[P] dance with the waves

[Charlotte]

it's time to
make a move

She has to hold back an eye roll when the kid says that she has never seen Charlie around before. Like she’s been around that long. Like she’s not barely a season out of being born, if that. “Maybe you’ve been looking in the wrong places,” is all she says, with no indication of what that could mean.

When she starts talking about tagging along, that is where the pegasus draws the line. “Dangerous for you, maybe. Nothing is dangerous for me,” Charlie quips quickly, “Besides, I work alone.” Other than Indy, of course, but she does not want some spring lamb ruining her day.

Thank whatever gods are still out there when the kid’s mother calls out for her. Charlie watches the filly run off and shakes her head. I sure hope not, she thinks, as she finally makes her way—alone—to the docks.
