The room was quiet, almost like it had been abandoned all together sept for the small bundles, four children, infants in this case. She couldn’t imagine the poor things without someone to care, protect and teach them everything there was to know about life and beyond that. Tsunami couldn’t bear the thought of it all, but one infant caught her attention. It’s own hair was just a shade lighter then her own sea-green hair. Drifting closer, her essence sifting through the air like a murky blue/green cloud. Reaching out with a hand, she touched the infant’s face, or she tried to, a smile came to her face as the young mouse’s eyes opened and looked around.
“Who’s there?” asked a shy voice as the mouse like infant tugged at the blanket it had been wrapped in for warmth. “Hello?”
Tsunami smiled as she turned, her finned tail coiling around the infant and placing herself upon the floor, more or less. She somewhat surrounded the infant with her essence, wrapping her arms about it in a warm embrace. Much like a mother would to a child of her own, Tsunami hadn’t that pleasure as she had died in her teens, 18 to be exact. She had a lover, but he was now gone, she was gone.
~Hello little one~ Tsunami answered which made the small rodent’s ears perch upon its head.
This made the ears twitch as the young mouse looked around at the empty room, well empty besides the other infants there besides itself. Tugging at the blanket again, it closed its eyes again, hoping that it was just hearing things. But a warmth, something was surrounding its small body. So warm, yet unfamiliar, like a warm current in an always freezing water. The mouse stirred to laying upon its side, looking off away from the others, its tuffed tail twitching behind it.
“Who are you? Is it you that make me feel… Safe?” asked the young mouse softly, not wanting to awaken the others.
Tsunami whispered, ~I am Tsunami Inu, though those I used to know called me just Tsunami.~ She nodded running a hand over the mouse’s head in a comforting way as she laid at it’s back as her mother used to do. ~Safe? It could be, I am of the sea. I had come from a place where the sea went on for miles at a time. Where the sun from the surface would shine down and sparkle off the stones and other things we used to make our homes.~
The young mouse laid listening to the voice within his head, his tail tapping the floor before it coiled itself around a leg where it remained. All this talk of the sea and what it looked like was very interesting. Perhaps he could see what it looked like someday? See what the seafloor looks like when the sun shown through the waters surface, this was making him excited, he wanted to see it now. But he felt helpless, unable to really move without the help of a guardian… Maybe, just maybe this voice was going to be his guardian? Oh he hoped so.
“When can I see what you see?” the mouse asked the voice his ears twitching to hear the answer.
~I don’t know if you could, but I’m sure there will be places that we both will be able to see. Together.~ Tsunami puzzled, there wasn’t really a way for the child to see her home, it was lost, out of even her reach. But she hoped that maybe there was something here that was just like it… ~Do you have a name little one?~
The young mouse blinked at the sudden question he was asked, one eye closing as he thought. Did he have a name? If he did, he couldn’t remember thus he shook his head. His ears flopping a little against his head as they swiveled back in a submissive fashion. He wished he could remember if he had a name, but it was useless.
“no miss Tsunami, I don’t.” He pouted closing his eyes and tries snuggling into the embracing essence.
~Oh? Maybe I can give you one?~ Tsumani smiled as the young mouse opened his eyes again. ~How about Inna? It’s meaning Strong water.~ Tsunami suggested openly.
-More is going to be added to that. xD-
