Redhawk Caldera Brilliance Autumn Fern

Dwin watched Frolic paddle away with all her might and remembered a conversation she had had with Teya about water safety and children. Learning to swim was essential, of course, but was it always a good thing? It is the same as teaching a dog to open doors - it is fun as long as it does not become an inconvenience to the owner. If you teach a scatter-brain a skill that they will use for the purpose of getting in more danger, was it really worth it?

"Ghouls sleep during the day, Frolic!" Dwin called after letting her sister fight the water long enough to consider her somewhat tired. "You won't see any. With a naked eye that is. For that you need... ice-glass," this was not the most creative thing she had come up with, but it would have to do. She also noted, how easy it was to continue to lie after that first, seemingly harmless innocent step that you made in desperation. 

"And ice-glass can only be found in winter," she added. By then - hopefully - the kids would be big and adult enough for her to be long gone from here. If Frolic would still not have lost her interest in ghouls, then let her discover the depth of her older sister's deception without her presence.
