Moana hadn’t been looking in the right direction to spot the apparition walking from the water, still moving her hand over the gentle waves and occasionally touching the sand. It felt peaceful, a reminder of home, even if the off-colored terrain did leave her feeling a little out of place.
When she heard the voice, however, that sweet and familiar voice, she jolted upright, pulling her hand out of the water and looking around rapidly to see where it had come from.
The girl couldn’t help it; Moana was staring, for what was definitely not the first time during her stay in this City. However, the emotions racing through her were a lot more powerful than simply confusion as she stared ahead at her Grandma.
“Grandma..?” Her breath was quiet, and she wasn’t sure if, on the chance that she wasn’t just seeing things, that Tala would even hear her. She was too afraid to take a breath, not wanting this to turn out to be fake, and her heart was beating rapidly.
It was her, it was really her.
Tala felt her chest tighten, despite her no longer having a beating heart. Her gaze softened, brows furrowing as she looked down to her granddaughter. She almost couldn’t believe it; Tala thought she would never see her again. She wished she could say that she could say that she never wanted to see her here, never wanted to see Moana separated from their Island and Family, but deep down she was so happy.
You’re a ways past the reef, ways away, she wanted to say, her throat not allowing her to. Her hands clenched in front of her chest, Tala being almost unsure of what to do with them.
“ What are you doing all the way here, my dear? “
