MOANA’S HEAD TILTS BACK AS the sea breeze cuts through her like a knife. she is used to the warm breezes of motunui or even the cooler breezes on the sea when a storm passed but nothing ever this cold. and yet, the salt water still smelled the same. moana glances over the railing to look to the rocks below. there is a moment of hesitation before she is climbing the railing and dropping to the rocks below. the water is calm today and she wants to be closer to it. she settles herself amongst a nook in the rocks before smiling down at the water. she drags her hand through the cold water before, slowly, it begins to raise up into a sort of wave before her. “ hello, old friend. ”

RILEY.

“ do you ever feel like… no matter what you do, you can’t protect the people you love ? sorry ––- i know that’s personal, i just can’t help thinking that i’m not doing enough, you know ? “

HAS MOANA EVER FELT THAT no matter what she did she couldn’t protect her people? absolutely. her entire life she had been preparing to be chief and yet, there were days when she wondered if she was the right person. she had wondered if taking her people out on the sea after generations of being land bound was the right choice and then she had ended up here. her people were on their own. guilt washed over her in waves. “ ----- yes, ” she finally answered before letting out a breathy laugh, “ to be quite honest, i have felt that way my entire life. ” as the chief of the tribe, she needed to hear the problems they were experiencing. she gave the other a kind smile, “ is there something i can help you with? tell me what’s wrong? ”

MAYA.

“If you say that one more time this smoothie is going on your head. And I’m not playing. I’ve done it before and I can do it again.”

MOANA’S GAZE HARDENED AS SHE looked at the blonde. seemingly, the other did not seem to comprehend the need to get back to her people. she is trying to not show that she is scared, terrified that she has absolutely no idea where she is. “ i just need to get to the water. can you at least point me in the direction of the sea? ” if she could at least get to the sea, she could find her way home. she was absolutely sure of it. she was the wayfinder after all.
