                           ❛   Amelia… Of Scotland        are you a princess, Yuliya? ❜

               ‘ get your mind out of the gutter. that’s not what i meant. try not to look so intrigued. ’ still, a grin flickers across his features.

     ❝ Your paramour is a BEAST that  C   A  M E          out of the sea      all been there, am I right. ❞ 

  [ Her voice has a bone dry bonhomie to counteracting the shoving hands.   Meg’s pace accepted no waits, no BUTS. Nothing that would anchor   them to what would soon become DOOMED ground. At their backs the   kelpie’s head was subsumed and the ocean churned, spitting up white   foam as it                          A     T      E                                                       its way                                                                            inland. ] 

                       ❝ And the sea isn’t exactly HAPPY about how                             he’s come back to it in two pieces..❞ 

               It took moments, long and chaotic, for the girl to fully process what this strange woman was suggesting. How could it be? Suddenly all stories and sayings and everything else her Nurse had ever said came back to Yuliya     she had dismissed them all time ago, and now? Now her mind was too confused at hapenings of past several minutes. Had it not been for the stranger, Yuliya would stop to be swallowed by the sea surely.

                ❝ When the time comes, father will make that decision for me. ❞ Leila stiffened. She did not think to dwell on the possibilities of true love, or never ending affections. Destined from birth to marry into wealth and royalty, such as how she was born, meant she had sacrificed all decisions of her own. She was an empty shell, a pretty girl with a sweet smile and gentle hands. There need be nothing beneath the surface a husband would not desire. ❝ You know how these things work. ❞

                    ❛  yes, you DEFINITELY can.             what’s your name again?  ❜

               ‘ why, i’m wounded. i’ll have you know most of my inventions are largely a result of my inability to sleep. you might say that evening gives me quite an active imagination. ’
