Dragoncrest Cliffs Continuity

posting to keep this moving! last round! no posting orderrr

@Sobeille's eyes received a measure of her mother's surprise — and delight. as the twins bent heads over the pearls, she nudged @Chacal in pride and then looked steadily at val. in her eyes was appreciation, for things said and things unsaid.
her sister's poetic ability was not her own, but the obsidian would speak into existence each meaning.

mireille moved across the sands to stand before her daughter, joy beautiful upon her face. another daughter to sapphique, another heir to the seacliffs.
"@Shadess. you be de keeper of de pink pearl. your spirit be kin', your love generous. your heart be pure. de size say you are loyal to who you be among us. use t'ese t'ings to help t'ose around you. but you willnae let anyone mistake a gentle spirit for a weak spine."

---

the obsidian stepped next toward the men who had joined them, a slender soul with a lovely pelt. her eyes shone to see that they had rolled the same, as if their love had touched the heart of the sea.
"@Phobos. you be de keeper of de black pearl. confidence an' wisdom belong to you. de size of de pearl speaks of your devotion, an' prosperity follows in your steps. be true to what it is you know. you are seen."

---

now she looked to the man at his side, the brave one who had entered the sea though he did not first know her embrace.
"Pepper. you also be de keeper of de black pearl. its size says you have a great an' boundless heart. de powerful mysteries aroun' us beckon your confidence, dat you be brave enoug' to explore what your wisdom already be knowin'."

---

mireille stood before another son, their verdant eyes meeting. such love she meant to imbue him with, a shield against the forever storm.
"Lafayette. you be de keeper of de peach pearl. dis size means your mind be good an' strong. you be bringin' allies to us wid your brightness an' joyful heart. de sun be in your smile, an' your energy will be everlasting. no one be standin' against such beautiful light."

---

now the obsidian looked fondly upon his twin sister, seeing a ferocity in the girl that translated to what the saltwater had offered.
"@Lucette. you be de keeper of de silver pearl. its size speaks dat your mind be swift. elegant an' graceful, you also carry our strengt'. you put faith in your knowledge; already you listen an' collect wisdom. use it to serve sapphique well."

later mireille would inform lafayette of the history thus far behind the peach pearl; that his cousin suzu had once pulled one of her own from an oyster. and quietly, for lucette; that erzulie had drawn the exact same pearl in her own time.

but for now she encouraged them all to mingle, to speak of the pearls, to ask more questions, and to bask in the warmth of their kinship.
