[ … them? who’s them? the one waker is already off and running, those screams fading and leaving vi with only the sounds of gasping and laughter as her sister falls apart in front of her. no one else is here. just powder. just vi. she wants to say as much but she hesitates, instead chancing a glance away to take stock of the immediate area. perhaps it isn’t only the two of them. further along the shoreline, there are silhouettes. more squid too.
frown distressed and eyes worried, vi returns her gaze to powder, only to hesitate for the briefest of moments before scooting close to grasp those shaking shoulders. ]
Let’s go away together. [ she leans in, forcing a smile in what she hopes is a reassuring manner. ]
We’ll find some place to talk, for just you and me.
[ vi doesn’t know this place at all. she has no idea what is further up the beach. it’s bright and commotion carries easily, but despite there being a crowd not far from here, it seems more beneficial to go toward it, than letting powder remain in this specific spot and this specific mind space. vi will find them a secluded spot nonetheless. she’ll make it work for them. ]
And then we’ll figure all of this out. [ she wants to run her palm over powder's hair and brush that heavy bang aside. to gently knock her knuckles to her sis' cheek in a wordless you've got this encouragement. but she doesn't. instead, she lets go and gets to her feet, holding out her hand for powder to take. ] Okay?
