Alysia frowned as she followed is gaze out to the water its slow change from shallows to deeper, darker and apparently dangerous waters.  She raised an eyebrow as she pondered a fish as big as a tree with fangs but shrugged, her armor protesting only slightly in the motion.  "Well I have no intention to try to go back out there.  Now... darker huh..." Alysia's frown deepened as she looked west down the beach.  "just how much darker Rud?" and then she caught herself.  'Does it really matter right now?' she scolded herself internally and slowly turned her frown into a smile.  "Rud, never mind that question.  Are you friends with any on the island besides your own?"<br/><br/>Alysia sighed softly wondering just why she was here an more important how to show the patience she knew was her private challenge and still be true to her heart.
