YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Rachel sighed, her back against the cold wall of the cave she was currently hidden inside of. She watched the waves, her eyes trailing the clouds drifting ahead and listening to the rustling of leaves. She took a seashell into her hands, glancing over at Uzuri with a quiet smile. She took her piercing needle, made of fishbone, and began working on her newest necklace. She had to fulfill several orders by tomorrow.

[Stario&Co.]

Uzuri was laying her stomach in the sand, her feet kicking the air. She had grabbed a stick and began doodling in the sand. She could feel the sand sticking to her skin and clothes, but didn't mind. Her mother never let her get dirty. She hummed quietly to herself, her tongue sticking out of her mouth slightly as she concentrated on her drawing.

"I've been staring at the edge of the water
'Long as I can remember, never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water, no matter how hard I try." Rachel sang out, threading a cord through the pale pink shell and beginning to thread beads onto it. Her ocean blue eyes were focused on the sea, her dark olive skin shining softly in the dim light and her bronze hair fluttering briefly in the breeze.

"Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
To the place I know, where I cannot go
Where I long to be..." He voice softened, and she held up the necklace before sighing and placing it on the pile. Her eyes settled onto the sunset.

"See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me." She pointed to the horizon, longing in her eyes.

"And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, if I go there's just no telling how far I'll go."

I" know, everybody on this island seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know, everybody on this island has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine

I can lead with pride, I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?

See the light as it shines on the sea? It's blinding
But no one knows, how deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me, so come find me
And let me know, what's beyond that line, will I cross that line?

See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
And no one knows, how far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know, how far I'll go!"

"Rachel!" Uzuri laughed, scrambling to her feet. She wasn't wearing sandals, and her feet sunk into the sand. "You think today's the day? How about it?" She smiled determinedly "Maybe we can actually go out into the ocean!"

[red_inactive]

Rachel grinned. "Tonight, we'll get the boat out." She glared at the necklaces. "Might as well sell these today so we can get the supplies."

[Stario&Co.]

"I hope Cheif Akoni won't be mad," Uzuri said thoughtfully, their caretaker running through her mind. "We've never disobeyed him like this before."

[red_inactive]

"He won't be mad..." Rachel took the necklaces into the basket. "He'll likely be furious. He forbids us to go..." She scowled. "Even though he doesn't care for us anymore." She smoothed her hair out, letting her face relax into a peaceful smile. "I'll be back soon."

(Timeskip to night?)
