Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Okay," Skeena rubbed at her eyes and took heart at Masika's words. They were in this together. Surely with an adult on her side things would turn out and she would loo at these events later like a bad drea you wake from. Then shake yourself and get rid of whatever left over eotioins stemmed from the nightmare. Then you were free to carry on.

She knew she had never been as scared as she was that day , and she hoped to never be as afraid again.

"Thank you."

It wasn't every stranger who would pluck a youngling out of the sea and procedd to raise her as if she were your own. She resolved to do somehting nice for this lady at a later date to help payback the kindness. Her family took stuff like this seriously.

She was still jumpy and wary of strange sounds but she had otherwise calmbed down and relaxed.

The clothes Masika was making looked so very pretty. The woman was talented. Her Mother also had good taste when she wanted. Dad always drooled over her. It was so sappy.
Thinking of her parents together made her feel better. They would find her somehow.

Skeena would give everything to be back in her bed at home, listening to the racket her brothers would come up with. She sighed. She missed them all. But at least her saviours lap was better than where she could have ended up. She shuddered. As fun as being marooned on an island would be, she didn't think it would be as good as this.

"Does the ocean ever give people back?"
