 Wanderer had found himself on one of the beaches around the island. He was pretty far from the city, it seemed he was on the other side of the island. He liked it there. The water was cool and the beach sand felt good on his feet. "Yes, this is a nice area." He told himself.

 Neoma watched her friends; Jeffrey, Moss and Dancer who were playing in the water nearby, “Now you three be careful!” she called to them, “Don’t go out too far and stay where I can see you”. She was a bit worried about letting them play there, she knew Jeffrey and Dancer were not strong swimmers, but hoped and prayed that if they got into trouble Moss would be able to help them out, that is, if she couldn’t.
When the three were tired of splashing about in the water, they ran up the beach and began making sandcastles. Neoma smiled, she loved how innocent and carefree they were, “I’m just going for a short walk ok? I won’t be long I promise, just stay on the beach until I get back ok?” Once everyone had agreed, and she was sure that they were safe, Neoma headed off down the beach and began collecting shells and interesting rocks.

Wanderer saw Neoma as she looked for seashells. He walked over to her and put his feet in the water. "Good afternoon. It is a wonderful day to see the sights, is it not?" He asked with a smile.
Wanderer noticed the shells and nodded. That was interesting. Something to take and remember the place by. What a good idea. "Nice shells."

Neoma jumped slightly as she was spoken to, she had been so focused on what she was doing that she had no idea he had even approached, “Oh! I’m sorry, hello there! Yes, it’s a lovely day and this place is beautiful”, she smiled sweetly at him as he complimented the shells she’d found, “Oh these? Thankyou, I don’t plan on keeping them of course, they belong here, they are beautiful to look at though” she held out her hand so he could see the few smaller shells she had collected, “I’m Neoma, and excuse me if this is a personal question, but do you live around here?” she rather hoped he’d say yes, and tell her all about what it was like to live at the beach 24/7, but he seemed nice so she was just happy to have met someone new.

Wanderer nodded. "Yes, I guess keeping the shells would mean others would miss out on their beauty. They will forever be in your memory, which is just as wonderful place." Wanderer thought that was true of everything, everyone and every place.
"Live here? No I'm afraid I don't. Then again one could argue that I do. I live on the Island. I don't live in one place, but all the places. I'm called Wanderer." He then bowed to her with a smile.

Neoma blushed, she wasn’t too sure on what to say to that, but she smiled and placed the shells back onto the sand.
As Wanderer told her more about himself she found herself suddenly full of questions, “So you have no home? Nowhere where you feel the most at peace and where you can sleep? If you don’t mind me saying, it must be incredibly lonely wandering around the place all the time…though I must say you’re name suits you perfectly” she giggled softly and waited for his reply.

Wanderer nodded. "Well, thanks. I feel at home everywhere. The whole island is a wonderful place full of wonderful sights. It's up to me to see it all and experience it. It's all my home and I sleep in many different places." He explained. Sure it might not sound right for her or others, but this was how he liked it.

"Oh I'm sure you must have seen just about every sight this island has to offer with your way of life. It must be very exciting, seeing everything I mean” she smiled sweetly at him, before turning to gaze out at the ocean. After a moment she sat down on the sand, “Do you have many tales to tell of your adventures?” she looked up at him innocently and patted the sand beside her, “If you’re not too busy I would love to hear one maybe”. Neoma realised how forward she sounded, normally she would never think to ask a complete stranger to sit with her and swap stories but she hadn’t seen much of the island herself and was extremely curious about what she could be missing out on.

Wanderer walked over and sat down. "Okay, I will tell you a tale. But in doing so you have to tell me one as well. If you don't think you have a good one that really happened, just make one up." He chuckled as he then smiled to Neomia.
"Well, let's see... Okay, once I was at the Lagoon. It is a nice place to go if you like to swim and don't want to go to the beach. While I was there I noticed a big tree. I walked over to it and looked at it to find a big hole in the middle. It was almost large enough for me to crawl inside. I then called out to see if something happened to be living inside. Do you think there was?"

Neoma nodded, it seemed only fair that she tell him a story if he told her one. She listened intently as he spoke, then tilted her head slightly at his question, “Oh erm…yes?” she figured there must’ve been someone there or he’d have nowhere to go with his tale.

"That's right, someone was. As I looked farther inside I saw a pair of golden eyes peering back at mine. At first I thought it was only the refection of my own eyes as they do glow gold, but in fact it wasn't. After a moment the eyes blinked at me and then the shape came towards me.
I wasn't too scared as I have seen wildlife before and most of the time if you don't bother them they won't bother you. The shape came forward and then flew above me head. It was an owl." Wanderer nodded. He wasn't sure if was a good story, but it was one of the things that had happened to him.

Neoma listened intently as he told his story, she gasped when he mentioned the eyes and sighed with relief when it turned out to be just an owl, “Goodness! I would have run away like a scared little rabbit if I’d come face to face with eyes in the dark. You’re very brave Wanderer, even if you do experience things like that a lot” she smiled sweetly at him, wondering if that was the end or not.
(( Just wondering, do you have any future plans for Wanderer yet? ninja ))

((No, I don't. biggrin Have anything in mind? lol))
"Thanks very much my lady. I think of it as experience. Sure, I might get hurt, but then that is life. If you hid from everything then you would never learn anything." Wanderer nodded with a big smile.
"So, after the owl was gone I found inside the tree eggs. The owl have babies on the way. I decided to leave so that she would come back and take care of them. I suppose if I had known I wouldn't have gone in." Now his story was truly over.

Neoma was slightly lost in his eyes and forgot to reply at first when he had finished, “Oh, that was a lovely story, did the owl return to her eggs alright?” she realised she was staring and looked back out to sea, “So, it’s my turn to tell a tale is it? Let’s see…” she tried to think of something interesting she could tell him, but was drawing a blank, “Hmm…”
((Do you think you might be interested in these two becoming a couple in the future? ^^ ))

((Sure we can do that! biggrin ))
Wanderer thought about it for a moment. "Well, I'm not too sure. I had gone on my way before she came back or not. But I'm sure she did. A mother wouldn't leave her babies for long." He nodded. Maybe he should have stuck around for a bit longer. Then again nothing had ever made him want to stick around before.
Wanderer watched Neoma as he waiting for her tale. He was excited to hear about something he hadn't seen himself. It would very interesting and different for him.
