get ahead of myself

"then I shall go east" if the woman's words were true, she'd know soon enough. Desdemona bent over, sniffing at a large pink flower before her eyes shifted to the shoreline. the reef had been good stepping when she traveled to this island, but she wondered if it always was or just with the lowered water levels. the swim hadn't been hard on her. it was quite shallow in some places. turning back to Deathbelle, she'd go on. "are you looking after your niece alone?"

there was nothing malicious, merely asking a question. she didn't say she wanted to even see the girl. it was something to mull over. the other woman had been kind enough, so she felt a bit of... generousity. "it must be difficult to leave the poor thing alone for long so you may get food" Desdemona swirled back to face the woman "if you will allow me, I can catch something small for you both" that way, Deathbelle could conserve her strength. "think of it as... well, showing off my skills for a pretty face." she'd chuckle boldly.
