Isla
one bright morning goes so easy
"Well, if nothing else, at least your trek to find me has introduced you to this wonderful, absolutely safe island," Isla says with a wry smile, because it doesn't take much to notice the bones, the crimson foliage, the way everything seems hungry for everything else. All in all, a perfect spot for afternoon tea for two Ancients, right?
Accepting the teaset and the box of tea leaves, Isla does indeed find a spot on the white sands where things are less likely to try and eat their toes, gesturing for Asta to spread out the blanket and using a couple of rocks and a bit of driftwood to pin it down against the sea breeze. "Thank you," she trills as he manages the fire, settling beside him to get out the teapot and the two cups and saucers.
"That sounds delightful," she says, taking a moment to smell the leaves and seeming impressed, offering the box out for him to sample as well. "They must have gotten the raspberries from King's End. We don't get them here in Torchline," she adds.
Waiting for the water to boil, Isla leans back on her hands to enjoy the sunshine. "Did you stay behind in Torchline just to find me?" she asks, assuming Danta would have flown on ahead.
