Hello!

If you haven't met me yet, I'm Calia.

This might come as something of an odd question but are there any bodies of water or anything of the sort available for swimming? Maybe?

I've been missing my home and just getting the chance to swim again would be quite nice.

I'd go and look for that on my own but I don't think it's wise for me to head out on my own, given my situation.

[ There's barely even a few seconds after he speaks that she started to head over towards him, gaze landing on the shovel with her eyes going quite big.

Calia hurried over so quickly she nearly tripped over her own feet, practically seeming to sparkle with awe as she began inspecting the shovel. It was such an unusual shape and she'd never really seen anything like this before, though a part of it was made of metal like the anchors that sat on the sea floor.

She even leant in and knocked lightly against the metal part, pleased at the noise it made. While it was mundane to everyone else? This was quite fascinating to her. ]

[ ...it's impossible not to smile at that, the curiosity and wonderment that people too often lose, too early. Minato taps on the metal too- near the tip, closer to the base, places in between- it's not exactly music, but the different sounds have a charm of their own, coming together like then random notes of a windchime.

Maybe he should get Jack Frost a shovel. ]

It's kinda heavy, but why don't you hold onto it for now? We can check the well first.

[ No need to dirty the shovel, that's plan B ]

[ The almost melodic sounds it made were MORE than satisfactory to her and she couldn't help but make mental notes, and it was clear that if she could speak? She would have been humming along absently to a tune she'd made up to go along with the notes.

For now, Calia just nodded and reached out to carefully take it in both hands. As he had stated, it was a bit heavy but nothing she couldn't handle for the time being. The look on her face was clear.

Lead the way! ]
