Selkie Cove: Tuesday early evening

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana just didn't feel like going back to her room after class - not to either of the rooms she thought of as hers, actually. She walked aimlessly for a long time and eventually found herself staring out at the ocean by her old standby, Selkie Cove.

She managed a smile at the randomness that had brought her here and climbed up onto her favorite rock to sit and stare out over the ocean. Her coat and gloves weren't warm enough to stop her shivering from the ocean breeze and the cold of the rock under her, but she didn't want to leave.

It had been an interesting weekend, though Saigo had not found out just why his human had reacted so strongly to the hairless one.

He was performing one last patrol of the island to make sure he was gone before heading back, and spotted a familiar sapien below. Saigo came in for a landing.

Lana smiled as she saw Saigo coming. //Hello,// she said. //It is good to see you again.//

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

//And you. Are you well?//

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

//I am,// she said. //And my panther cub is back to being human again.//

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

//That is good. Has he learned not to surprise Fandom Waterfowl?// Ducks don't have facial expressions, but the smile was implied.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiled. //I believe he has. He was quite embarrassed when he became himself again.//

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Yes, ducks do laugh. //How have you been spending your time since then?//

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

//Studying and working mostly,// Lana said. //And you?//

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

//Attempting to adjust to the increasing cold, and keeping the island safe.//

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

//You protect the island?// Lana asked curiously.

//The bouncy glasses human has left. As a warrior, I do my best to fill the void. Fortunately aside from a suspicious hairless human this weekend, it has been quiet.//

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

//I'm not sure who the bouncy glasses human is, but I think the suspicious hairless human is the one who thinks he is my guardian.// Lana looked a little rueful.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

//The bouncy one was long an enemy of my people. But he defeated a powerfull threat to this island, proving himself a good, if misguided human. You need guarding?//

Matilda had never really gone exploring around the island much. She would have asked the twins to join her but she left on rather short notice and didn't want to disturb them. She ended up on the shore of the ocean by chance and saw someone in the distance. She approaches quietly and calls to the person softly as she nears, "Hello there."

Lana smiled at her. "Hello, Matilda. How are you doing?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Oh! Lana!" Matilda sits down next to her. "It's great to see you. I've been doing well. How about you?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I'm okay," Lana said. "Did your mom make it up for Parents Weekend?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid not. She's a principal of a school so she's usually really busy. I'll go visit her sometime instead." She nodded. "Did you have a guest this weekend?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana nodded. "My former guardian. It wasn't the best weekend."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Well the good news is it's over right?" She smiles encouragingly and tries for a subject change in case she doesn't want to talk about it. "That book you reccomended was interesting. I liked it a lot."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana nodded again. "There is that. And I'm glad you liked the book. There are a few others in the series if you're interested."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"I found them and read them already actually..." She laughs and grins sheepishly.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana smiled. "I should have figured you would. Well, that's the good thing about books. There are always more."

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Yes. That's one of my favorite things about books." She smiles too.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"That and the fact that they're a great way to escape from your life," Lana said with a quiet smile.
