Nova
It's been quite some time since Nova's been in Torchline, so the visit feels extremely overdue. She's missed seeing the ocean all the time, feeling the salty breeze kiss her cheeks, hearing the crash of waves, and don't get her started on the shops. Her favorite places had been here. Fabric stores, accessory shops, craft stalls, and snacks - gods, she misses Torchline snacks. As it is, she can smell the fried fish and baked oysters, eyes catching on one of her favorite smoothie places.
Gasping, she rushes forward to that familiar place, drinking in the various flavors with a hunger that has her tasting them on her lips. She quickly orders a Blue-Darey Dream that apparently has hints of lemon and strawberry mixed in! However, when she spots the shaved ice, she brightens and immediately orders one of those too, having them put every color and flavor on it so that it's practically dripping in vibrancy. Her blue eyes are wide and shimmering as she accepts the smoothie and shaved ice, spinning around to skip towards a nearby bench.
She takes her place there, perched on the wood like a bird waiting to take flight again. Then she's diving into the ice, taking a giant bite as she bounces and wiggles from her perch. After a moment of shock from the cold, she giggles and takes a bigger bite, her eyes traveling out to the people who walk by and the birds hopping along in search of dropped morsels of food.

The dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
