When she wasn't with her mother, Seelie was alone. Deliberately alone; there was no other way to be, between her own siblings and the older seal hunter children. Sometimes she felt as if she couldn't find any room to breathe. To think.
So she stole away when she could. The selkie girl busied herself with playing in the water, testing the ways she could bend it to her whims and the ways she could not. The sea was a constant; relentless, but forgiving at the shores where she lurked. She knew enough by now to recognize its moods, and thus found the ocean a predictable companion. Volatile, but never unreadable.
It was a simplicity she wished she could find among her family.
