The familiarity lulls him into solace and soothes the creature that lurks beneath his skin. A steady breeze, cool as it rushes from the ocean into his face, settles his aching heart and offers a brief distraction from the stressors outside of Nerine. There is so much to reconcile outside of these walls, but he refrains for now and instead bathes himself in some of his fondest memories.
Most of his childhood friends moved along and began lives elsewhere, and yet Castile continues finding himself lured back to these rocky cliffs. This land has always spoken to him in a way no other place can. When he peers off the edge of the ridge, he imagines the mouth of the caves with mother and father smiling, watching him with Isobell. Life had been carefree then, long before he had been faced with his monsters. Turbulence followed, but that was after he left his home and ventured to Hyaline and Loess.
He’s returned now, to Nerine, and all seems right again in the world again.
With a deep breath, Castile turns away from the cliff and the ocean, directing his focus on one of the seemingly few males roaming Nerine’s expansive landscape. ”Hello,” he says as the distance between them is closed off. He doesn’t hesitate, unafraid of strangers. For the first time in years, he is in his element. ”I’m Castile.”
