Ankyra Sound lie in wait, hush little heart

As her sister moved to stand in the shallows, Nesaea followed, pausing and letting her nose drift over the surface for a moment, breathing in deeply and inhaling the salty scent. There was a slight hint of fish, too, and the girl wondered if she would have any luck with fishing here in the Sound. It wasn't her favourite activity, but Leucothoe had stirred a determination within her to think of ways to please their new Siren Queen.

At her comment, Nesaea giggled again despite how truly offensive the ward's dirty coat really was to them. She indeed had such a flawlessly white pelt that almost rivalled the colour of the moon, yet for some reason the girl did not seem to care to tend to it properly — Nesaea couldn't really wrap her mind around the reason for her antics. Did she not want to please the Mothers? "The Sound will be a good for her," she answered with an unwavering tone of certainty. If anyone could...fix the ward, Nesaea was confident that Minthe could.

As for the change of scenery doing any good for them — the silver girl cast her gaze around again — only time would tell. She was sure she and her twin would be able to gain Caiaphas' favour with ease if the Queen truly upheld the Nereides beliefs. She was an odd-looking siren, but Nesaea tried to keep her judgement at bay. There was a reason that the hooded woman had come to lead the Sound, whatever that may be. "The Matriarch..." she started, turning to her sister again. "...what can we do to please her?" Of course, the girl had her own ideas of how to serve the Sound and it's sisters, but she was curious if Leucothoe had any plans of her own.
