chest and heart still drowning in pride, stella's lavender gaze never left the faces of the crewmates idly watching on, as if it were a dire challenge to her very integrity. chipping away at the fears lain so shallowly beneath thin skin, eventually the pressure of the confounded stares grew to a breaking point in which stella was the one to back down. for the best really. the cloaked child scurried away within her sterile white cocoon, shifting every so slowly towards her pater like a moth drawn to the light - safety. lavender hues darted from outside of the silky shield, darting along the shores and fixating on her brother and sister now being swallowed by the ocean. jealously stella stared on as the pair bumbled their way through the sea's bank, wishing that she too could muster the courage to frolic in the beauty of nature. glancing up to eris, stella noticed the boy's call to his two other sisters with sheer excitement brimming at the tops of his tone and overflowing into his words and subsequent joyous actions. drawing strength from the humbling thought that as a child of their loved parents, stella do anything she wanted, the ragdoll made her way down the sandy bay's length once more to slot alongside eris and his descent to the water's embrace.

liberating had been the feeling that stella had been anticipating to embrace when the water finally touched her skin, but an overwhelming sense of cold vulnerability soon washed over those high hopes and made stella inwardly cringe at the foreign feeling. how did something that shined and shimmered in the presence of the sun so beautifully, have a temperature stella feared would freeze her inner core? it made no sense. yet as the child ventured deeper into the depths of the bay's treasure, cloak and all, stella felt a weight building upon her and gently letting her know - time to return. maybe swimming would be a lesson learnt another day.

suddenly spurred on by a fleeting thought of amusement, the child collected some of the chilling water into her mouth devilishly plotting what to do with said water. moving along the banks of the ocean once more - dripping from head to toe with a cloak now completely soaked - stella raced up to beside her pater once more as if to rejoice in his gentle presence, but lavender eyes did not fixate on his taller frame. instead, they traced the sight of stella's sister who was the only child yet to not embrace the over-sized pool before them. trying to projectile squirt the collected water from her mouth at the form of priscilla, stella hoped to drench the other child as best as she could. bemused by the thought of the act.
