“Warmest season – didn’t know that was a thing in Halo.” To which she laughed – though she didn’t know much about the climate and region overall. “Maybe you could give me a tour. Ooh, or I drive us around and you just point out the highlights.” A sneaky little grin formed on her features again, machinations and plans forming that weren’t diabolical means to an end or trying to cease the Family from gaining ground everywhere.
Though, that was another portion on her mind.
Ignoring it for the rummaging around of amusements, she gave a cackle at the pirates comment. She could almost hear Jack snorting and sneering nearby (“smugglers, not pirates”). She curled her knees up to her chest, grinning once more, as she wrapped her hands around her legs. “I still think it’d be way more fun to be a sea monster.” Snagging at prey? Throwing them around? Being an irritating boss of the ocean? A beautiful thing to uphold.
His own chuckles spread over the area, and she sighed a little; wistful and hopeful. “Oh, I’m the captain.” So yes, he’d be at her mercy. “I’m amazing at steering. And going fast.” It was just the landings weren’t so great. But there was plenty of snow to land in amidst Halo.
Fangorn waved his vines around in a ‘don’t do it man’ sort of warning and Sila visibly cringed while Melita continued talking. “Nah – I never have anyway. Maybe some do, like when people get seasick?”

because it takes a single wild ember
to bring a whole wildfire to life
