I know I'm just a girl, but can I change lives?
When Melita told her to look for a really big stick, Lilliane smiled. "Well, that's why the staff is a good idea, right? Big sticks aren't that hard to find." Looking in the direction Melita pointed, Lilliane nodded. "I'll be right back." Wandering the beach, keeping an eye out for driftwood or branches broken off from trees near the beach, she needed only a few minutes to find something that would hopefully be suitable. It was a big stick, mostly straight, with only a slight angle at one end.
As she returned to Melita, she showed her the stick. "I hope this one is okay." Then she took position a few steps away from Melita, so she couldn't accidentally hit the other woman. Keeping a close eye on Melita, Lilliane started to mirror Melita's movements. At first only very slow, but over time starting to speed up until she had reached Melita's (already slowed down) speed.

If I am nothing, if I am trying, I think I can
