He saw her come out of the sea but did not rush right to meet her. Surely, surely something had gone wrong. He'd made a mistake somewhere and he was about to pay for it. Staring down from his perch with sad eyes and lowered ears he took a deep breath and held it. He was going to have to face this.. and so he let it out with a drawn out sigh and turned to make his way down the path. Emptying out near the shore, the grullo approached Pierce with caution. His nerves were not fire, making every step an electric experience. The way he felt a gust of wind would surely knock him off his feet from the sensation alone.
Coming to a halt a few feet from her, he tried a smile and felt it falter on his lips. What was he to say? Yur a failure! his mother shrieked in his mind and he wondered if he'd gone insane.. Still, standing in front of the bay who had come home to him only after he'd lost her.. "I'm.." A FAILURE! he took in a shuddering sigh. "I'm sorry.." He braced himself.
