Asahi was astonished beside him. She hung back momentarily while he pushed forward to peer into the cracks. He asked if earthquakes did this and she considered it while trying to get a look around. The ocean shore was quite a bit west, they were rather inland. There wasn't much in the way of mountain ranges except the cliffs of Lazuli Falls and what the castle was built on. Could water have bubbled up beneath the sandy soil?
She came alongside him then and peered down into the crack. It was deep and dark as if it hid a cavern beneath them. The cracks didn't look big enough to fit through... were they? Would they collapse as they looked inside?
She looked up at her blue bird Sei, who came down and pecked at the sand for a moment, scratching the surface and then rolling in the soft dry sand like a sand bath before alighting back into the air. It brought a smile to her face.
With a subtle mischievous grin, she brought up a pawful of pale dry sand and poured it between Kea's shoulders with a giggle. She quickly darted back with a grin as he would look at her. She had never played a prank on anyone not her sibling before.
Speech // thought // Nihongo
Asahi does not typically speak, even sometimes when she wants to.
Her brother Jiro may enter her threads unannounced!
