"Hear the kid goes again. Always talking like he owns the place, doesn't even learn to be a better fisherman though." The man scoffs, ready to ignore the younger man and his group to continue drinking on his own. Though the younger group was in themselves a rowdy bunch.
They took to different sides of the bar, it's clear to see that they clash so often that it's all become habit now. The two were at odds but Lumikki wondered if she could entice the younger bunch to take her to the waters.
Before she could actually walk over to the group, a kid came bursting through the doors. Speaking that he needed help, his brother insisted on going into the waters despite the warnings of the sea monsters. He and his crew already set off on their boat. The boy was hysterically crying at this point, pleading with anyone to hear him out to make sure his brother got back. The old men kept quiet, knowing that they had no intention of going. Their time may be nearing but they weren't going to let it claim them any sooner. But what actually surprised her was even the younger batch was quiet too. Lumikki was annoyed at how boisterous they were but when the excuse came, they were just as silent. At least the older men were consistent in their intentions.
"Lad, how big is the boat, how many is the crew? I need ye to calm down now and help me help him." Lumikki got off and walked to the boy, still too busy recovering from his tears to answer her right away. But he started walking to the docks with her all the same.
The bar looked at the girl crazy thinking she was too small and foolish to take the best on, but as soon as she left, so did her comfortable chill and they were reminded of the power she held.
The boy told her all she had required on the walk down and pointed her toward the ship. "But ma'am, how are you going to reach his boat if no one else is willing to take you there?" He was genuinely confused. She looked over to him and winked before bringing out her six wings. She ran into the water, her foot freezing the water's surface before she took in a solid gust and took off. The child was left speechless as he watch, him and all who had looked on.
