The Sentinels Stargazer

A woman’s voice pulled him from his trance.

The sea blue of his eyes switched to her, noting the bright colors that adorned her coat - vibrant red being the most prominent. Then-

Yer missin’ a leg…

Swordfish gawked at her for a moment, gazing at the stump where her leg should be. There was nothing but a scar to show what had once been. The young man thought it bewildering that she had lost an entire leg and still roamed so close to the sea. A short distance away, he could barely pick up on the scent of her.

Sorry- I-

Swordfish huffed a breath through his nose and pulled his eyes away from her missing appendage. He returned the sea blue stare to her face, the brightness of her eyes. The simple muttered apology wasn’t really enough to cover the moron’s fumbling first words.

I never met someone missin’ a leg like that. It’s… kinda cool.
