Shake it off

She nodded in agreement at his recommendation that she stay still, giving him a smile. In the middle of his introduction, her eyes widened with surprise when suddenly a wave came up and knocked him over. She hopped up like she could have possibly helped him or saved him if the waves tried to take him away like they had her, not that she could have really helped much in her current state. Luckily nothing came of the incident other than an embarrassed glance on his part and a dizzy spell on hers. She chuckled softly and gave him a grin while she tried to take in a few deeper breaths to chase away the dizzy feeling swimming around her head. "Maybe we should move away from the shore a bit," she commented before turning to walk several feet further inland, putting plenty of distance between them at the waves before she eased back down onto her haunches. How would she get back home? She could barely walk more than ten feet without wanting to fall over. There was no way she could make that swim back like this... Suddenly she remembered that she had never returned his introduction and she looked to him with an apologetic look. "Sorry, how rude of me. I'm Pualani." She sighed and looked around at the land that stretched out from the shore. "I don't know what to do now."
