Zerik stood on the deck of the old ship, the smell of the docks deep in his nostrils. The sea beyond the ship was dark and silent, seeming at ease with the world at the moment, which caused a similiar sense of ease to take hold of him and ease his troubled mind.
He and Rowan had just arrived to the city and already his nerves were telling him to set out once again. It was only Rowan that kept his feet rooted at the moment.
He knew that the boy hated constantly moving from one place to another. But the boy also understood why Zerik must leave, and tried to be as strong as his young mind would let him.
Turning away from the sea he caught sight of a shady male form moving along the warehouses below.
Zerik supposed he could have chosen a better place to stay rather than the gang filled shipyard, but he needed the comfort of the sea at the moment, and he was sure that he would be able to protect Rowan if anything were to happen.

Gwenifer walked through the warehouses and along the docks like a phantom. The light sea breeze teased her dyed hair, moving it across her face, the one part of her body that wasn't covered. Despite being all covered up the air near the water was still chilly and she had to rub her arms for warmth.
The only sound from her the squeaking of the wooden dock the Seer walked to the edge and sat down, dangling her legs over the cold water. Her milky eyes look over her surroundings. A ship nearby and the warehouses seemed to be her only companions for the night. She smiled a ghost of a smile and pulled her legs back onto the dock,moving around so that she was laying on her stomach. The carefully removed the glove from one of her hands and reached down, her fingertips breaking the still water. She relaxed at the feeling.

Rowan peeked his dark little head around the ship, catching sight of Zerik up on deck of the ship he held hsi breath before running for the nearest warehouse, his back resting against it's surface and his head peeking once agian around the corner to see if he was caught.
He wasn't. Giving a michevious smile he ran for another warehouse, making his way swiftly in the shadows.
He had gotten so bored in the old ship, and needed to have a little fun before the sun rose.
Thinking he was a safe distance from the ship he had called home for the past few days Rowan walked from along the warehouse's to the docks, his footsteps carrying him to the edge and staring out at the water beyond.
With a smile of glee he grabbed a little toy boat from his pocket, attatched to a string, and threw the plastic toy into the waters, watching it bob to surface and float.
Walking along the docks he pulled it behind him with the string, humming as he went. Glancing up he paused as he caught sight of someone in the distance, laying on the dock's edge with they're hand in the water.
Pulling in his little toy he grabbed it and ran silently to the dark shadows of the warehouse, walking until he was directly behind the dock the girl was laying on.

Gwen sensed someone nearby but knew that it was a young child, nothing to be concerned about. The young woman ignored the kid, focusing on the feeling of the water around her hand. Water had no past so it was safe to touch. One of the few things the girl was lucky enough to be able to feel. She wished she could store the feeling of water in her mind forever, like everything she saw was stored. Gwen knew that that this memory would soon slip from her mind, leaving her as empty as she had been before, which was why she treasured the days she could make it to the beach or to the docks. The eyes of a kid were not enough to take away from her moment.

Rowan frowned before comming out of the shadows and standing on the dock. "What are you doing?"

"Touching the water." she responded, keeping her voice soft and pleasant. "Shouldn't you be in a bed somewhere asleep?" Gwen didn't turn the face the boy, afraid that would encourage him to come closer. She didn't need any complications.

Rowan grinned sheepishly and came to sit indian style a few feet away from her. "Sometimes. It all depends on what day it is. Sometimes I stay up all night until the sun comes up. Those are the most boreing. Like tonight. I can't sleep." He said with a pout. "What about you? What are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to relax. So when you can't sleep your guardian just lets you wander around the gang infested shipyards and docks?" she asked curiously. She leaned over more, completely submerging her hand in the sea. Gwen really hoped that whoever was in charge of the kid was on their way to get him. She didn't want to be held responsible for anything that happened to him.

Rowan grinned mechiviously. "He doesn't know I snuck away. But I'm pretty sure it won't take him long to find out. He always finds me soon after I leave. Do you live around here?" He asked curiously, scooting a little closer to her and looking at her hair.

"I live in the city." Gwen pushed him back gently with her foot. "Personal space. So is this 'he' that's going to be coming to get you your brother or someone else?" She worked hard to keep the bitterness out of her voice.

Rowan pouted when she scooted him away but smilled almost instantly again. "Why is your hair two different colors?" He asked instead.

"Because I like it that way. Why isn't your hair two different colors?" she asked, kindly teasing. Gwen sat up and unwillingly wiped the water off her hand with her shirt then put her glove back on. She turned around to look at him.

Rowan smilled up at her. "I don't think my brother would let me. But I think your's is pretty." He glanced down at her gloves. "Are you cold?"

She smiled at his compliment. "I'm sick." she lied effortlessly. "So I need to keep bundled up so I don't get sicker."

"You shouldn't be outside if your sick!" Rowan said in a scalding tone. "I'm Rowan, what's your name?"
