breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink
There are many things Eva has learned this passing year. She had thought she knew much more about the waters around here, but she had not quite known everything. At one point she thought there was never a predator in that sea that could hurt her. That was until she had met the tentacle beast when she later discovered they were called krakens. Now there was another sea-creature called kelpies.
Her own little brother, Luath, was a kelpie. At first Eva had been a little hesitant learning about the nature of her brother—a sea monster. As she watched Luath grow she began to feel otherwise about exactly what kelpies were. Luath was simply a sweet boy and she grew to love her little brother since the day he was born. Of course, there had been that parrot instance but that had only made Eva smile and be filled with laughter.
Eva’s right ear swivels in the direction that her brother lingers back in just for a moment. Hello Luath,” she smiles warmly when he greets her in a familiar manner before settling at her side. The purple nereid welcomes his company easily. Eva loved every moment with her younger siblings. She remembers the first day Adria told her she was going to be a big sister. Not to just one sibling, but to two of them! It was a big day when the twins came into her life that she realized just how lucky she was to find Adria and be part of a family.
At his request, Eva smiles. She enjoys singing the songs mother has sang over the last year. The nereid made every attempt to remember the songs and to learn the island language her mother spoke in. It had been a hard attempt at first to learn her mother’s language, but she picked it up after a couple of attempts of studying hard. “Of course, little frè (brother),” she says softly and presses her muzzles into him for a moment.
“Come along with me,” she begins singing softly again. “We can wander through the jungle and do as we please. Come along with me to a cliff and under a tree where we can gaze upon the water.” Eva hums softly for a moment. “We can chase the butterflies, bees, and birds. Come along with me. All of my collections I’ll share with you.” Eva closes her eyes and hums softly again. “I’ll be here for you always and always be with you. Come along with me. We can do as we please.” She then nudges Luath playfully as she sings the last bit of the song.
