Selkie Cove: Thursday Morning

[lovelylana]

Lana found herself up early this morning, but without work or classes until after lunch. after talking with Marie about Selkie's Cove last night she found she really missed the peacefulness of it and decided that this lovely cool morning would be a perfect time to go sit on the rocks and watch the waves

Billy had seen a map of the island and thought "rocky bits" sounded like a good place to work on his balance.

He found a good, narrow, sturdy looking rock, and perched atop it. After finding his balance, he removed his artificial leg, and stood on his one foot, hands pressed together in front of him, his eye closed.

Lana saw him arrive and half-watched him. She figured if he looked over and saw her she'd wave and smile, but she wasn't sure if he just wanted privacy.

Thus, the half-watching. Not openly watching or staring, but being aware enough that she'd notice what he was doing.

Billy opened his eyes after a moment and stared out at the water, then spotted Lana out of the corner of his eye. Didn't he used to be more alert than this?

In his surprise, his foot slipped. He managed to turn the fall into a controlled one, catching himself with one hand, and turning it into a kind of flip onto the ground. Then his artificial leg followed him off the rock and landed on his head.

"okay, ow."

Lana was on her feet before she even realized she was moving. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked.

After Billy

Staring out over the ocean was highly conducive both to deep thoughts and avoiding them. Jack wasn't sure which he was intending when his feet led him to Selkie Cove, but when he spotted who was there before him, he smiled.

Quietly picking his way across the rocks, he stopped beside hers. "Any chance that a beautiful girl might share her rock with a wandering stranger?" he asked. "Even if he comes empty handed?"

Lana jumped a little when she heard someone speak to her, then grinned when she saw who it was.

"Absolutely. Please. Come on up." She moved over to make room for him on the blanket she'd set out. "You're more than welcome wherever I am."

"Thank you, though you might come to regret that." Jack climbed up to sit next to Lana and leaned his shoulder against hers. "I didn't mean to startle you."

Lana glanced over at him. "Oh, I don't think so," she said with a smile, enjoying the feel of him leaning into her.

"And don't worry about startling me," she said smiling again. "I startle very easily. So much so, that it's almost like not startling at all."
