Dream.

There is a great sea. The sky is grey, the water green, and the seafoam is the flecked white of milk on the turn. The shore is stone and shingle, and the cliffs are bone-shades. Will you wake on the little fishing boat that rides the waves, wary of great beasts that lurk beneath the surface, or on the cold and stony shore? Or perhaps as some watery thing yourself, breathing in water as cold as ice and with a salt-iron taste like blood?

I nod at what she says.

"I'm Kate," I say. "Do you have a name?" I watch her wrap her seal skin round her, and it reminds me how cold I am. "I wonder if those people know if there's a village nearby," I say, looking down the shore. "Maybe they know where we are. Do you want to come with me to ask them?"

"I'm Kate. Do you have a name?"

"Syl," I says after a minute. Know'it like I knew t'peel off m'skin. "Good t'meet ya, Kate." See'er eyes wand'rin' over t'a group'a people, standin't th'water's edge.

"I wonder if those people know if there's a village nearby. Maybe they know where we are. Do you want to come with me to ask them?"

I hes'tate a minute, an'en nod. 'ere's an instinct't makes me nervous, 't makes me check t'be sure't m'skin's wrapped tight, 'at't can't be pulled 'way're torn. But I do wanna know what's goin' on, where we are...an' why I got th'feelin' we's s'posed t'be doin' somethin'.

"Yeah." I says. "Le's go see what's up."

"Good to meet you too," I say, and we walk (http://community.livejournal.com/estdeus_innobis/405311.html?thread=10279231#t10279231).
