MELITA
The youth didn’t expect to hear her name called over the wind and sea, nor Fangorn’s, and the subtle shift in ropes and tethers, as she maneuvered her head over her shoulder to spy across the expanse of illuminated water, slid across the liquid. The bone maintained its hold along the expanse, born and raised and dead in its keep after all, while Melita sought to identify the individual – laughing when she recognized Aurelia.Except this was an Aurelia who’d clearly enjoyed the booze and bonfires down on the beach, rising up from the shallows, embarking closer and closer while the wild honeybee shook her head, didn’t bother hiding the bout of giggles bubbling up. “I have to leave it at the shrine overnight.” She hadn’t asked why. It might’ve been safer that way. She presumed it was some deity or herald device, a way to ensure it was secure, protected, and could instill what she’d asked of it. Moments had already been concocted along the Miana Pool, washed and cleaned, cleansed and showered, in however much luck she could salvage – this was the last stop.
Her eyes went back to the shrine, edging closer while Aurelia embraced the waves. “I figured I’d tie it here, and call it good.” Watch over it for the evening, instead of babysitting Sunjata. "Have you been enjoying yourself?"
You're all gonna watch me
Disappear into the sun
Disappear into the sun
