Paige
Sol seems to take her words to heart, tucking them away and holding on tightly to what they meant. The Attuned smiles brightly down at her as she takes that deep breath, putting on her brave face as she wipes away her tears, intent on shaking away any lingering unease. Paige gives her hand a squeeze, not minding the way she reached for it, allowing her to hold on as tightly as she wishes to. "I know a place where there are a bunch of tidepools. Shells always collect in there after high tide." The explanation comes simply, a smile curling on her lips as she looks down at the shorter girl, leading her along the coast.
"That's a really pretty name. I'm Paige." Her own name is given in return as they meander down the coast, heading closer to the water's edge. "How old are you?" She seems much younger than herself, but it doesn't really matter. She's more curious than anything. After a few minutes of walking, the girl comes to a stop by a downed tree, dropping her backpack unceremoniously onto the weathered trunk. "Alright, here we go! See all those little pools? That's where we'll find the shells."

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
