Wheeling Gull Isle maybe when the coast is clear

Feel free to skip me whenever.

She was more than happy to accompany her father and her friend on their adventure, and was keen to put on a good performance for them both. Even though Lavender had her misgivings (being small, not being a warrior, having no idea where they were going aside from basic concept of direction) she trusted that Grayday had the answers and happily aided him as they made their way. It was with a freeing sense of abandon that they had left Morningside on this trip — just the girl and her father, out to save the world (or something dramatic like that).

By the time night fell though, Lavender's feet were sore and she was struggling to keep the pace along the beach. It was difficult to hike across the sand for long periods of time, and it was late, and they had been travelling for quite a while (which she wasn't really used to, aside from the relocation of the family to Dawnlark Plains). The trio had visited so many places and she had been charmed by each in turn, although her interest waned over time as anyone's might. Lavender was tired. There was no getting around this fact.

When they came to a halt, she was so far behind Grayday that there was ample time for her to react and avoid a collision. Lavender tilted her head towards her petite friend in the dark and listened to her calling out, but remained quiet - a little sullen - but she answered her father with a friendly nuzzle of her cheek against his shoulder as she closed the distance, and said, I'm here, because in the dark it was hard to tell where each person was, save for Seelie, who appeared as a wolf-shaped void against a backdrop of glittering ocean.

She opened her mouth again to say something, but a yawn came out of her instead. Just as it ended and Lavender's mouth slid closed she felt herself blush (she'd all but yawned right in his face!) and then there was another body on the scene. A girl came careening along the beach towards Seelie — and Lavender felt a strong wave of uncertainty roll across herself, rooting her close to her father. She flashed a glance to Seelie but couldn't keep her gaze off of the strange girl with the odd speech pattern. Later, when they were finally safe among the sea sprite's people and settled to sleep, Lavender would reflect back upon this moment and realize how cowardly she was being. So much for a great adventure.
