A Drop in the Ocean

"Not a moment of peace," she would utter before showing herself to him. She was unbelievably close, and unbelievably familiar. Eyes of honey would examine her for a moment, trying to pinpoint just where he knew her from. Nonchalantly she would tell him of a lake, gesturing in the general direction. For a moment he hesitated, tilting his head to the right. He lingered just on the edge of the border, and her telling him of the lake - which resided inside the border as far as he knew - seemed almost like a trap. Was she trying to get him jumped? Why would a stranger try a thing like that? Why would a woman try a thing like that? "Aye, I see there is. Any chance there's unclaimed water somewhere in the vicinity? I'd hate to tick off whoever laid these borders." Little did he know he was talking to the woman herself. "And my apologies for bothering you. I swear I'm usually not this helpless, but I've only just traveled here and haven't a clue where anything is." Perhaps excuses weren't necessary, but he hoped she might have a bit more patience with him knowing his particular circumstance. He thought to tag on his name, but seeing as he knew very little about how much help she'd actually be, he decided it best to save that for a more appropriate time. In the moments of silence that came after his utterance, Aeryc would note her particular markings. He recalled them from years before, but could not sever the specific memory in his mind. Perhaps he'd only seen her in his travels, or somewhere like that. "Talk" "You" Think |
