{RQ} with these diamond hands

They all converge back to Hotaru, who had sought out one of the pools of water nearest the ocean's reach, where the lava flows branched out like reaching hands into the cold blue. They don't need waves for this part however. Looking over the collection all three have amassed, the Valkyrie's lips quirk in approval. "Wonderful work, gentlemen," she praises with a kindly croon they are both close enough to her heart to warrant.

Crouching down at the water's edge, Hotaru pulls a handful of rocks from her own collection bag and lets them drop down into it in a cascade of sound and droplets. Immediately a few sink, while the others bob about and find their way back to the surface after the submersion. "Just in case Frey needs the attributes of these rocks for the magic they intend to wield, we should only take the ones that float. Their heat transferring abilities are already inherent." And while she could test that magically, part of her has them do this solely for the companionable nature of the act.

Swiping the floating rocks from the surface and back into her bag, the Valkyrie rocks back comfortably onto her heels and gestures the men to do the same with a small, closed-lipped smile.

I promise you there's times I'm not so sad
someday the good will even out the bad
