She doesn't laugh like I expect her too as I tumble into the waves, nor does she reprimand or scoff. She smiles, and for some reason I wonder why I was ever afraid to try and fly in the first place. Why would I ever be afraid, ashamed, or embarrassed if I have Spice with me? She won't make fun of me, or think badly of me - at least, right now I don't think she will. It feels like being around her makes me stronger, and more confident... maybe braver even. I wish the bird-lady was here to see me. I would like to know if this is what she meant by brave, because right now I think I could do anything.

Her body drifts towards mine. At first I"m not sure if this is just an accident, I mean, there is a current and the waves can easily push our bodies around. However as her wing rises and falls against my shoulder I know that it was intentional. I feel the same heat rush to my cheeks as it did earlier when I thought she saw me fall from the sky onto the ground, but it feels different. It's warm all over, which is absurd because I know my body is still freezing. Maybe she's just warmed the parts that matter - some part in my soul that so long as it's warm nothing else matters. I let my body brush against hers as I pull a water logged wing from the water to try and place over her shoulders as well. It pulses warmly with light but gives off no more heat than hers does. But that doesn't matter. Together, it's enough.

She looks at me, her eyes seemingly capturing the sea itself, and smiles. I can't help but smile too, but this time I lower my gaze. Looking at her too long is almost ... well it's difficult in some hard to specify way. That doesn't mean I don't like it, it just means ... well, I actually don't know what it means. I hazard another glance at her, and find my smile widening. "Spice." I say, for no reason in particular other than I like saying it.

I sigh and look towards the shore, and let my gaze continue on to the land bridge. If we want to make it to the Throat we should probably get going, especially before night falls and things really start to get cold.

"There's beaches on the Throat too - bigger ones than this and the water is a little warmer too. If we leave now I'm sure we can find my Father before he leaves to patrol."
