Mother-Daughter bonding day
Teresa
Finally having a free day from working on the next mural she'd started to paint on a bedroom wall out of sheer boredom since the first coat of paint needed to dry before the details got rough sketched in, Noelle spent the first few hours after sunrise assembling the largest basket she had with both a bottle of cider and a lighter wine. Containers were packed of both roasted salmon with a mixed vegetable salad, steak sliced thin and piled onto layers of potatoes with a vaguely spicy cream sauce in between, and a container of peach cobbler with vanilla sauce floated over the top. Once she reached a good spot for the picnic where the women would be able to sit under the umbrella she'd plopped in the sand on top of the comfortably thick blanket, shoes were kicked off and the water of the shoreline was waded into. 

Cupping the water and literally calling to Amphitrite with breath ruffling over the surface of the salt laden water before letting it slowly trickle back into the waves splashing over her feet, she knew it was the way her mother would immediately come to her if she was free. Noelle smiled softly at the tiny fish flitting around her ankles before walking back over to perch at the picnic set up and wait. The more mundane method of a text was shot off for Esmeray, wishing for her sister to join in on the day too. ||

***Amphitrite had been spending her morning swimming along the coasts. Though she had her own duties to attend to in Atlantis, she often took her time to venture outside of it. Reason being to help the other sea life, as mortals often held them in little regard. There had always been problems with the poor creatures getting stuck in plastics and having their homes ruined, and the sea queen tried to mitigate these circumstances. It was no easy feat, but she always had the job done in no time. She cared too much for the marine life to let it slide past her gaze. It just so happened she came across a sea turtle, with a fisherman's hook and line wrapped around its left fin. Amphitrite spoke soothingly to the turtle, all while she did her best to free her from the line she was caught in. Once she freed the turtle, she summoned her dolphins to escort it back to Atlantis. She wasn't too experienced in veterinary practices, but there were others back home who could help the poor sea turtle be nursed back to health. The sea queen went about her swimming after this ordeal, that is until she heard the familiar voice calling her name.***

***Once upon a time, Poseidon had once again cheated on Amphitrite with yet another mortal. She did the same as she always did when this happened, retaliated against him. Though she may be as calm as the waters, there was no limit to her retaliations and petty behavior against her husband. She felt if he could do it, then so could she. She could calm him yes, but she wasn't one to cower before him. She would match the energy he gave her. That is exactly what she did too, she found herself a mortal to lay with behind his back. Just as he did to her. The sea goddess was often careful, but her anger had overshadowed rational thought. It was after she laid with the mortal she had a demigod daughter, one she named Noelle. Poseidon was far from happy, and wished nothing to do with the child. Whereas Amphitrite wanted everything to do with her daughter. From the time Noelle was born, she saw that she would be a spitting image of herself in temperament. She did her best to raise her, leaving her in the care of others when she couldn't be around. But Amphi made sure she was present in her life as much as possible.***

***The voice she heard was none other than Noelle's. As taught from a young age, all she needed to do was call for her from the water. Smiling to herself, Amphitrite swam as quick as she could towards the echoes of her voice. Soon enough, the sea queen emerged from the water. Bare feet digging in the sand as she walked up to the coast, seeing her beloved daughter sitting on a blanket and waiting her arrival. Amphi walked up to the little picnic she had set up, taking a seat and hugging Noelle gently.*** "My beautiful daughter, it is good to see you again. I trust you have been doing well?" ***She asked with a soft smile, sea blue eyes looking at the little set up now.*** "This is a lovely little set up, are we to be having a picnic together?"
