╭XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX╮
i saw the queen;
swam out below her star on sea beneath.
though, i lifted up my h a n d s to her,
she never lifted me.
oh, something's missing in me!

- xWith everything that was scattered along the shore, Ariadne’s mind was definitely elsewhere. Curiosity couldn’t help but to make its way into her mind. It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen some of the effects of a storm before, but never had she seemed to deal with them along the shore. Ariadne tried to make it to where she wouldn’t show up at a time like this since she couldn’t really predict the mood that Jane was going to be in that day, but today was the exception. After having to deal with such a lecture from her sister, anything had to be better than being brought down so harshly by your own older sister. Her whole reason for coming was to just get all of that out of her mind and to focus her attention somewhere else. Still, bits and pieces of the heated talk between her and Tatiana still clung onto her thoughts, whether she liked it or not.
Truthfully, Ariadne hadn’t really taken much notice of Jane’s presence at that time. With her flustered thoughts, it seemed to be a difficult task for her to realize who that familiar voice she heard a bit distantly belonged to, and her wandering eyes didn’t help with that much either. Of course, soon enough, that voice came closer to her. That was when Ariadne was drawn from her thoughts and back into reality. Turning as soon as she heard a shortened version of her name, she turned around in respond to the speaker: Jane. It wasn’t odd at all to see the older girl working, since apparently, there was work to be done. Although, it seemed like her pirate crew was doing more of the work now than she was. Ariadne expected such an occurrence to happen. This wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary, especially for Jane.
”Fortunately, I haven’t seen the man,” she replied to the hasty question in a monotonous voice. Ariadne hadn’t had much of an encounter with the “new” Captain Hook, but she had caught enough glances at him to know what he looked like. What he sounded like was pretty much possible for her to remember clearly. ”Oh! I did hear some chatty people in the forest, though. I don’t have a clue who they are, though, since I didn’t see them.” At least that was possibly something that could help the other. It was obvious that Jane was especially cautious, well, more than she usually seemed to be. From what she had said, Ariadne knew it was safe to assume that the other would fight over claiming the various things that had collected due to the storm, especially if Hook came along trying to take it. Sure, this wasn’t her area of expertise or anything like that, but Ariadne knew enough about the older girl to put two and two together.
Of course, she knew that if Pan, one of those lost children or the Indians saw her around the other, things were bound to get a bit messy. She was playing on both teams, but last time she had checked, she could do practically whatever she wanted. No said that she couldn’t, and it was obvious that even if someone had told her so, Ariadne wasn’t going to be one that would follow those sorts of demands willingly. She knew the reason why she was trying to play on every team that she wanted to be on: she wanted to find some place where felt like she actually fit in. That place definitely wasn’t at the lagoon, which her sister had just proved to her again that morning. No matter how much she seemed to be trying to fit in amongst some of the humans that lived in Neverland, that wasn’t going too well as of lately. Knowing some of them, they probably thought she was just out to play some stupid game with them. That wasn’t how Ariadne liked to play, or at least that wasn’t how she would play almost one hundred percent of the time.
When Ariadne realized that Jane was coming closer in an attempt to do something, all of the muscles in her body seemed to tense up. She wouldn’t do anything bad, right? That was what she kept trying to tell herself. What if the other thought she was trying to play as some sort of spy for someone, which she wasn’t doing? Of course, it did come to Ariadne’s mind that she was just overreacting to something simple. Still, that didn’t stop her brown eyes from watching every movement that Jane made carefully. She wasn’t going to kill her or hurt her, or at least that was what Ariadne hoped would be the outcome of this all. And it was sheer relief when the other backed away, and the only thing that was different was the fact that now the necklace was around her neck.
Ariadne wasn’t sure if she had complimented her, but it seemed like that was what Jane had done. Such a thing was practically a new concept in her own life. It felt like she couldn’t even make herself have the words she spoke come out in such a way. Well, what did people expect from a mermaid, though? Definitely not much kindness or mercy, that was for sure. Still, Ariadne was trying her best to change that. So far, it hadn’t been working as great as she had wished. Being away from her “own kind” seemed to relieve some of the stress in her life, though. ”Thanks?” she said, although the statement came out as more a question due to her confusion. It was obvious that Ariadne didn’t know how to truly respond to what Jane had said. One hand reached up in order to hold the pendant that was attached to the fine, golden chain, running her fingers gently over the piece as she glanced at it for a moment. It felt odd to be around someone that wasn’t trying to criticize or lecture her about some topic she didn’t like, but at the same time, it felt somewhat good to Ariadne. Things definitely seemed to be looking up now.
”So, what’s your game plan for today?” Ariadne asked, trying to cover up the previous, awkward moment of hers. It wasn’t like she had anything better to do that day, and as long as the other didn’t do anything to upset her, she was bound to hang around until she found something better to do.
