your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Eva - 10-24-2019 your waves are pulling me under i'm caught in your riptide
Eva dame of ischia @[Aquaria] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Aquaria - 10-24-2019 It had been a commotion they'd gone through. A tense and near-violent interlude that had ended in surprising success. The island was still theirs, still home, and despite their King's dark promises, they had managed to keep Ischia as she should be. A beautiful oasis away from the chaos that had so nearly touched them. It felt like victory, and it felt temporary. Nothing lasted forever, after all. As much as she wished it would. But she, and the others, they seemed united in their desire to keep their homeland safe. That's what mattered, wasn't it? The world had gotten so much more complicated in such a small time, and the pearl nereid's head spun with it all. It was frightening and exhilarating and she wasn't at all certain she liked it. The scaled woman walked along the shore, deep in her own thoughts, when the vivid purple of her newly ordained leader leapt from the landscape. Eva, looking as contemplative as she herself felt, feet being washed by the water. It was an easy decision, to alter her path slightly, until her steps left her by Eva's side. They shared the view of the water, even if it meant something different to both. "Congratulations, sister. How are you, after that madness?" She offered, smiling faintly in the sea mist. On her role as a leader, on the way she has handled herself. Eva had been graceful throughout the proceedings. Aquaria had not been so successful in her bearings. "I suppose I should apologize. I do not think I made any of that easier on you. But I am satisfied with our result, and I promise to hold my tongue better in the future." She mused aloud, knowing that things could certainly have gone worse, for all of them. Still, it was a rueful grin she bore now. There were things she could learn from both Eva and Adria in the ways of politics. This event had shown her exactly how naive she was on the topic. @[Eva] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Eva - 10-25-2019 your waves are pulling me under i'm caught in your riptide
Eva dame of ischia @[Aquaria] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Aquaria - 10-25-2019 Aquaria felt the tension ease from her shoulders as they spoke, the serenity of the sea and the gentle nature of her friend uniting like a comforting shell around her. Everything would be alright. Things were already on their way to returning to normal, so she shouldn't be worrying about the "what if's". No point wasting the energy on them. In her subtle way, Eva seemed just as happy as Aquaria felt about the results of the last few days. The burden of leadership was not so great here, not when it only extended to their own family and friends. That was the point, wasn't it? That they didn't need to worry about the concerns of the world at large. Not until it came knocking. She rested her head companionably on the amethyst mare's withers, pulling small locks of red-orange-yellow hair through her teeth and rubbing her teeth against the muscles of her crest. It had been a long few days, and she figured her friend must be just as wore out as the rest of them. Eva's reaction to her apology elicited a bright laugh from the pearl mare. "Oh, well, if that's what you want from me. I'm sure that will be a much easier promise to keep." She grinned easily, smoothing another patch of the woman's hair, settling the shells that clung there to rights. "I promise I won't keep my thoughts to myself. Just remember that you asked for this!" She jabbed lightheartedly. Knowing herself, it was all too easy a promise to keep. One she might regret later, yeah, but that was a worry for the future. Teeth clicking against a smooth scallop shell, she nosed it back in place, smiling at her handiwork. Eva was a beautiful mare, and could stand out in any crowd. She would be a credit to them all as Dame. Stepping back now that she was finished, she smiled again at the flowing water that ran before them. "You know," she began, drawing back on the earlier subject. "A celebration isn't a bad idea. We could have a party, in your and the island's honor. It would be fun!" She could already imagine the beautiful island, the laughing voices and new friends being made. They could invite the Taigan's, and anyone else who would enjoy a night of revelry in their tropic paradise. @[Eva] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Eva - 11-03-2019 your waves are pulling me under i'm caught in your riptide
Eva dame of ischia @[Aquaria] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Aquaria - 11-04-2019 There pair shared a smile, happy to be together in a place that meant so much to them both. They had their home, and sweet Eva would be an asset and a kindness at their helm. It was wonderful to have each other's back when the world seemed so intent on tearing itself apart. Let them enjoy life, and the wonders it offered them. This was a place of peace and beauty, something they had seen to keeping true. Together, they could face what the rest of the world had to show them. Why not enjoy themselves while they were at it? "Oh, I dunno," she laughed, stepping back to prance a delicate pirouette in the sand. "We could have games for the kids, races and swimming and coconut rolls." She grinned at the idea of a flock of foals running amuck on the shore. It would be madness, wonderful madness. "And I figure the adults would be fine with some socializing, good food. Maybe a couple races for them as well. We could make a pool on the beach for the ones who can't swim so well." She suggested, really getting into the idea now. Her dancing came to a graceful halt, a full circle cast in the sand beneath her. "We should use this. To show the world what we are. Horses from any kingdom should be welcome, as long as they can be peaceful and enjoy themselves." She said, in more thoughtful tone. Maybe it was idealistic of her, but she wanted to believe that this could work. That they could stay apart. But why not try? @[Eva] RE: your waves are pulling me under; aquaria - Eva - 11-05-2019 your waves are pulling me under i'm caught in your riptide
