She doesn’t even come for the prize this time. Yes, rewards are great. No, she has no idea if there will actually be one (she just assumes, that often happens here). But for once, the promise of some reward is not her driving force. He is the sea, and for that alone, she will help him. It is the least selfish thing she has ever done. Not that there isn’t some level of selfish motivation (everything is slightly selfish, in the end). She wants to be close to him, wants to relish in his presence. Even if he’s made of trash and scraps spit up by the waves. Even if he sends her to hell and back. It’s the closest she can get to feeling like she belongs, being near this creature.
So she goes. Because it’s almost like being home.
It is the first large event in Helovia she’s ever willingly been drawn into. Even when he calls for a challenge (not something she likes, not that she likes much of anything). Maybe, if she’s lucky, it’ll be a swimming challenge. Or a growing water plants challenge. Or a changing cool colors in water challenge. Whatever, if it’s water based, she’s got an advantage for once. Because normally, she feels at a disadvantage stuck on the ground. Yes, she has feet and breathes air, but still. She was never born to stay on this damn hard dirt.
She is not the first to arrive and find the creature standing knee deep in the water. She’s tempting to join him, simply because she longs to wade into the water. Instead, she stays on the shore where the waves lap against the sand, her feet turning swirls of blue and purple as the waves crash against her. She keeps off to the side a bit, out of the way of the others, and nods to Kis in an almost reverant way. Not as she would to a God – he had asked them not to think of him as such – but as she would to her god, because he is the closest she has ever gotten.
