Seren
"I'd like that very much!" Her enthusiasm was genuine, and not only because it would solve a mystery; she rather looked forward to another chance to spend some time with Hadama. So far it had been very pleasant.
Accepting his request without complaint, Seren got to her feet and dusted sand off her dress. Looking around just to see that everything was where it should be - the bone had settled into another patch of sand, the orb was where she left it, nothing had been left behind that shouldn't be there - she extended a hand to her guest so she could lead him back to the lighthouse.
"No, it is the same as on Caido," she assured him. "I can choose where we exit though, as long as I've been there before."
For tonight however, it would be Aumakua. Just as they were saving trials for later, so too would exploration have to wait.
A cool wind announced that the islet had been left behind. The stars shone distant on a sky where clouds had drawn past the moon. The warmth had bled from the air and white froth on the waves announced a storm coming in from the sea. Perhaps it would blow over before morning, perhaps it would not arrive until then; either way, in an afterthought Seren reached a hand back into the pocket space and withdrew a thick sweater to pull over the light garment she already wore.
"Looks like bad weather is coming in," she judged, stifling a yawn in the soft knit of the sleeve. "Where do you stay? I'll be heading back to Haulani, if you want company." She could just return to the island of course, but there was something quite refreshing about walking the beaches at times like these. Purifying, in a sense.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
