[This is stupid this is stupid this is stupid.

That's the mantra running through Euri's head as the western ocean comes into sight. This is stupid and dangerous and a plant isn't worth the trouble of getting this close to so much water, even if the tide is out.

... But damnit! If those rumours are true all she has to do is grab one or two plants. Then she can take them home and grow them herself and given how they're rare to the point of mythical she'll be rich.

Euri makes her way down the hill, swallowing thickly as the full ocean comes into view. It's a lot bigger than she imagined, and she tries to focus on the shallows directly in front of her. All she has to do is wade out to that little island - only a few miles - and then she'll be fine.

It takes her about an extra ten minutes to reach the edge of the water, and when she does she holds her breath for a few moments. But nothing happen, so she removes her shoes and stockings and ties the hem of her dress up high so it won't get wet. The feeling of warm water hitting her toes makes her squeak, but a few seconds later she's plowing into it and starting for the island.]

[There's a moment more of crunching as he finishes off the remains, then finally smirks a little in reply.]

If I was really hungry, you'd know it. It's just better not to waste anything since it can lead to... unwanted attention.
showmeanguish: (No you.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-21 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. You should try it, next time.
showmeanguish: (Good for you I think.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-21 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh. [When it comes down to it, there's a lot of developed, Witch culture he has no idea about.]

Is that why you were after that plant?
showmeanguish: (I can't fake the daytime.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-21 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. [And he thinks for a moment.] Too bad you won't be getting any.
showmeanguish: (Default)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-21 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? How d'you know I don't have my own use for it?
showmeanguish: (You expect me to believe that?)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-22 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Snrk.] Uses other than eating it.
showmeanguish: (Yeah I believe you.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-22 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno what you'd call it. To us, it's for healing.
showmeanguish: (No you.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-23 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Mixed with a kind of clay and applied to wounds. If you don't believe me, I could demonstrate.
showmeanguish: (As if everything black)

[Oh my gods Euri, why would you agree to that. In response, there's a dark smile on his face as he swims up to her again, and puts a hand out.]

The knife.
showmeanguish: (Working on my cardio.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[When she does, he takes it by the handle with one hand. And simultaneously, his other shoots out, grabbing her wrist.

The blade makes a cut against the back of her hand--not deep, but it will probably hurt.]
showmeanguish: (the violence in your heart)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
You asked.

[He swims backward, twirling the knife between his fingers with disturbing ease before he slips further into the water.]

It'll only take a few minutes. Oh, and try to keep your blood out of the water. Unwelcome company and all that. [Then, he's gone again.]
showmeanguish: (Exactly.)

[personal profile] showmeanguish 2012-11-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[It actually takes closer to thirty by the time he shows up again, head popping up out of the water with sudden force. But there's no alarm, he just likes startling her alkjflk.]
