time for a round friend.
she’s a sea nymph named Beacon and she was born from a pearl the lighthouse keeper coughed up one day (one of the local sea god's many illegitimate children). she's good at warding off hypothermia and leading ships to safe harbor so she's made a little bit of a name for herself but mostly she likes to hang out on the shore and do whatever.
here she is doing ceremony stuff and Observing Crab.

Teacups
"I... I saw your light," the sea nymph said to the lighthouse keeper, "and I happened to pop by a bookstore, earlier this evening, about twilight," she rambled. "I picked up a book. Two, actually. But it's a bit dark to read out in the waters this late at night."
The lighthouse keeper, an ocean witch, smiled and invited her in. "I am glad you came by. I have two tea cups, but if I don't use them both, they get terribly dusty from time to time."
Quietly, as she stepped into the cozy room, the sea nymph agreed, "Dreadful thing, that, a teacup handle unhandled."
It began to rain.
A pattering, rhythmic, late summer rain, an early autumn rain, the kind that unfolds over the course of an evening.
