Tabula Rasa

Solveiga certainly didn't mind the company. And this girl was just so sweet. Every little mannerism, the way she stumbled, both figuratively (over her words) and literally (in the sand). Solveiga couldn't keep the smile off her face as she walked with her. She said that Solveiga was a pretty name, and then said that her name was Okami. "Okami," Solveiga repeated, looking at the girl and smiling, her tail swaying in the open air behind her. "That's very unique. And pretty," she added with a laugh.

As for the stumble in the sand, Solveiga hardly noticed. Not everyone could be light on their feet. She just smiled at the girl, nodding in complete agreement at both of her statements. "Yes, sand can be tricky sometimes," she said, and continued with: "I find it easier if I shorten my stride, but that's just me. As for the water, I completely agree. I've never seen anything quite like this land bridge... amazing, though, isn't it?"

The two pale women were nearly halfway across by now. Perhaps she should ask Okami where she planned to go after they made it to the mainland. Maybe they could continue to travel with one another, if their destinations were similar. "So Okami, where are you traveling to?"
