The sea is quiet today; still and gentle, waves rippling back and forth like grass in the wind.

The school of fish glides back and forth, placid and undisturbed, and the girl in the center of the school looks up at Lucy with wide eyes.

And her eyes light up.

Because oh.

It worked.

Maybe this isn't all horrid.

Lucy smiles, a little shyly, as she stands at the shoreline and looks at the girl.

and_the_north August 20 2006, 04:20:18 UTC

The girl's answering smile is quick and just as shy, but bright for all that.

"You came back," she says; though she doesn't expect Lucy to understand.

"I thought that was you."

She's smiling a bit more widely as she walks a little into the water.

She doesn't even have shoes to start with, any more, when she dreams.

The fish around Lucy's feet dart off in confusion, reforming their group a foot or so away.

"Oh, I have been here," the sea-girl says, earnestly. "I have been here all the time."

"Perhaps it is me, then. But you're right. I came back. I was hoping you'd be here. How long has it been?"

and_the_north August 20 2006, 04:38:15 UTC

A small smile.

"It must have been a mahquek, at least - maybe two."

called_lioness August 20 2006, 04:40:26 UTC

There's a pause.

"That long?" she hazards, uncertainly.

and_the_north August 20 2006, 04:46:10 UTC

"- it may have seemed longer than it was," the sea-girl admits, almost embarrassed.

"It is very quiet here."

called_lioness August 20 2006, 04:52:03 UTC

"It is," she agrees. "But either way, a long time. How have you fared since I saw you?"

and_the_north August 20 2006, 05:12:42 UTC

"Well - quiet but well."

The sea shepherdess ducks her head, reaching a hand out to gently stroke a wayward fish, and confesses, "Little changes in the oceans here."

"Well is good, though, even if it's quiet." Lucy doesn't care, much, that her skirts are soaked as she sits in the water.

"What's your name?"

and_the_north August 20 2006, 05:34:56 UTC

"Chiara."

A little hesitantly: "What is yours?"

called_lioness August 20 2006, 05:40:24 UTC

"Lucy. It's Lucy. Chiara's a pretty name."

She's shy, a little, and she's not.

And it's okay.

and_the_north August 20 2006, 05:53:12 UTC

"So is Lucy."

Suddenly: "Would you like to come further in? The fish won't be frightened if I tell them not to be."

called_lioness August 21 2006, 00:08:41 UTC

"I'd like it a great deal, yes," she says, eyes lighting up.

"If you're sure it's all right."
