Celyn slowly made his way towards the lighthouse. For the past week, the lighthouse had been his home. Not quite as comfortable as the abandoned house his mother raised her litter in, but far better than some other places he'd been in. He couldn't help but look over his shoulder, worried that any of his sisters might be after him. Even if the five sisters had gone their separate ways months ago, he still lived in fear that he might see them again. As much as he loved them, their sharp words and teasing (even if some of it had been gentle) scarred him.
The black retriever mix nudged open the door, wincing as it squeaked on rusty hinges. He hated how it squeaked, even if he couldn’t do anything about it. It seemed too loud in this quiet place, though the quietness was why he liked it. Letting out a deep sigh, he headed straight for his bed, a pile of rags and blankets tucked into one of the corners of the first floor. He flopped down on his makeshift bed, head on his paws. Home sweet home, even if it was a dump.

He noticed her looking down, and took a step or two away from her, putting more space in between them. Not that he was going to hurt her -- he was too much of a gentleman for that, even if he was a flirt most of the time -- but obviously she didn’t know that. They didn’t know the first thing about each other and it was understandable if she was nervous. Experience had taught him that you couldn’t really trust anyone, though he at least made some attempts to trust others. It was bound to be different for a female though, considering there were tons of unsavory males in the world.
“It’s alright,” he replied, for lack of better words. “I’ve been mistaking for others once or twice before.” Although those occasions hadn’t always turned out well. He supposed it was better than someone looking for him, which had happened and that hadn’t been good either.
So she was looking for a dog that looked like her, more than one actually, as she mentioned her mom and sister. Shouldn’t be too hard to find a dog like that in this place, though he hadn’t a clue where to begin to look. Someone with more experience in this town would likely know where most dogs congregated. “I can’t say I’ve seen anyone else that looks like you here, but then again, I haven’t been here long. Just arrived here myself recently.”
He hesitated before asking, "If you don't mind me asking -- and you certainly don't have to -- but how did you get separated?" He'd understand if she didn't want to talk about it. He didn't like to think about how he and Annie got separated, of that night. But if the setter told him what'd happened, maybe that would give them an idea of where the missing family members would be.
She told him her name, albeit stammering a bit. “Juniper. That’s pretty name. Well Junie, It’s nice to meet you,” He said with a smile, and couldn’t resist giving her a bow, if only to try and make her smile. He could almost hear the scoff his sister would make if she was here. Show-off, she would say. “I’m Tristan.”

Annie trotted along the sand, tail waggging as she passed tidal pools. There was nothing better than the smell of the ocean, she decided. It was far better than the forests, and most certainly better than being in a town. But she had to admit that it was nice to walk amongst the trees, even if sometimes it did get dark depending on how close together the trees were. The salty air, though... It called to her, luring her to frolic in it. The mix of water-loving retrievers in her longed to jump into the water. But she was content to just walk along the beach, to seek out whatever there was to see. Then she could play in the water.
The golden female's attention was captured as a crab walked across the sand. With a bark, she lunged towards it, sand flying from beneath her paws. She didn't land on it, since the poor creature didn't deserve that. It was just trying to get to wherever it was going. Besides, she didn't particularly want to find out what it tasted like. Some other adventurous dog could do that. She landed near it, tail wagging, nose inches away from its claws. The fact that there was a large, barking creature didn't seem to bother the crab. It just continued on towards its home and the girl followed it, curious about where it was going.
The crab scuttled into its hole and Annie stood over it, staring at the hole. Her tail curled over her back as she wagged it, as much as she hated her tail. Her brother didn't have a curly tail, so why did she? Back to the crab though, since there was no use in thinking about lost family members. What a strange creature. Why would it ever want to live in a hole when it could spend its life in the sun? Didn't it wonder what else there was beyond the beach?

