When Heavy Wings Grow Lighter

The cross marked girl would keep herself positioned daintily upon the shore, her sad eyes would let curiosity break through their appearance as she would want for Alpine's reply. She was focusing on him, on his words and his actions as she tried to overcome the stifling sadness within her. He would distract her quite well as the shared each others company on the beach, his words reaching out to her. Grabbing her focus and keeping her wrapped within himself as she fought her sorrowful memories. He would inform the girl of his enjoyment, sure he would take a second dip. Wondering if she would follow, he would continue to coax her. "Your argument is rather valid, sir." she would start, trying to show him she had been amused by his words, "I'm just afraid my strength would fail me. Maybe if I just stay in the shallow water?" With effort the girl would rise from her bed, obvious she still needed time on her feet to completely reverse her actions. She was shaky, but she was sound as she found herself moving closer to Alpine's form. "don't go too far.." she would find her paws slipping under the waters surface as she passed her companion's form and began her dip. She would feel a bit of light heartedness take over her as mischievously she would look back over her shoulder at the brute. Taking aim she would let her paw slip, the cascading water directed at him.?
