Winter Grey Ocean Bay

Setekh watched the girl, intrigued by her demeanor and grace as she approached him. Pretty thing. Lovely, really. He noted her cautiousness, and allowed a faint smile to grace his ivory visage. She was not like the others – timid and easily swayed. This one had spirit, it seemed; a potential for challenge and a delightful prospect regardless of how true his initial impression rang. Setekh's mind raced with possibilities as he spoke, calculating how he might weave her into his web of control.

“Greetings,” Came the God’s low and steady tone, his voice smooth and warm all the same. He inclined his head slightly, a gesture of polite greeting in return, maintaining his friendly facade through the common pleasantries. “It's rare to see someone out here, especially on such a cold day.” A dreadful, dreary day! But now that she is here, it is a beautiful, wonderful day!

He studied her crystalline gaze, settling on the clarity reflected in her eyes; eyes like jewels. “What brings you to the beach? Fancying a swim? I must warn you my dear, the cold will take hold of your flesh and bones quickly. It is not at all a joyful activity!” He asked, curiosity coloring his tones as he began to banter lightly. His goal? To know more about this intriguing figure who had momentarily diverted his attention. For now, he played the part of the courteous stranger, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
