Description

Lily walked along the beach a frown on her face. She hadn't gotten any good stories today. The one thing she did got made her frown even more. Than day as she stepped onto the beach for the first time in what felt like years she got called a freak for her different colored eyes. She sighed and plopped down and decided to watch as the sun slowly made it's decent. Then she saw another finndyr. He was very simple compared to some of the other finnys that were starting to be born or found. His skin was a light color and his fin looked just red. She studied him closer, he looked like he was also watching the sunset, but he seamed a bit off... Lily carefully got back up and walked towards the finny. His ears perked up as she got closer, but his gaze was fixed on the horizon. 

"Hello?" he asked, "Who's there?" however he still didn't turn to look at the finndyr that was cautiously coming closer. 

Her brow furrowed at this as she stopped few lengths away from him. "Uhhh..." she wasn't sure how to approach this, usually by now they would look at her and she could introduce herself. However the male still gazed out to the sun, but as she looked closer she noticed it seamed like he was looking a little to the side of the sun... as if he was gazing just past it. "Hi." she said

He finally turned to look at her and she was taken aback as he did so. His eyes were so pale. And although his gaze wasn't fixed on her, she still felt like he was starring into her soul. He tipped his head to the side a little and muttered quietly to himself, "That's new." Before he shook his head and cleared his throat, "Hello there. How can I help you?" he asked calmly. 

Lily paused as the feeling he was looking into her being faded. "I kinda just wanted to talk to you." she said not knowing how to go about this. 'Why am I acting like this?' she asked herself, 'He's just another finndyr, and he seams okay.' 

The male chuckled surprised, "Well that's a new one." he said. He then held out a paw in Lily's general direction, "The name is Elsu." He said smiling. 

Lily happily took his paw and shook it, "Lovely name, mine's Lily." she responded. The bow on her leg, which had been slowly coming undone, chose that moment to slide down her leg and bumped into Elsu's paw. 

He jumped slightly and took the ribbon in his other front paw as he sat down. He ran it between his toes. However his gaze remained set on Lily's face. "Ribbon?" he asked, "Is that you collect?" he asked her. 

"No," Lily responded having no comment on the fact that he identified the object without looking at it. "I just have taking a liking to them. They are also good for tying scrolls shut." Elsu let go on her paw and she slid the ribbon back up her leg. 

"Then what do you collect?" he asked. 

As Lily gazed at his face she smiled slightly. He seamed kind, and kind of cute. Lily shook the thoughts out of her head, "I collect stories, phrases, and really anything interesting I can learn about another finndyr." She replied. "What about you?" she asked him looking at his pendant that dangled on his lightly colored chest.

He smiled and responded, "Colors." He knew this would confuse her, even more so if she had figured him out a little.

Lily tipped her head to the side, "Colors?"

Elsu's light eyes headed back out to the horizon. "Yes. I "see" people's colors if I think hard enough," he started using air quotes as he said see. "Then I remember them and my friends help me find them, so I make art from things that make those colors." 

She frowned at the air quotes then it hit her. He had extremely pale eyes, he didn't need to look to see that her ribbon was a ribbon, and how he looked at her but didn't LOOK at her." she couldn't help but gasp at the realization then hit herself in the face. 'STUPID!!' she scolded herself.

Elsu heard her small gasp and was used to this by now and chuckled slightly. "I'm surprised you aren't questioning how I "see" the colors." he said his polite way of saying, 'oh, you've figured it out'. 

Lily blushed, "Yeah." she sighed, "I've kinda had my fair share of strange stories. I kinda just go with everything I hear." she admitted. Elsu smiled as he gazed out at the sun, "But if your blind, why are you starring at the sunset?" she asked as some of the last rays lit up the clouds above.

Elsu shrugged sheepishly, "I honestly don't know." he said, "everyone talked about the beauty of a sunset, and I just keep looking hoping one day I could see it the way everyone else does." he said after a little longer.

Lily frowned and hugged hugged him, "It's okay. I bet you can hear and feel things none of us ever will!!!" she said, trying her best to cheer him up.

Elsu jumped a little as she hugged him. He wasn't expecting this. He stood still a moment. He had hardly ever been hugged before... None of his brothers or sisters ever hugged him, and his father certainly didn't. He then returned the kind gesture and smiled. He liked hugs.
