While uncommon for someone his age, Toivo has spent most of his life quite alone; not that it really matters to him, as he easily connects with others, and loves to do so - still, he always misses someone. Isilya is the closest thing he has to family, but she is the queen and needs to see to others' needs regularly enough that he doesn't want to insist.
Today, he has followed the waves up shore and back, running back and forth as a way to lose most of his energy - but by the end of morning, when the tide turns again, he has an idea, and crosses past the lava streams and through the wild jungle of the volcano, towards the other side.
There is a Taiga on the other side, one with actual mist in it. It's a phenomenon that's relatively strange to the young male, and yet he thinks it may be familiar. Sea mist rises occasionally in Tephra, but most of all he knows smoke and steam, and those are warm to the touch.
His ash-and-twigs (-and flowers and branches-) covered body moves like a wild ghost through the landscape, as the young man avoids the wrong cracks and stones with practise. He never really makes it to Taiga however; when he gets close to the border, he picks up a female, Taiga-ish scent.
An actual Taigan inhabitant! Much better than just the scenery!
He changes pace and direction quickly, and the perlino Azteca quickly approaches the young mare. She's about his age, he estimates, and whinnies enthusiastically to announce his presence as he zooms in on her spotted frame. She's a little dusty, the way she jumps around, but it only adds to the joy of the situation of meeting someone new. "Hello! Welcome to Tephra!"
