  The beast bobs in the water next to the elf. Splashing about he get the elf's attention. The elf turns his head toward the island and your eyes meet. You know you know him some how.

The sea elf approaches the island walking in your direction. Before he gets there, the boat comes to the island and quickly drops a smaller boat carrying four people.

Nalani made eye contact with the elf, and for a second, he seemed more familiar to her...she's wasn't quite sure why, but she barely had time to think about it, when she saw a boat full of people land on the beach.
Nalani's eyes grew wide as she watched the foursome. It had been years since she'd seen anyone remotely similar to a human, and her first instinct was to run and hide. But she knew that it was probably not the best way to go about welcoming them to the island, so instead, she just stood there and waited for them, like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming car.
She waved one arm in the air, greeting the new arrivals, and she tried to keep her nervousness in check. This might be a bit odd. She hadn't spoken to anyone but herself and the island creatures in the past 15 years...Would she still be able to be social? Could she even still form coherent sentences?

a number of different languages poors out of his mouth, common being some where in the middle. "How long ye be on Roost Isle?"
He comes walking on to the beace, a great fanged manatee like beast in tow. "About 15 years she's been a castaway on this island, she was saved from the storm all those years ago, when she was just a child."
"Really, 15 years? Why didn't your master have you return her to Omaca?"
"Im not sure about that myself. Just that he's taken some form of infatuation with her. You can ask him soon enough...he wishes an audience with you...I think he's a little displeased with all the irritation you've caused his brother."
He spits on the ground. "If Tempesti wasn't such a beast of a monster, i wouldn't be displeasing your Oceas, he knows its just business."
He sighs, "He does, he does, but not even Oceas enjoys dealing with Tempesti, and no one's stirred Tempesti's ire quite like you have in like 300 years. I can't believe I had to shield your boat with one of Oceas' spells. You really gotta find someway of apologising to him."
Laughter, "yeah right, Tempesti would take that chance meeting to strike me down." He straightens up, "So whens your master coming?"
"At sun set, he will come to this island. What brings you out here anyways?"
"These land lovers wanted to try and get to the island, something about finding possible ruins or information on the Pool of Whirls. What should we do about the castaway?"
"Well, this is her home, I imagine she'll do whatever she wants."
A break in the conversation.

*Walks up slowly to the savage with a big smile on his face and his palms turned up*
"Hi ~ do you speak? Do you understand me?"

Pushing her glasses up on her face and talking more to herself than Nalani. "15 years? Curious. That quite a long time. I bet you know quite a bit about this Island then. It must have been hard being here with no one to talk to and nothing to read. Yes curious. But I'm sorry I'm rambling." She faces Nalani "Well hello there. You've been here for quite a while. I'm Lorea. It's always a pleasure to meet someone new." Then she kinda takes a glance at Coud. "Well almost always a pleasure anyway." *giggles* rofl

Nalani stood there listening to the conversation between the rough seaman and the aquatic elf...Infatuation? Had someone kept her here, even if she had the opportunity to get away? It couldn't be... It almost had Nalani fuming...but she'd wait to hear what happened at sundown...
Turning toward the young girl with glasses and the young cloaked man, Nalani's eyes grew wide, as if she didn't know what to say. She clasped her hand over her mouth, squeaking. It had been years since she'd had to talk to a real person...
"I...I'm Nalani." She nodded hesitantly, her hands shaking as wrung them together. "I un-der-stand...It's just...I've been here so long...
Nice...Finally...I...Home." Her eyes suddenly got misty, and large tears started welling up in her eyes. Dropping to her knees, the young woman cried, tears dropping into the sand. "But...now what? My family...they're gone. Nothing. I have nothing."

Between sobs, she managed to get out a few words here and there...Surprisingly, she remembered how to articulate, even though it had been so long. ((hahaha))
"It's...been---fifteen---years. I guess I should get over it. There's no use crying about it now. I've already been sad about them...I'm glad to see you guys."
And she looked up to the man, glad to hear that she wasn't the only one in her situation. "A very long time," she said to him, nodding. "Who are you?"

*Laughs audiably (but not directly) at the Captain's candor with the Sea Elf*
*returns his attention to the 'little savage'*
"Hmm...? My name's Coud ~ It's a pleasure to meet you Nalani... So are you lonely here? Would you like to escape this island? Give 'civilization' a try?" smile

Seeing Nalani drop to her knees crying she goes over to comfort her. Rubbing her back a little. "Hey don't cry. This must be pretty overwelming. But I'm sure that if you decide to leave the island you can stay at my house with my father and I. We have plenty of room. We could help you find any other family you might have like aunts and uncles or cousins as well."
Hearing Nalani's name she thinks back to what she read in her fathers nots. 'I recognize that name... she was a passanger on the last recorded ship that sailed to this island 15 years ago. There were no reported survivors... she's probably the only one.' She thinks to herself.
