Stavanger Bay hurt, i can't shake

today while looking for pieces to her collection, dalia came across an ucommon find -- a starfish! except, it was not as she had always found them, dead and dried. no, this one was still living! and it's little feet stretched across the sand the best they could but... to no avail, the little ocean creature made no advances. it seemed it's little feet couldn't quite grasp onto anything. dalia, silently, wondered why. a nearby tide pool provided her the perfect opportunity to observe the creature.

afraid to harm the thing, the pale sylph didn't dare pick it up in her teeth. instead, she nosed it gently into the tide pool, watching as it settled to the bottom and then sat there. perfectly still. dalia did the same -- perfectly still.
