see what you find there with grace in your heart and flowers in your hair
Now, it wasn't often that you heard Torchline described as boring. Truthfully, the tropical paradise was usually bustling with activity, but with Deepfrost approaching quickly, the port was growing quiet. Too quiet. Paige was restless. She'd promised to find something fun for her and Mateo to do when he got here. Yet here she was, more bored than ever, struggling to find anything fun. The now eleven year old wandered along the shore, dress a bit too short now to really fit properly, landing above her knees thanks to another growth spurt.
She's not even sure what she's looking for. Anything interesting would suffice at this point. Be it a strange animal or a new person or something shiny to nick off a random passerby.
As if Ludo heard her informal prayer, a loud peal of laughter catches her attention, blue eyes scanning the beach in search of the source. Now, Paige has seen all sorts of bodies and people thanks to coming up in the Halenani. Skin isn't new to her. What is new is the way she notices it. A streak of curls and rather bare skin, save for the undergarments he's wearing, goes bounding into the cold waves and her steps falter. Well, this was certainly interesting. "Thank you, Ludo..." Paige mutters to herself, pressing forward to where the boy was wading more deeply into the water.
"Have you lost your mind?" She calls out to the stranger, a grin curling on pale pink lips as she watches his curls bounce with each step.
