Whispers in the Wind

Nami felt another shiver wrack her frame, but the sudden presence of another was just enough to calm her frazzled nerves. She hopped a few steps further up the shore as she closed the distance between them fully, careful to avoid stepping into the water - at least for now. Wariness around and kind of water wasn't something she was accustomed to, and she hoped these changes would fade away quickly so she could continue life on like normal. "Are you.. familiar with these parts? I'm new here," she admitted quickly. Maybe this was just... something that happened here? Somehow she knew that wasn't the case, but she liked to be hopeful anyway.

Her question earned a slow nod. "Nope, it's just me. Why-" she started, but then she heard it too, a faint whisper that sounded like it belonged to someone nearby. But the beach was empty, save for them and those little blue lights bobbing up and down in the space between them. Surely that didn't make any sense, though.. "I... I don't know if I like this. You aren't messing with me, are you?" Though she wasn't the type to be skeptical of others, this was an exception, and while he didn't think this stranger was messing with her she just didn't have any other idea what could be going on.
