He had trailed after his Father whom he had sunsequently lost among the crowd at the beach. He wasn't upset though, he could take care of himself despite his young age. Looking around for something to do he spied a girl playing alone in the sand. She had made fair progress on the sand castle but it lacked proper decorations. Lacking other options he collected stick and shells then placed them all in a nest pile at her feet. There he had been helpful. He eyed her quixotically waiting for her reaction. She looked full Oban but the freckles confused him.

Her day had been good but mostly uneventful, nice of her Dad to bring her on vacation, something special. Matori was so different from Oba, so breezy and wet compared to her drier home. The heat was better here everyone flocked to the beach for the water. She looked at it with disdain. She couldn't swim and it looked awfully wet and squealchy. She preferred land . Thus the sand castle. She wanted the local crabs to be part of a kingdom. Eaxh of them had a small drop of paint smeared on their shells. Tjis way she could tell them apart.
A boy dropped a pile of stuff at her feet. Now what had he done that for?
"Can I help you?"

"It is I who am trying to help you. A proper castle has decorations, the shells can be armor to protext against attack and the sticks can be to protect against infantry charges. The leaf is a flag. Are you from around here? I haven't seen you before and I came here quite a bit with my family." He toed a shell around that had fallen from the pile.
He liked to jeep tabs on the local kids.

Gods he was chatty wasn't he? She tilted her head at him, a predator sighting her prey. The question was would he stay still long enough for her to pounce? A glint lit in her eyes.
"Well thanks then." She turned away, already imagining her crabs as characters in the kingdom. The leader had blue paint , his wife had red. She had checked she knew which were male and female by checking their undersides as the books in the castle had taught her.
The pair fought frequently but iver trivial things, much to the amusement of the rest of the clan and Green Knight a rival male who wanted to steal Queen Red.
There were three brothers and two females that she could tell.
She patted the sand of her castle well down before getting up to chase the crabs around so that they would react to each other again.

She was odd. Maybe she didn't like hybrids? He sat down by her and started to build his own castle in the sand about 5 feet away from her. If it bugged her good, if it didnt bug her, well that was a good thing too. He was determined to figure her out one way or another. It was entertainment and perhaps later he could get his twin in on the game. He sensed shr had potential one way or another. His castle was well decorated and he caught her stealing glances at him. Perfect! It was working.

What kind of ingrate would do this? Obviously she could ignore this infraction on respect but she wasn't sure she wanted to. He had to be doing it on purpose but when she stole glances at him, he was all wide eyed innocence. He looked like a shifter fire hybrid but he also had pink crystals which meant one of the races she was not that familiar with. Mongrel. She had to admit he was kinda cute though. She put a few of the decorations on the castle and tried to tell herself that she would have done it anyway.
Thr crabs peeked oyt if their holes to watch the unfolding drama between the younglings. They whispered crabby noises to each other. Maybe taking bets on which earthling would win the contest of wills.

Muahaha, silent laughter rang out in his head. He was getting to her, he could tell. Lynx would be proud of him. But being irritating to her was so effortless. How could he not see just how far he could take it . He was his Mother's son after all. Thea was a lot of fun and he truly loved her. His father had to be seriously provoked to do something like this. They balanced each other out really well.
He wondered what sort of family this girl had. Was she an only child? Did her parents spoil her like his did. He wanted, nay needed to learn more but it seemed she wasnt a talker. Lynx would know what to do in this situation.

She had to admit that his castle looked pretty good. Well armored with shells, neatly and swiftly made. He was a pro and she was a beginner but she didn't have to admit that, she only had to adapt to the change and make hers better. She started construction on a pen for the crabs with high walls and a roof so that she could watch thr drama unfold.
She glared in his direction.

This girl was something else, he wondered if she had even had friends where she was from. She had no sense of fun, which was a crime. Subtly he came over and knocked a few of her sticks down while she wasn't looking in a show of chasing the crabs.
That would perplex her for a bit he bet. He caught a crab or two and put it in the cage..he assumed thats what she wanted. Now he could watch them escape through the hole. What fun.

It looked like he was trying to be helpful, which made her pause and rethink a little. How had he known what she had wanted? What strange outlandish game was he playing with her? What was going on? She wished her sister was there to figure it out with her. She had been spending a lot of time out with friends which was awesome for her but Variel was picky with her friends she didnt have that many to start off with. For obvious reasons. Oh crap the crabs had escaped! She looked around and found a hoke..it looked like the sand had slumped..drat!

Ha she had found the hole but who would she blame? From how she just rebuilt it with no tint of anger to her body language he figured she had blamed it on her own structural design. Well maybe she wasn't a hopeless case afterall!
He helped her catch the rest of the crabs.
"Whatvare we catching thrm for? Are we going to eat them?"

She sighed but she felt obligated to tell him now.
"It is for my crab kingdom, they each have paint on their shells just there. That is how I tell them apart. King Blue, Queen Red , Knight Green. See how they are scraping together over the female. I have seen people do that with knives over a fine woman. Me i have no interest in being lady like or a damsel. I am a warrior like my Daddy." She was surprised that she had told him so much.

Huh, he was expecting her to completely shut him out. Maybe she just had a super hard shell but was all soft on the inside. His bro would definitely like to meet her, he was sure.
"I see my name is Iexadaroch, you can just call me Iexa."
The cravs were all contained and he was actually proud of his work. Time to chat.

"My name is Variel." She even offered her hand for a shake looking in curiosity at how his own skin was so much lighter than hers but it was the silver gair that got her. She dragged him closer once she had his hand so she could touch his weird silver hair. "Fascinating." she said as she touch it. It felt like hers but it loojed like it was made of clouds or moonlight. "How does it grow this way do you all dye it?"

"Variel is a very nice name, it sort of rolls off the tongue." Unlike his did. Though he still liked it, no one else had it. Though there were similarities in his name and his brothers and his fathers. It had to be intentional. Mom was the only one with a different name. He took a deep breath.
"How does this kingdom work exactly?" He was worried that it was going to be a long drawn out answer.
