Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sure enough, that rock was moving, although not on its own of course. If the pae moved slightly around the rock he would see a mass of bright green and purple. Lillison, being behind the rock, was completely unaware that someone was standing behind it. She was busy digging away at the sand underneath it. That's why the rock was moving, because of the sand shifting beneath it. Honestly, it was probably rather dangerous for Lillison to be sitting under a large rock that was unstable like this.

Lillison coughed as she accidentally inhaled an amount of sand and sat back, admiring the hole she had dug, while clearing out her lungs. This would be a good place to bury her treasure until she could come back to it... Lillison looked out at the waters and sighed. They were calm now, but during the storm they had been crazy, she found herself afraid to go back. A fish afraid of the water, oh, she really was pathetic.

Lillison noticed the rock preparing to fall for her and she tried to scramble awkwardly out of its way (she still wasn't used to having these legs or being on the land). "Oh dear!" she called out and winced when the rock suddenly stopped in its tracks. Lillison opened her eyes wider and peered up at the blue boy who had seemingly saved her life. "Oh!" she exclaimed scrambling once again so that she could sit on her knees. "Thank you." she told him once she had gained some composure. She probably wouldn't have died if the rock had fallen, but she certainly would have broken something and knew it was better to be grateful then frightened by the angel boy. Under normal circumstances she would've been scared of him. Of course, now the rock was firmly nested into the hole she had been digging. It wasn't a bother though, she could leave the treasure for someone else to stumble upon just as she had. "Who are you?" she asked.

The Guardians? Lillison was confused, and it was something that could easily be read on her face. None of what he had just said made much sense to her. Lillison lived a fairly isolated existence in the ocean, not even interacting with other Naiads, mostly spending her days traveling with a school of fish.

Lillison could feel the boys eyes tracing her body and her cheeks flushed. She had already learned from her first interaction with a faun that she looked different, but the angel boy was definitely more similar looking to her legged form then the faun was. Lillison just didn't have wings, not that she was jealous of them or anything.

He sounded incredibly formal, considering he was just a boy. "Harveer, thank you for catching that rock. You must be incredibly strong." She complemented him. "I'm Lillison... what is the Guardians?" she asked him awkwardly. Lillison was already used to being taught new things by the land-dwellers, but she felt like something like this should be obvious even to her, she wasn't sure why.

So far, Lillison had been more outgoing, more brave, then normal. This boy had saved her life, it seemed there was no need to be frightened. However, seeing the smile on his face, she almost wondered if she should be worried. Lillison wished she could take a step back, give some more space between the two of them, but she was still sitting on her knees and an awkward step back on her knees would be way too obvious. So she got off her knees and sat down on her bottom. The movement was enough to put an extra foot or 2 between them, but it looked like she was just changing positions, getting off her knees.

Then he started his ramble... she listened attentively for most of it. She had never heard anyone go on about anything for that long. She would interrupt him every once in awhile with a question, that he was quick to answer. Though the questions weren't very complicated, imagine if Lillison had asked him why they allowed the great storm to happen, but Lillison didn't think that way. Lillison wasn't sure if she could necessary feel their existence though. Perhaps, she had lived so long without knowing that she was used to the feeling that something might be missing... "Its an interesting thought..." she finally said after there was not much more to be said. Lillison was not really sure what to do with all this information.

Lillison could see that she had let the boy down with her reaction, and she felt bad. All that he was saying just seemed like too much for her simple way of life though. She could just comfort him and pretend that she felt their presence for his sake, but somehow that felt wrong to do. "I'm sorry, I suppose I don't even know what it would feel like." she apologized to him trying to explain her side, and why it didn't come so easy to her as it did to him.

"How do you know all this?" it felt odd to question his faith, but she really was curious about how a young adult would know so much about something like this. "Do all land-dwellers believe like you?"

It was certainly something for her to think about. If anything, what he had said seemed to explain a lot of the unexplainable, although they were questions she hadn't really thought to ask. "Don't apologize, you weren't really being that pushy." Lillison tried to reassure the teen.

"I'm not saying that you're wrong, I just don't know." It was odd to admit that she didn't know. Especially to a teenager, she was an adult afterall, she should know these things. "Well your teacher taught you well, you're certainly knowledgeable, even if I am unsure." Lillison nestled herself into the warmth of the sand, trying to relax.

"Not horribly uncomfortable..." Lillison responded, "Its worse to just be standing up all the time, I don't know how you pae do it." The fact that he had taken a seat though, he must have been tired of standing as well. "Like where?" she asked him, "I don't really know the island too well, this is only really my second time venturing out here... well its still part of my first time up here, I've only been dipping into the water occasionally." Lillison looked back at the rocking seas, the storm had really been pretty devastating, maybe it hadn't taken her home, but it certainly had made her home seem like a scary place.
