She'd meant to wait for Cobalt, after all.
Instead she led him further from the sea, still cutting a path inland in her search. Maybe it was some fanciful maternal yearning which drove her — the hope that she might find her mother somehow, somewhere, even after all this time. Bit too late for a "birds and bees" talk, but —

Blue settled by one of the pools, contemplating its warmth, contemplating the warmth of life in general. Or rather, the lack.
