Love will find a way <3
She seemed a little shy and nervous in his presence, though that was understandable. Not everyone was used to company, especially when a stranger just happened to sit beside you. She was quick to introduce herself, however, exchanging a rather mouthful of a name. He couldn't quite catch it over the sound of the pulsing waves, though fortunately she offered a few nicknames.
"I like Nala," he mused softly, a small smile dancing on his lips as he turned his head to meet her gaze. Oh, where was his manners? He had to introduce himself, of course. "I'm Tinaro." He chose not to go by a nickname, although a couple of his friends he allowed to address him as 'Tin'.
She looked away, catching him by surprise, only for her features to light up. Momentarily, she nudged him, gesturing to a minuscule creature skittering across the sand before slipping into a small dip in the sand. A den? He had never seen such critters before, having spent his entire life further inland, though it seemed this female knew a lot about these...crabs, was it? Quite a lot, actually. Surely she lived on this island, or perhaps around the coastline of the mainland. "Do you reside here?" he inquired with a curious tilt of his head. |
