tales of an endless heart💙

Rosetta waved her hand. She loved joining her friends out for their hobbies, she really did, but seeing Sylvie without shoes and in cold water did not make her want to do the same thing. “You go on ahead and do your thing, sweetie! I am here for morale support!” She leaned back into the beach chair she brought with herself so she didn’t have to sit on the ground. “I just got a new romance book! So take your time!”

Sylvie frowned, but it was more of a pout than anything. “Oh c’mon Rosetta, afraid of a little water?” She chimed teasingly, bending over again to pluck out another rock that had caught her eye. This was the closest Sylvie could get to feeling like being home again. “You could find some really pretty rocks to put in your garden.~” Sylvie mused again, but she wouldn’t be heartbroken if Rose decided not to join. “But if you’re gonna’ stay all the way over there, you have to at least tell me about the plot of your book.”

Louie was almost shocked that someone had so easily done something that wasn’t part of the norm for everyone else, slightly pleased that it was done in front of him. Made him feel like he was special enough to share something like that a thing he didn’t always feel, being deemed the trouble maker of the family. Feeling the pleasant touch of rain falling on him as the air seemed to shift all over once more made him sigh peacefully, falling back onto the wet grass with a splash. 

“Wow. You’re like your own personal cloud of rain whenever you want it,” he whispered in awe, “People that complain about rain don’t realize just how much it’s actually needed! Ever seen a field after a rain? It flourishes.”

Sylvie wasn’t sure why she became so nervous all of the sudden. Her cheeks flushing a pinky shade once her eyes settled on his expression. This wasn’t like her; to use her magic in front of strangers so recklessly. However, he had this sense of wonder about him. Maybe, he was trust worthy. Luckily she hadn’t had her wings out, didn’t want to frighten him too terribly.

“Something like that. If you think that’s cool you should’ve seen me back home-” Sylvie paused, the familiar ache pounded against her ribcage. Home. Taking in small breath she did her best to shove those feelings back down. Inching closer to take a seat beside him the wet grass. “I like the way you think, and ooh! Who could forget the rainbows that form after every storm?” She exclaimed excitedly as she looked over her shoulder at him. “I’m Sylvie, by the way.”

Gazing up at the face that blocked the light beginning to filter in through the canopy of trees, and almost pout breaking across his lips. “Who made the rain stop? Was it you?” Louie wondered out loud, sitting up with his feet just lightly kicking across the water creating waves. He’d been so at peace for just a moment, lost in the blissful silence and no thoughts across his head. “I don’t think rain could ever rain on my parade. If anything it’d make it even better, every single time.”

Vidia wasn’t entirely sure what brought her close to the river, she’d blame the breeze - something she often found herself following ( and sometimes creating ) without realizing and it’d brought her to the edge where Sylvie could be seen. “That and why on earth would I ever go into the river?” She came to a stop, eyebrows lifting slightly as she gave the body of water a disgusted look. “What are you even doing in there? Looking for a purpose?” 

“Why not? Afraid to be a little bit spontaneous every now and then hmm?” Sylvie challenged with an ever growing grin. Of course it had to be Vidia that stumbled upon her sacred past time. Preparing herself mentally for whatever the fairy threw her way. “Vidia please, I’m looking for a rock to add to my collection. If you’re determined to ruin my day please bother someone's else’s lily pad.”

Sylvie was knee deep and barefoot in cold water, trying to find a certain rock that escaped her field of vision. She didn’t mind the intense cold though, it was like playing a sort of game. All she knew was that it would make a good piece for her collection, and the fact that she was too stubborn to give up. The water fairy didn’t expect anyone to find her considering how far the river was from the main town, but she flashed a friendly smile anyway. “I’d ask you to join me, but to be honest it’s a tad bit cold.”
