She wasn’t surprised by the incoming visitor – Sila’s overhead notions were enough to ascertain anyone coming by – but as the dragon gave a hardy screech to the other, Melita’s head shot up from where she was studying the water. Rising from her crouch, she greeted the young Attuned with a wave. “Hey. I was just checking out the pool.”
For what, she didn’t say, but given all the stories, and how she had seen the featherless thing once upon a time, there was always the chance there’d be another glimpse.
Regardless, she brushed her hands together, watching as her last rock sank to the bottom, and addressing the Luminary again. “Up to anything in particular?” Maybe she’d deigned an opportunity too, even if fortune wasn’t fairing them lately.
Pondering once more, her nose wrinkled, mind going through impulsive notions until they settled on something else. “I was hoping to do some hand-to-hand training today, if you’re looking for something to do.” With a wry grin that inspired probably nothing but dread from anyone else.
