Are we falling like snow at the beach? Weird, but so damn beautiful.

Rosaline was too quick to observe Kaito’s reaction. She caught the arched eyebrow and how his gaze looked her over just a bit differently than before. It was how Cathy had looked at her when they first met. And Pete. Rosaline still wanted to wrap her hands around his throat.

Her eyes narrowed slightly and looked up at Jacob. The man recognized that he’d messed up and pulled up a chair to sit down at their table, slightly closer to Rosaline than Kaito. “Sorry, Ros,” he murmured. Though he didn’t touch her. Not unless she instigated it. Rosaline wasn’t a very touchy-feely person. She preferred solace in the form of favors and company.

She looked back over as Kaito started talking again. He might mean it now, but wait until he knew the whole story, and not just the rumors flying around. Courtesy of Cathy.

Rosaline was grateful for the change in topic, and as she relaxed more, her hand slipped into Jacob’s knee, and her thumb rubbed over a frayed spot in his jeans. He grinned subtly and accepted the gesture while she listened.

“That’s fascinating,” Rosaline murmured. “You must travel very often then. Do you only go to places near the coast?”

Kaito reached forward and grabbed at the empty cup of coffee that now sat in front of him, tracing the rim with his forefinger. Maybe he should get another damn coffee. Even though he loved people - to an extent - they were often hard to interact with. There were very few who knew about who he really was, and those who did were other reincarnations of Gods that had long since passed. The Earth was a far different place now than what his ancestors had once walked, and so he had to be careful.

There were only three people like him. That he knew of. Kaito hadn't seen them in a while, either. Maybe it was why he busied himself in his work trying to help the oceans rather than meeting new people. It only reminded him of his friends, his true friends, that he never got to see. Well, barely got to see. Aurelia was always wherever the sun shone the brightest and Ilias didn't like people much to begin with so meeting up with the other two Gods was a challenge. Either way, he wasn't about to risk someone knowing his secret and spreading it, not when word was quick to spread on the Isle.

"I do, yes," He said, looking up from his cup to Rosaline, "My work revolves around the sea, why would I bother going inland?" Kaito cracked his signature grin, though there was something behind his eyes that didn't quite match the look he was giving.
