I Don't Speak Whale

Esa waved her tail, slightly amused, when she saw the woman startle. It seemed that the sounds and scents all around them had made her own perfume difficult to pinpoint, and the other woman hadn't expected her to approach from this side. But she meant no harm, she was a child at heart. When the woman nodded, Esarosa perked her ears curiously, waiting to hear what the lady would say about the grand, swimming animals. She nodded with interest as the woman explained that these animals were 'whales', humpback to be precise, and there were many varieties of whales. This was fascinating to her, she'd never heard of these creatures. She was glad to hear that at least they were fairly docile, save for the ones called 'killer whales'. Such a simple name, but it got the point across. To be called such a thing, they must surely get the job done viciously. It was too bad the lady didn't know what they looked like. "Wow, I've never seen whales before," she admitted, looking out the water where their slick hides surfaced and dived, "They're fascinating, aren't they? They may be gentle... but I'm glad they're staying in the ocean. Watching them from here is good enough for me." She chuckled a little bit. She used to be totally fearless, perhaps to the point of being a little naive, but she had learned a thing or two since her time in Alacritia. She wasn't as quick to go leaping headstrong to satisfy her every curiosity, like she used to be. Still, she loved learned as much as she could, and she would throw caution to the wind if fear threatened to hold her back. Turning back to the other lady, she tilted her head. "So, do you live here?" she asked, wondering if this woman was from here, or just visiting, "Were you part of Threar? I had a friend who lived here... guess he'll be finding a home elsewhere now. But what about you?" |
