Turtle Island take what you can, then onto the next

if you want to wait to start the next thread so as not to make assumptions, that's fine! : ) but since a few days have passed if you throw up a thread on WGI I'll hop in! or I can start one if you wish : )

 

And as Marlow enjoyed Huā's company, her charm, so did she value his. His warm smile and gentle manner had her nodding an eager yes to his question. Of course, I will be your tour guide, She laughed. It was good, too- she was not suspicious that he would pull anything terrible there, but sometimes people were not what they seemed. Her own cousin came to mind, and she sliced the thought away- but Huā appreciated the chance to keep an eye on him and his actions. No children could be harmed, no food stolen- and yet if he asked kindly she would not mind gifting a meal in return for his good behavior there. 

She watched as Mar pulled himself upwards, shaking out his stormy coat onto the nearby stones and gazing around, and then back to her. That sparkle in his eye, that grin- she could tell he had an idea, and as he began to ask his question Huā was already standing up to join him, shaking out her own damp pelt in turn. His mischievous grin was mirrored on her own dark maw. Sure. She hummed, coming to join him at his side. Seaglass eyes swiveled over the rocky island, but there wasn't much to see. Not a tree in sight- though ferns and shrubbery dotted the place here and there. Huā paid him an awkward glance, not yet finding any one thing that drew her... but perhaps it would be discovered as they went. So she scampered forward, scaling the rising stones slowly while waving her tail, as if signaling him to follow.
