Wood creaked faintly, a knocking in rhythmic counterpoint to the endless wet splish, splish of water.

Her thighs felt pleasantly baked.

Wood creaked. Water splashed. She squinted into the distance to shut out some of the ruthless reflecting sun on the waves. A seagull cried, then squawked in surprise and was gone in a rush of outraged feathers, leaving a dripping wet young man in its place on the dock.

Yatsuha tipped her woven grass hat up to regard him while she licked salt off her lips. "You're early," she said, affecting mild interest, and a curious smile. Mugen uttered a faint obscenity, and glared.
