After taking a moment to enjoy the sound of crashing waves, Kieran moved forward with Ryanair behind him. When he came face to face with the person the bond was pulling him toward, he stilled and tilted his head. 

“I came because I wanted to, shrimp. He doesn't need me to battle for him, though I wouldn't mind-” Kieran halted Ryanair’s words with a click of his tongue. Kieran watched the girl before him, his eyes slowly blinking as he tried to comprehend the blurry memories racing in his mind. She seemed familiar and yet a stranger to him, he tugged out the necklace from his pocket and held it out. The crashing waves brought with them the smell of sea-water, he sighed and answered after a moment. 

“You know who I am so I won't go about introducing myself. Or I think you might know me...I wasn't really myself at the time.” It wasn't a lie, he remembered every other time in his life with  crystal clear clarity. This part, the moment he met this girl and bitten her, it was all a haze. Ryanair shifted behind Kieran, their bond flaring with a mixture of concern and uneasiness. He could feel it now, the need to run and not give a damn why  he needed to. He'd managed to hide away from the family that had been chasing him, with a sigh he holds out the necklace with a shrug. 

The nagging in the back of his mind, settled as he unconciously listened to the two hearts in front and behind him. His body relaxed slightly as his eyes scanned the edge of the ocean, the feel of the wind around them bringing with it the blurry memories. He'd been on the run for the longest time, only taking breaks long enough to feed and move on. He never really fed until he was full, with the family of hunters right at his heels. He'd come across the small town after three days of running non-stop, his control waning and body aching. The rest refused to make sense, Kieran gritted his teeth and raised a hand to rub at his temples. The necklace felt like a brand against his skin as he waited for it to be taken. 

He wanted to go home now. He didn't want to deal with anger.
