Loose Lips Sink Ships (Iris)

[I'sona]

48th of Autumn, 512AV There was talk of a shipwreck! It was like treasure hunting on land, maybe there would even be glass involved. The thought alone made her grin. More than anything she wondered what it was from, maybe something from the storm? Left overs finally washing up? But she didn't dwell on those thoughts for long, they made her feel strangely guilty and sad. She knew what really lay beneath the waves and surrounded the ruins. But this one would be different. Maybe it was driftwood! It seemed I'sona was not the only one with ideas of peeking at the wreckage because there was a small group of Akalak and Konti either cleaning or searching. Her toes dug into the sand and the Charoda nearly skipped towards the wreckage. Even from where she stood she could make out the chunks of ship, scattered all across the beach. She found herself distracted by the the picture it painted, it almost looked like a boat when it hit something. For a few moments she was entirely silent, contemplating exactly what she was supposed to do or not allowed too. Riverfall had much too many rules for her to actually remember them all. Instead of thinking on it for much longer she moved forwards with others headed towards the wreckage. Questions milled around the air, mingling with her own that made no sense but made her smile. Stomach curling in anticipation she made to enter touch the pieces but a thick blue hand stopped hers gently. "You shouldn't touch anything yet. We don't want anyone getting hurt if something falls." she could hear silent words being said after those but couldn't think of what he implied. Rather, she frowned a bit and nodded, stepping back with the others and staring longingly at the ruins. What was in them?

[Iris Timandre]

48th of Fall, 512 A. V.
It's honestly been three days since Iris even arrived in Riverfall. Thanks to Serrif she was able to get on her feet to some extent but she still needed to hang onto him for support. Riverfall was a very big city. It had many things Zeltiva didn't have. There were more Konti in Riverfall than in Zeltiva. Not as many humans as in Zeltiva, though Iris didn't mind human company at all.

The healer knew she eventually had to go out into Riverfall and explore the beautiful city. And hopefully meet some more people. Riverfall had all types of people, so Iris thought. Akalak came in different colors but Iris didn't know that. She thought they were blue men, green men, and red men all over.

The Timandre sister wore her sleeveless white dress. But she had nothing on her pale feet. She walked past some Akalai, a Konti, and a shipwreck. Instantly Iris' head spins left and she examines the shipwreck. She knew not to get into any business that wasn't her's to take care of but who wouldn't be curious about a shipwreck? Iris inched closer and closer to the wreckage until she spotted something. Iris had to be an inch or two taller than it. And it was greenish. The Konti slowly made her way up to it with caution.

"You there. What....are you?"

The Konti asked in her native tongue, Kontinese. The healer looked it up and down. It clearly looked like some type of sea creature. But she couldn't jump to conclusions. It might have been a land monster. You'd never know in this world.

"Look!"

Iris yelled out again this time in Common with a simple word. The healer pointed at her own face. She wanted to engage the creature into some sort of conversation. If she could. Even if it was only but a few basic Common words.

[I'sona]

She was absorbed in discovering what she could about the ruins, her gaze narrowed on a larger part and her eyes strained to see farther into the ruins. But it was like looking into an underwater cove, she knew something was in it she just couldn’t see what. The Charoda crept forward, just a bit, her eyes darting around to make sure no one was paying attention and repeated the action. She was only a few feet away! She shuffled again, no one said a word. Just a little more. I’sona heard the loud voice but when no hand clamped on her shoulder she moved forward a bit more and heard the distinct sound of someone yelling to ‘look’. Eyes wide she scuttled back to her previous spot. Her body tense as she waited to be scolded but no one and nothing came. Calming herself she turned and looked around for the voice. It wasn’t hard to find the owner, a Konti who was pointing to herself but clearing staring at I’sona. What could she want? She obviously wasn’t trying to get the Charoda in trouble. Curiosity spiked she slid through a few people and over towards the young looking woman. At first she didn’t say anything, confused more than anything. Maybe she had made a mistake? “You are wanting something for me?” She waited patiently, her eyes going back and forth between the ships ruins and the Konti in front of her.
