The disguised serpent was utterly silent. As if they were a seviper tasting the air with their own fangs, their mouth slightly agape to breathe it in. It was not clear air, no, it was fog that carried a heaviness that was bore similarly between them. Yet one of a mourning ocean and the other of an exhausted sky. Rest seemed creeping over their eyelids as they stared upward for a brief time, the fog so thick they could almost see the sun from above's light being extinguished as soon as it hit and refracted.
What a task it was, memories of their own resuming and replaying, as if this was every other moment, every other attempt to calm and reassure, yet all it ever ended as was anger and rage. An ocean that could be slice in half by the air that oxygenized it...
An audible sort of sigh pressed against their lips as their upturned head became a downward glare towards Marea. Perhaps they looked past him, past their brother, the one they cared so much for that they could have suffocated him to keep him from himself. From his love.
Though they held themselves back. Fog only feeling as if one were atop a moment--perhaps their own tower bore similarity, where humidity so high caused droplets to from 'pon the fabric of one's clothes and the strands of their hair.
Spoken softly, with hardly a sight of emotion as they took another step forward, towards their brother, their kin. There was a part of them that would always see that whale as a child, a calf that never quite left the comforts of it's own little pool. In a way, the ocean was simply that...a pool of comfort to seclude oneself to. He was not even alone in that habit, the lord of the sky found the Ozone too be their most joyous. Where comfort can breathe across their skin.
For them to be okay and calm. To be stressless and without worry as they scan the starry skies for those that have fallen to devour in kind.
Yet, they both were so well aware that peace never quite lasted. There was almost a stubborn inhale as their eyes pressed along Marea's face, then down towards the grave. It was as if they could see her there. Her spirit, her mind, her eyes. They barely even knew their brother's love--his wife.
They had long since given up the possibility of their own spouse, to have one to love. The sky was enough. They had to sacrifice the possibility of love in exchange for protecting everything, the nature of it all, the weather...To keep oceans from blood the land, and the volcanic lust to dry out the high tides.
