.' He prayed to the gods, before pulling out a very small, especially in comparison to what the large tom already had, piece of glass. It was one he had found on his journey here, and found an inkling to pick up for a reason he hadn't known of. "Um, excuse me, but I think I have something your looking for as well." he meowed politely, tail twitching in nervousness, trying to prepare himself to run in case he was anything like those scary thugs that had beaten him senseless on his way here. He handed the tom the piece that he had, which had been easy to find in his large messenger bag for it was quite empty, one must be free from possession to be free from sin- so he only had what he needed to make it one more day.

ooc/ Actually, I think this is a dead thread. Adelza hasn't replied in a while (and it's always been slow) soooo, I'm gonna close the board.
Sorry! We could always start a new one with the same subject. I like the posts in this roleplay, and I wouldn't want them to go to waste.
