Ocean's Breath Plateau taġiuq

The salt's sting in her eyes was a discomfort she accepted for the sake of her safety. She got rid of the sensation by rubbing her eyes, then joined him as he entered the water. Yes, she agreed over the roar of the waves. I did not expect for the water to hurt!

He promptly rode a wave back to shore, leaving her a bit let down by his choice not to stay in the water, but she managed to hide her disappointment behind a smile. She listened as he instructed her from the beach, and she nodded and called back, Got it!

She was motivated to ride a wave like he had, and she took the first chance that she got. In contrast to Rodyn's familiarity with the ocean, Ariadne realized she was unprepared when it was too late. She let the current guide her to shore, only to be pulled beneath the surface and thrown around like a rag doll; just as he had warned, it was painful. 

After reaching the shore, she collapsed in a sopping heap, coughing as she expelled seawater from her throat and nose.
