Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm sure you'll find whatever you're looking for, Melvin." And, for some reason, Horace was sure. It was an odd feeling. Melvin might view his words as hollow or mere societial trivalties, but he believed. Personally, he hadn't come to this island for answers or for knowledge, but only to escape. And he'd certainly gotten that. Horace didn't know if it was worth it, but it still felt right.

Horace tapped his fingers along his thigh. "I guess I should try doing that sometime - though I've been warned away from the water." That, of course, never stopped Horace. In some ways, he was tenacious... in the worst ways, perhaps. Melvin rose and Horace followed suit. "That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, to be honest. Helped having a conversational partner." He grinned at Melvin, tucked his book in his pocket and prepared to leave.
