Paige
The younger girl's smile is infectious and Paige doesn't hesitate to return it, a laugh rising in her throat as she gazes down at her, a faint flush rising on her cheeks at the praise. She doesn't usually hear such things. Most of the time her tenacity gets her in trouble which, as far as she knows, is the opposite of praise. The young Attuned lifts her shoulders in a shrug, tugging on the straps of her backpack, "It was nothing. Us Halenani kids look out for each other. It's just how it goes." Paige says, attempting to play it off even if she is a bit proud of herself.
That feeling is quickly replaced with one of concern as Sol's chin wobbles along with her voice, the threat of tears obvious as she stands there clutching her stolen meal, stirring an instinct in Paige that she's not sure she's felt many times before. The Attuned reaches forward, gently brushing away the tears, shushing her quietly. "Hey, it's okay. You're being a good sister helping to take care of your brother." She reassures, knowing that the younger girl can't help the way she worries about her brother. Paige can't really blame her. That was family.
"I have an idea... We can go hunt for shells and pearls. That way you have stuff to trade with. Then you can get even more stuff for you guys." She suggests with a soft smile. Who could resist playing on the beach? Paige certainly couldn't.

Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind
They count me out time and time again
They count me out time and time again
