kiss quick, i've got a line out the door who all think they can save me
The Qilin's hooves are muffled on the sound, but you probably wouldn't have noticed even were she walking on cobblestones, so entranced you are by the sea. So when a voice stretches into your mind you react with a start, heart racing and shoulders tensing as you glance over your shoulder. And of course, the thing that you see does very little to calm your now-racing pulse.
A qilin? Here? But no, she must be an attuned, if she's speaking to you. Still, such a shift is impressive to say the least.
No, I...well.. You laugh, cheeks round and rosy. I don't know how to swim, actually. Where I live the sea is far down the cliffs and is certainly not as welcoming as this. Glancing down at the Qilin's slender legs and hooves, clearly not made for swimming (not to mention the fire), you tilt your head slightly. Are you? You wonder politely enough, even if you think the answer is no.
