Baltus accepts the touch easily. He is much more open than Break, and much less skittish. If blind men and children can take comfort simply in his solidity, that's a grand thing indeed, and he is entirely happy to sit here and be dog-shaped and tangible.
An emotional support omen, you might say.
He will wait patiently while Break rests a little while longer, and then urge them both in the direction of people. The Wakers will greet them properly at the boardwalk, and there will be no further need to worry about robes or fresh water or food. It will take a long time to forget the unkindness of the rocks and the sea, but the end of today's road for Break at least will be a bed beneath a roof with two companions from his own world at his side.
He'll wonder about the boy, though, in the days that come after.
Let's wrap here, to make room for newer shenanigans?
