Dragoncrest Cliffs of anactoria who is not here;

set for the 3rd! no post order, will develop rounds on how many join<3

a month had passed.
perhaps many might wait another turning of the moon for such outings, but erzulie and @Rosalyn had only confidence in their own abilities. they set out at daybreak with the children in toddling tow, enlisting the help of clementine and arcelia to help carry the babes down to sapphique's personal beach.
for now, the children were kept quite far from the lap of the ocean, and instead deposited near one another along a shallow tidepool. there were many ways in which the ocean might be shown to the new babes.
their older daughters walked off along the waterfront, perhaps keeping an eye here or there upon wanderlings. erzulie kept herself between the waves and their brood, prepared to mete out a warning toward any child attempting to travel in that direction.
not now. not yet.
but the ocean must be acquainted. a parley, as her pirate might say.
erzulie pointed out a tiny starfish clinging to the rock of the little pool, surely terrified by the sudden descent of inquisitive giants all about. "look, @Sobo, @Loko," she murmured. "@Coraline, you an' mireille come here as well."
the sun would loom hot in the hours to come, and they must return before then, but for now the cherubs were protected from the true glare by overcast satin ribbons of wisping cloud.
