A New View

[nolifeking]

Stine stood at the edge of the sand watching the sun disappear behind the veil oh water. “Zis iz truly a vounderful sight,” Stine had never seen the ocean before as he spent his life inland and he was simply dumb struck by its beauty. “Vell I zhall zimply love being here, vith a view zuch az zis how could one not be in love.” He closed his eye listening to the sound of the waves flood over the beach and crash. It was music to his ears, ‘so there is a dance to night well I might have to attend unaccompanied,’ he thought to his self as he opened his eyes.

The Hider had taken possession of Seiinkes, walking along the shore happily as if he had not a care in the world. The chimes upon the shared vessel rang with their usual tone, but the sound lost to the crashing of the soft waves. He smiled, watching their gentle rises and falls, the innocent happiness on his soft face untainted. Looking along the shoreline he noticed another figure and, despite the warnings of The Seeker, walked along toward him, a delighted smile upon his face. He hadn't the slightest clue as to how introductions went, but after overhearing a bit of his speech he responded instinctively, "it gets better, the view I mean, when you're slightly inland, past the mountains, the peaks frame the sea and it's beautiful," he said without another thought. His eyes closed and his smile grew wider before he realized he had spoken. He looked around nervously for a moment before he faced the being he'd approached and finished with an introduction, "and, um, I'm Seiinkes, it's a pleasure to meet you."