Elizabeth’s ears dropped back slightly when he mentioned his siblings. At least he’d recently seen his siblings, unlike her, who hadn’t seen them in a year. She had no idea if they were still alive, or if they’d too left home. But that was her fault, she had to admit. She was the one who chose to leave home, the one who just couldn’t wait to explore everything beyond her small town. But she also didn’t have anyone to tell her what and what not to do either. She wasn’t quite sure if that was a fair trade-off or not. "I'm not quite sure where my siblings went. I haven't seen them in a long time." She paused for a moment before continuing on, her tone taking on a brighter tone. She didn't want to think about sad things like that right now. "But maybe I'll see them again someday! I mean, you never know."
He mentioned a town called NewWaif. She tilted her head, trying to remember if she’d passed through there or not. Then again, she couldn’t remember which way she’d come from, and she had a horrible sense of direction regardless. How many times had she snuck out of her puphood home and gotten lost? Too many times to count, at least. "Don't think I've ever been there," she commented. "It sounds nice though. Back home, it's not so nice. There's a bunch of packs there and they're always fighting. I suppose that's one good thing about being on your own: you don't have to deal with that. It was nice being with Mom and my siblings though. But everyone's gotta set off on their own, and that's what I did." She couldn't help but end her statement with a nod. She still wasn't entirely confident about her decision to leave, but she could at least act like she was.
At least he didn't seem to mind her chattering, which was a relief. She didn't really want to scare away the only company she had, even if they'd just met. Her eyes couldn't help but travel upward to his ears as he mentioned them. He does have big ears, she thought, though she was too polite to agree. Bet he can hear really well.
Her own ears pricked forward as he said something about buildings. Exploring them did sound like fun. "That sounds like fun!" She replied, bounding ahead of him, her tail wagging excitedly. "I have to say, I've never been inside a two-legger building. Mom always warned us to not go near them." Then again, she did have a hard time following the rules her mother set out for them. And her mother never said anything about not going near them when you had company. Not to mention, she hadn't seen any humans around so it must be safe to explore.

Tristan regained his composure as he stared at the staircase. The last thing he needed was for someone to waltz in and see him cower at the staircase. That would be rather embarrassing. It wasn’t like it could move anyway, save for maybe the steps crumbling underneath him.
He heard a bark, and turned around, the staircase forgotten. He tilted his head in confusion as the setter referred to him as Bramble. Nope, wrong name. Bramble, he was not. But she was rather cute, he had to admit. Not to mention slightly taller than him, which wasn’t new, though it still felt weird. He didn’t like being the shorter one, even if he couldn’t help it. He could thank his father for that one, though there was the possibility that his mother had been the short one. But that wasn’t important right now.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not Bramble,” he apologized. “And unfortunately, I don’t know a Bramble either.” He noticed her embarrassed expression and hurried to hopefully ease that. "But if you need help looking for them, I can help you. What do they look like?" He then realized that if she thought he was Bramble, the other dog must look similar to him.

Not a very creative title, but whatever.
Elizabeth - Joyful, happy, talkative (sometimes), sweet Elizabeth. She's going to go blind somewhere around 3 so just keep that in mind.
Love - She's young and somewhat naive, so I could see her falling head over heels for someone once she gets to know them. Or really, just fall head over heels in general before thinking it through.
Enemies - Let's face it, with how talkative she can get, I can see her making some enemies. Or really, just her making someone mad in general. Or someone could betray her trust, and then she'll hunt them down because you don't do that and get away with it. Throw whatever at her.
Friends - ALL THE FRIENDS! Seriously though, she needs friends. She's in a new place, without any family there, so friends would be welcome. It might take her awhile before she trusts someone, but once she does, they'll have a friend for life.
She's really open to anything, so bring it on!
Tristan -
Love - Flings/long-term relationships, whatever you want, he's open to it. It'll take a while for him to come around to the idea of a long-term relationship since he's got some issues. But he's got no issues with having flings, him being a.... Romeo/Casanova/whatever-you-want-to-call-him. He loves kids though. Has to be a long-term relationship with that though, 'cause he's not going to want to ditch his kids and will actually want to be part of their lives.
Enemies - This boy's got no filter. He's bound to make enemies at some point. He won't say no to a fight, and won't hesitate getting into one just to prove that he's right or that he's not a coward. Not to mention that he's got a big ego.
Friends - He might be a big-mouthed flirt, but that doesn't mean he can't have friends. He likes looking out for the little people, the ones that need help.
Annie - Tristan's long-lost sister. Neither of them know the other is in Graycott.
Enemies - Annie can be sarcastic, which is bound to make her some enemies at some point. Not to mention that she really doesn't like idiots and she'll point out if you're being a hypocrite or if you're wrong. In short, she's brutally honest. Also, don't boss her around. She won't like that. She's not a pushover.
Love - She's extremely awkward around guys considering her brother tried his best to keep them away from her. So she's never really figured out how to interact with them. But she's open to a possible relationship. She doesn't do flings, so it would have to be a long-term deal.
Friends - She's deeply loyal to those she calls friends, and wants to see the good in others.

