He'd furrow his 'brows just slightly as he watched her, explaining that no one had ever told her what things around her appeared like. No one had ever cared to? How could that be, he barely knew her and yet he was eager to share the experience of such awe inspiring natural occurrences like the ones here at Cathedral Point. He decided not to comment on it, but instead enjoyed the sound of the waves.
When she'd asked about animals, he shifted his attention back to her and thought for a moment. At the time, the world around them was quiet. It was just the sea, the point, and the two of them standing on top of it all beneath a northern, summer sky. Honestly, though.. if no one had ever explained to her, she had no idea what the possibilities were out here on the northern coast and that made his chest tighten just slightly. An idea came to his mind, one that some might possibly see as deceitful.. but a little white lie for the sake of happiness and experiences? Well, what harm could it do?
"Yes," he spoke confidently, his natural eloquence continuing so that he hoped his words would be heard as true. "Below us, there are several rocky structures that usually keep the tide from entering the shallow waters in the alcoves on either side of us." This part was true, and easily left his tongue, "But currently, it is high tide, and now is the time when the waves can reach over the rock walls and fill the coves, which creates a gateway for breeding salmon." It was sad, really, that there were none.. because honestly the alcoves would make perfect breeding grounds.
He continued, "The eagles know this, so standing on the higher boulders below us are two massive birds, waiting for the tide to roll out so they can pluck any salmon too slow to leave before high tide ends. These birds are huge, almost as tall as you and I, just waiting quietly and patiently for the reflective scales of trapped salmon to signal that it is time to feed." He smiled gently, looking back to her as he imagined the thought of this picture himself. It would be a shame to admit the truth, to tell her that there was nothing.. she deserved beauty, so that was the tale he told to her. One of beauty.
