just because the fog is there
Vesper stays quiet as the shell hunt winds down, his pale gaze cast along the tideline where seafoam fingers curl around scattered treasures. His shadows twitch with idle curiosity, slipping through pools and hollows as he stoops to pick up one last spiral shell—striped and worn, its colours dulled by time.
When Hadama’s voice carries across the beach, low and even, Vesper straightens. He gives the basket a once-over—half full, casually chosen, no real effort to compete—and carries it over with his usual unhurried stride. The handoff is wordless. He doesn’t need to argue his case. He knows what he brought, and that’s enough.
As Nova and Sohalia are announced the winners, Vesper glances toward his sister with a dry smile. He gives her a low whistle and bounces his eyebrows in mock solemnity, as if acknowledging a queen ascending her glittering throne of crab-studded couture. A flash of approval glints beneath the teasing—subtle, but there.
Then he turns, the grin fading into something quieter. The tide’s coming in, and the Hanged Man is calling. Without fanfare, he drifts back toward Torchline’s heart, shadows trailing behind like the tide’s own reflection.
