Mortis scrambled, undignified into the shallower end of the water. It brought him closer to the stranger that had startled him. He pulled his wings from the water, without fear that the stranger meant him harm, and shook them vigorously. The rest of his upper-body followed suit. What was shallow to Farrah was laughable to Mortis.

When he’d gotten out most of the water from his feathers, he let his wings hang slightly away from his body, like hanging washing out to dry. Finally, he turned his full attention to the petite, amber woman who lounged in the shallows. He did not think that she was a child, despite her size. Just as he was not yet an adult, despite how he towered above most.

For some reason, she was holding one eye closed, and the other open, watching him. She hadn’t said anything yet,which was perhaps the weirdest thing to the talkative boy. He gave his tail an experimental, happy wag behind him, spreading his wings a tinsy bit more. “Hello! I’m Morits Fatalis. You startled me…” he explained. “But thats okay, I haven’t seen you around here before?”
