Kiba yawned a bit, laying back on the sandy beach, enjoying the sun's warmth beating down in warm waves, the sea making a cool breeze, and the waves making soft crashing sounds as the wolf lays on a towel, his bag within arms reach, only wearing a pair of shorts and some sunglasses since it was a nice day.
Shiro had just finished setting up the area, laying down her own towel and getting two large umbrellas set up for a good-sized spot of shade, a folding table under the cover of a cloth roof, much like a tent with all the sides removed. She smiles as she sets a small basket up on the table before joining her brother down on the beach for some relaxation.

After taking a casual stroll down the beach of corel bay, Hiruko could see two figures faintly in the distance. He quickly teleported to their location beside where they were sitting.
"Kiba! Shiro! How are you two?!" he greeted them with an expression on joy and welcoming. "It's been so long!"
He beamed smiles at them both and joined them to sit on the sand with the relaxing atmosphere calming his mind and adding to the serenity.

Kiba meeped a little bit in surprise at the sudden appearance. "Oh, hey there Hiruko! Yeah, It has been a while." Kiba smiled as he lifted the sunglasses to look at the tiger. Shiro had a similar reaction, but smiled and relaxed, sitting down with the other two to enjoy the beach. "We have some sandwiches in the basket up there." Shiro offered, gesturing to the table.
((Admin Edit: Please post in the past tense. Thank you.))

"Wow thank you," he said, reaching for a sandwich. "So how is life? Everything has been so laid back at the moment...it's hard to believe that just a few months ago we were fighting evil and all that." He rolled his eyes a little.
Hiruko bit into the sandwich. It was very tasty and he was particularly hungry too. The smell of the sea was soothing as well as the cool breeze brushing through the tufts of fur across his cheeks. "Mmmmmmm..." he mumbled whilst chewing on the sandwich.

Kiba chuckles and lays back on his towel, enjoying the sun and the wind. "Yeah, it really is nice to just kick back and enjoy it all. It won't last too long though, peace never does. So enjoy it while you can. It's a nice way to live." Shiro nods in agreement before grabbing a sandwich herself.

Hiruko nodded in agreement, savouring the taste of the sandwich before devouring the crusts. "Tialka is a magical place...in a weird sort of way, I could see why anyone would want to fight over somewhere so beautiful," he said in a low tone whilst closing his eyes. "But still, it is the wrong way to go about such things. This harmony can be shared...something that Koatia isn't willing to do. He just wants me and my loved ones dead all because of one stupid incident."
His expression glimmered a bit of sorrow and he looked away for a moment in thought with the feeling of all eyes on him. He smiled quickly in order to advert the wrong kind of attention. "But in a way, at least all of this has united us all as one. Through the good and the bad." He helped himself to another sandwich as there were plenty in the basket. A nice tuna stuffed one caught his attention and he politely took another.

Kiba nods and takes a momment before he speaks up. "Tialka is a beautiful place. And worth defending if we can't share it peacefully. But shall we avert our talk from philosophy to something more fun and less logical?" He smiles a bit as he lays back, looking up a tthe sky.
Shiro sits off to the side, enjoying her own thoughts for a while as she ate her sandwich, listening to the conversation though.

"Yeah sure," Hiruko said calmly. "It's so beautiful here. You should go and see Seirei's pups. They're getting very healthy and strong now! It's so nice that they have got such a lovely family together."
Hiruko sat quiet for a while and then glanced at Shiro who was apparently happy to listen rather than to talk. "Are you okay, Shiro?" he asked softly. "You're very quiet. Not that it's a bad thing of course."

Kiba smiles and nods. "I remember back when they were being born... I didn't have a clue how to help. I think guys aren't really adept at delivering babies... Good thing everyone else was there." He sighs and closes his eyes for a few momments, remembering with a smile.
Shiro nods a little bit and says, "I'm fine. Just happy to sit back and relax. Have a bit of fun for now. Thank you for the worry though."

"I wasn't there that night unfortunately..." Hiruko said sadly. "I feel bad but I was away from home. I guess I would feel the same about that...kind of thing. Not sure how I could've helped except for making everyone feel more comfortable."
Hiruko nodded at Shiro. Who wouldn't be able to enjoy the luscious sunshine that was shining down on them? (Except for Mira of course, she loved the ice cold weather). The volcano in the distance was smoking lightly. It was active but not frequently. It did give a nice, exotic feeling to the island though.

Kiba looks over to Hiruko, asking, "Want to go hunting or fishing? Maybe get a bonfire started by nightfall? Enjoy some of this peaceful time in a fun way?" He offered, sitting up and removing the sunglasses from his face.
Shiro smiles and seems happy with the idea. "Yeah, I could go hunting... or fishing. Get ourselves a nice meal huh?"

Hiruko nodded enthusiastically. "Sounds good to me," Hiruko said, winking. "It would be nice to stretch my legs as well. Hunting would be perfect to loosen them up a bit."
He stood up and looked around whilst stretching his arms. "Do you want to hunt on the island here? The animals here a little more wild but I am up for the challenge."

Kiba smiles and stands up, groaning and cracking his back a bit. "Alright, how do you want to do this? Bare paws, a knife, or bow and arrow?" Shiro smiles and waits on her towel, finishing off her sandwhich with two bites. "I'm up for anything you two are. Or I could stay here and fish a bit, make sure we have dinner right?"

"Well, personally, I prefer to use no weapons since I'm used to hand-to-hand combat," Hiruko replied. "And since we are on an island filled with wild and dangerous animals, I prefer to be a little wild myself." There was a slight twinkle in his eye as he said this.
In his day to day life, Hiruko generally stood on his hind legs. However, during hunting, this was impracticle and he would transform into his 'wild' form which resembled a real tiger rather than his Torakan species.
Hiruko's eyes blazed as he knelt to the ground. He closed his eyes as his body shifted into a muscular big cat's body. His bones cracked and shifted and it was only a few seconds before he had fully morphed into his hunting form.
"I hope you're ready to catch up with me," Hiruko roared with his large jaws and quickly sprinted towards the dense jungle.

Kiba chuckles and follows after slowly, feeling no real need to tire himself out so quick, though Shiro had a bit more energy as she picked up her bow and started into the woods rather quickly after Hiruko, looking for game with a fun smile plastered on her muzzle. And he had to admit, even though he wasn't running about, he was having a good bit of fun already.

After getting a fair distance into the jungle, Hiruko slowed down and began tracking prey. He sniffed the floor and realised there were fresh tracks of some wild beast. He lowered his shoulders and crouched along the ground, his paws touching the ground gently so that he didn't make too much noise.

Kiba gave up following and started looking about, sniffing and listening for prey to feed them tonight. Shiro was much farther ahead, though not as far as Hiruko, and nocking an arrow, she started through the forest, more looking with her eyes then her other senses as she moved. The forest itself seemed rather thick and dense, a good deal of shade covering all the forest floor, moss liberally covering fallen trees.

Hiruko could hear Shiro a few feet away from him and his ears moved with her sound. But more importantly, he was focused on the wild deer that he had spotted from the ferns and shrubs of the jungle. It was very large and had a sandy coloured coat. Without the antlers, Hiruko could identify that it was a doe and therefore easier to catch. He crouched very low so that his stomach was practically touching the ground. He then waited, he had to choose the best time to pounce.
