Totoka River dancing with the waves

Normally the man would prefer his solitude. But clearly something wasn't working for him. Étoille still did not entirely know what to make of this snowy woman with the mysterious past, but she would certainly not be a liability. After a few moments of contemplative silence, he hums. "Oui," he says, "yes. Thank you." 

Étoille glances further up the coast, looks back at her. "Shall we follow the coast North, then," he says, not quite a question (as it never is), but offering nonetheless a space for her to change course if she wishes.
