The journey from the field to the beach is a relatively short one, and in no time at all they are crossing over the border of Szeth’s chosen territory. He pauses for a moment at the edge of the forest, taking the opportunity to take a deep whiff of the salty sea air. He smiles, remembering. The scent brings to remember happier times, when he and his family had still lived here. Before Skullu and Hidatsa had disappeared, and his mother had gone to live in the foul Desert.
He shakes his head slightly, trying to clear his thoughts. Now is not the day to dwell too much on the past. Today is a day of new beginnings - of the start of his very own herd in the land his father had ruled so long ago. Smiling, he turns to look at Desirea. “Well, this is it! What do you think?”
His brown eyes leave her momentarily, travelling to the small meadow and sand dunes that lie between them and the sea. He’s always found it so beautiful here, with it’s luscious greenery up near the woods, and golden sands trailing all the way down to the deep blue sea. But he’s biased of course. He’s always had a strong fondness for his childhood home. He wants Desirea’s true first impression. Hopefully she will like it as much as he does.
His eyes return to her face and he smiles once again. “Would you like a bit of a tour?” There are a few tricks to living on the Beach, and he might as well introduce her now if she is willing.
