starter for @birdwhisperer | continued from here
Marianne would have never guessing how beautiful the beach was during sunset if she weren’t transported to this mysterious oasis along with many others. Of course the unfamiliar feeling of being homesick settled somewhere between her chest and the pit of her stomach, and the female wasn’t sure on how to deal with it. Did she miss the chaos of the Golden Deer classroom? Of course. There was never a quiet moment, which made it easy for her thoughts to be drowned out, and her fellow classmates were always considerate of her ways. It was a relief for her to see familiar faces also stranded there, but at the same time Marianne wasn’t quite sure if this whole thing was a blessing or a curse. Sure, she could see the appeal of it being like some sort of vacation getaway, but for her it was anything but. It was like putting innocent people into a cage with a monster, where she was the monster. The thought had her squeezing her hold tighter onto the fabric of her skirt. “I won’t be a monster. I can’t be a monster… Not here…” She spoke out to no one as she tried to calm her racing heart. Marianne was so caught up in her own thoughts that she did not realize another nearby.
He’s hearing a conversation he shouldn’t be hearing right now. In fact, it was less of a conversation, and more of a... reminder to herself? A trail of sweat falls down along the wyvern rider’s neck. He could easily, very carefully, step back. Simply walk away quietly and ignore this happened.
The mention of a monster -- and becoming a monster -- irks him, however. Thinking more into the subject only summons headaches and blurry images, but he recalls a roar of a creature he’s never encountered before. The idea of this meek woman turning feral and monster like wasn’t too far off, and it’s because of that, he can’t simply walk away.
What can he say? What can he do? He doubts he’d influence her somehow. He’s just a stranger.
Regardless, he sighs and gives in. He walks forward, not back, pass the woman he only recognized as the girl from the stables. She’s always accompanied by a horse. Sometimes, by birds. A person he’s seen frequently enough in passing but never truly interacted with.
He stops in front of her, feet tickled by the low waves that reached the shorelines.
“An idle mind is the devil’s playground.” He speaks, eyes set on the waters. She might not appreciate him acknowledging what he heard, so at the very least, he doesn’t look her way. He lightly kicks the waters, causing ripples and a stray crab to move elsewhere, pausing before continuing. “You shouldn’t let yourself be alone if such thoughts plague you.”