Relief flooded through her as the male took a step back. She didn't mind company, but obviously there was a limit as to how close one should get when they just met someone. She couldn't help but smile at his introduction. "It's nice to meet you. That's a very interesting name. I like it." Much better than her own name, which sounded plain, and not interesting at all. But it was what her mother gave her, so she didn't think it would be very nice to change it. Obviously her mother thought it was a nice enough name to give to her daughter.
“I just got here recently, maybe a day? So yeah, I’m new around here. This place is pretty quiet. I kind of expected it to be different. More noisy, I suppose. I mean, where I came from, there were always dogs coming and going. It’s kinda silly, I suppose, to think that every place would be the same,” she replied. “I mean, not every place can be the same. That would be boring. Imagine if you go to a new place, and it’s the same as the next one. Where would be the fun in that?” She hoped that she wasn’t being annoying with her chatter. More than once, her siblings would pile up on her once they got too annoyed with her constant chattering. It didn’t always work, much to their dismay. “Where are you from?”
She paused, thinking over his question. Would it be safe, to go exploring with this stranger? He was right, that they might be safer in numbers, but she didn’t know him. Then again, she was lonely, and far away from home. It would be nice to get to know at least one dog here.
“I’d like that. It would be fun to explore with someone. I haven't really been able to talk to anyone recently, and sorry if I'm talking too much. Mom always did say that I could talk someone's ears off." She smiled at him.

Tristan stepped carefully into the mansion, his nails clicking softly on the tile. This place was very quiet, albeit unusual to a dog who was used to a bustling town. Ears pricked, he listened for any sounds that would indicate someone else was there. Hearing nothing, he continued on. He couldn’t quite explain what drove him to this place, but he supposed his reasoning didn’t matter. There wasn’t anyone else here to question it. But the silence made him long for his long-absent sister. If she was here, she would've bounded into the place without a care in the world. As much as he tried to be carefree, he couldn't. Pessimism was set in too deep for that.
The red and white dog’s tail swished lightly as he ventured deeper. He stopped in front of a portrait on the wall, head tilted. Why would humans have a picture of themselves on a wall? But then, the actions of humans had never been a concern to him. They were strange creatures, not worth his time. Besides, Alice had pounded into her adopted children’s heads that they should never go near a human, that they’d do evil things to dogs.
With a snort, he moved on, pausing in front of the staircase. The retriever mix studied it for a minute, trying to determine whether it would hold his weight or not. It looked sturdy enough, as did much of the inside of the mansion, but one never knew. He shrugged and placed a paw on the first step as a test. It creaked beneath his weight, spooking him. He backed up as far as he could, tail tucked beneath him. He did not want to go near something that creaked. He liked floors not crumbling underneath him, thank you very much.

Elizabeth was so focused on the rabbit, and then figuring out what next, that she didn't realize there was anyone else nearby. She probably would've smelled before he approached her, but when you had a one track mind...
The male's words caught her attention and she turned to face him, the rabbit promptly forgotten. Then again the creature was probably long gone considering rabbits had homes with numerous tunnels. Her tail's wagging slowed, uncertain of what he wanted. She studied him warily, not knowing him and not sure if she wanted to. It'd been a bit too long since she'd been in the company of others. He didn't seem much of a threat, but one could never be too careful.
She realized that she'd be ignoring him if she didn't respond. And that would be rude, which would not be good. Her mother had taught her better than that. Besides, maybe he just wanted to talk. "I would like it if my legs were longer." She replied. "It's not so fun when you can't catch a rabbit. I mean, I can catch them, just not usually when I'm chasing after them. I wasn't trying to catch it though. I just wanted to chase it. 'Cause you know, chasing things can be fun sometimes."
Her tail resumed its regular speed as she smiled. She didn't trust him, but she also didn't want to seem like she was cold-hearted. It was too much of a nice day for that. "I'm Elizabeth. What's your name?"

Elizabeth walked carefully down the street, ears pricked for any sign of life. While not unaccustomed to the lack of humans, she didn't expect it in this town, so far away from where she'd grown up. The tricolor female stopped in the middle of the street, taking a moment to look around. A gust of wind kicked up, blowing a piece of paper around. The noise of the paper spooked her and she jumped. Realizing the source of the noise, she let out a nervous giggle. Silly her.
Maybe this quaint little town would be her new home. So vastly different than the city she grew up in, always changing with the ever-shifting number of packs. She'd had enough of pack politics for the time being. It would be nice to finally settle down in some place.
The noise of something scuffling around caught her ears and she spun in its direction. Tail wagging, she stalked towards it. She wasn't hungry, but maybe it would provide a good chase. Even at two years old, she sometimes still had the mind of a pup. The creature poked its head up behind some bushes and she let out an excited bark. The rabbit took off and the girl sped off after it.
While the retriever mix was fast, the rabbit was ultimately faster. Every time she got close enough to lunge for it, the creature would move even faster. The rabbit darted into its hole and Elizabeth couldn't resist sticking her muzzle in the hole, even though she knew it wouldn't do any good. She barked once more and backed up, tail still wagging. Tongue lolling, she looked around, wondering what to do next.
