The woman took his lighthearted speech much better than Gideon would have expected. In fact, her lack of reaction was enough to make him look twice at the strange fae. She claimed her name was Nati, and he ruminated over the information. "I'm Gideon," he said with a small chuckle. "Though 'Good Sir' works just as well." He had no doubt this prickly woman would have far more backbone than he if they found themselves facing any sort of 'beastie' as all. "I suppose a night out in the cold is what I get for taking a spur-of-the-moment swim," he said with a shrug, by way of explanation. He still wasn't sure what she was doing here, but he always wasn't going to press her for that information if she wasn't willing to share. She was here now, taking up one more cozy spot on the island than might have been available to him alone, but beyond that he just didn't care. The man turned back towards the ocean, where the moon had just begun to shine it's silver light down upon the wave. True night was rapidly approaching, and he sighed. Oh well, he'd faced worse nights. At least there was no snow or hail or driving wind. He would do his best to find somewhere nearby, fully intending to enlist the stranger's help should something surprise him in the middle of the night. "Well, good luck with that," he said at last, with a gesture to her make-shift den and a slight shrug. He would find somewhere warm and cozy of his own to spend the night in!... Right? There had to be more than one spot on this entire island to build a dan! |
