It's so quick coming in, waves and gears all running together like strings and brass in music, forward and forward and the blurred shadow of the boat rises to meet us, running quick and ragged across the stones of the sea.

"Excuse me! (http://community.livejournal.com/estdeus_innobis/405311.html?thread=10254143#t10302527)" I sing out as we're closer. "Are you alright, what happened, what did it want?" Hopping out of the boat and drawing her up and that grounds me for a minute, makes the moving slower, but then I'm hurrying again, up to meet them.
