[open] woke up in the morning like this

[Eva]

breaking like the waves down on the coastline
breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink

Eva had been so caught up in her frustration at meeting the kraken-mare again, that she finally notices how calm the other sea creature remains during her entire ordeal. Not one moment did the kraken-mare ever lash out in anger at her, but remained completely in control of her own emotions.

The girl huffs softly at her realization. She peers at the kraken-mare angrily but silently as her orange-gold eyes peer at her curiously. Eva cannot understand how someone could be so calm in the moment where she is boiling with frustration at meeting the kraken who previously attacked her. Is she really that stupid? She thinks with annoyance. But the kraken-mare is completely at peace, calming looking at her. It was the way Eva would look at the ocean and the serenity she felt within the very waters itself.

The kraken-mare blinks in surprise suddenly. Was she missing something here? Evan couldn’t quite tell. Her ears perk slightly at the soft voice that finally holds the answer to her previous statement. The sea creature frowns, but then there is an obvious laughter tossing the frown away from the kraken-mare’s lips. It seemed the mare had finally come to some sort of realization.

“The wrong kraken?” She rolls her eyes at learning there is more of them. “There are more of you. Great!” She shakes her small finely shaped head in annoyance. It was just what she needed to hear now.

Eva couldn’t handle knowing there were dangerous within the waters now. If one kraken attacked her, what would the others do? Would she always have to look behind her to ensure her won safety within her home? She didn’t like that feeling at all.

The kraken-mare apologizes for what happened to Eva. There is sincerity in the mare’s voice. “It’s okay. I didn’t know there was more of you krakens,” she says softly. The kraken-mare even offers to make up for what happened to her by another kraken. “A favor?” She peers at the other seahorse curiously. The previous anger within her slowly fades as she wonders why kind of favor the kraken could promise her. “I don’t know what kind of favor you could give me.” She couldn’t know possibly what to ask from a sea creature like a kraken.
