ISLA
It feels more natural than it should, to walk arm and arm with him; Isla relaxes into the touch, the gentle pressure against her side as they stroll along the beach (and no, the cliche of long walks on the beach and the idea of dates is not lost on her). "You have a surprisingly big ego," she shoots back with a playful grin across at him, though it's all in good fun. He feels like the extrovert to her introvert, but there are too many crossovers to make it quite that simple. Either way, Isla is enjoying herself.
But he asks if she knows a one-eyed Ascended who lives in Torchline, and her fanged smile turns very bright indeed. "You must mean Nate Wrenzaok," she says with a nod. "He's a doctor - I'm part of his medical guild, the Wren Society. He also happens to be married to Torchline's Governor. You can really pick them, Cal." Laughing, Isla gives him a gentle nudge. "And what did you tell him? Did I look like I enjoyed taking off your arm?"
Relaxing does sound good, and she kicks a bit of soft sand as they trundle their way along the sandbar. "Mm, that's right. A very good friend of mine asked me along to test out a new Attuned shift of his, and I've been wanting to swim more ever since. Maybe I should go to the Oasis more often, hm?"
