Kiviuq sighed, barefeet pressing into the soft sands of the white beach. It was early, shortly after sunrise, and Kiviuq was still tired. Nanuq was restless for some reason and kept poking him with his cold black nose until he rolled out of bed. The Inuit boy decided to wear down some of that endless energy, so he grabbed the canine's lifejacket and walked him to the shoreline.
Nanuq had issues swimming in rough waves because he was missing a front limb. His head often dipped under the water and Kiviuq frantically ran in a few times to retrieve the 80 lb dog from drowning. Plus, waves tended to be rougher when Kiviuq frequented the beach. Regardless, the orange dog-lifejacket strapped on the tripodal canine kept him afloat with ease. Nanuq didn't especially like the accessory, but he tolerated it if it allowed him to swim and cool off.
Lobbing a stick into the turquoise waters, Kiv watched as Nanuq leaped into a wave to charge after it. The scene brought a smile to the tanned kid's face, which was a rare expression on the teenager, but it was becoming more frequent. Mathias was working with him on his powers, and despite Kiviuq's efforts to make the blond leave, he was stubborn as hell. Kiviuq looked at his hand. Maybe what Mathias said was true. They were trying to see if Kiviuq could bring good fortune, but hadn't succeeded so far. It wasn't the most important thing for the Greenlander though. Kiviuq just wanted to learn to suppress his powers. He'd be completely content with that alone.
A few moments passed until Nanuq bounced out of the water, stick in his muscular jowles. He dropped it at Kiviuq's feet before giving his dense coat a good shake. Kiviuq yelped before skipping back a few steps, but the damage had been done. His jeans and hoodie (despite the heat he usually tried to wear one) were soaked. “Hey you! Argg, you couldn't do that away from me?”
Nanuq cocked his head to the side, his tongue lolling out of his mouth. Kiviuq sighed. “'Course you couldn't...” Picking up the stick, he whipped it as far as he could and he saw Nanuq's soggy form bounce back into the current.
Suddenly, the boy felt something. His vision swam and a cold feeling gripped the pit of his stomach. A premonition? What...? Kiviuq stood very still as the image played in his mind. The boy from a few days ago... the one who did something to Nanuq that Kiviuq didn't understand. He was running towards Kiviuq. He was also injured, but Kiviuq couldn't tell the severity as the premonition wasn't clear cut. He grabbed the front of Kiviuq's shirt and gave him a firm shake, yelling blurred words things into his ear. Kiviuq blinked, his vision returning to the picture-perfect view of the ocean. If what he saw was a premonition... He turned, and (as he expected ) he saw the boy from his memories storming towards him. Kiviuq's mild mood from before disappeared. He wasn't exactly chummy chummy with this guy, and he didn't know why he was so upset with him.
Even though he knew it was coming, he couldn't help but gasp a tiny bit when he was grabbed. Kiviuq was damn near lifted off his feet by this guy, and for the first time in a while, Kiviuq wasn't afraid of himself and his powers, but instead another person and what they might do to him.
