Summary: As her party members flake on her more and more frequently, Skuld has been spending a lot of time looking for some company. Luckily, there might be a kindred spirit nearby who’s in a similar boat. After all, why else would Strelitzia be hanging around as if she wants to talk?

The rocks that broke the waves on the Daybreak Town beach were covered with salt. Layers and layers of meandering white lines lay flat against the craggy surfaces like sheets of an aurora. Skuld traced the patterns with her fingertips as she waited, perched.

It would have been more comfortable to sit in one of the chairs on the beach, or on the steps of the lighthouse, or even on the sand itself. The rocks that formed the beach’s natural bulkhead weren’t exactly a sustainable resting place. But that was kind of the point. Skuld hadn’t expected to be sitting here so long, and when her party members did finally arrive, she wanted to look it.

She was getting tired and impatient. But at least she wasn’t the only one loitering on the beach.

She had seen that girl around a lot, with the long pigtails and the shrinking violet shoulders, waiting around by herself in all sorts of places. Right now she was hanging back conspicuously by the copse of palm trees on the other side of the lighthouse stairs. The ferryboat had come and gone and come again, so she definitely wasn’t on her way to leave.

( Well, there was nothing for it. )
