”It’s too cloudy to go to the beach.” Grey mocked aloud as she stepped onto the pier. “It’s Oregon, it’s normally cloudy. Big deal.” She added with a huff, scuffing her shoes along the steps as she bounded down and into the sand.

It was in fact, a cloudy day. But it didn’t keep Grey indoors, she had transferred over to Canby early and only had two classes that were in the morning so it freed up her whole day before everyone else. Not that it mattered, Kisa was training and it was too cold for Shika. Apparently it was for everyone since the beach was desolate and empty, not a person in sight. She came prepared though, she was fortunate enough to have housing on the boardwalk. So being right across from the beach, wasn’t too far to be considered silly to bring her blanket down. Hugging her blanket around her shoulders, she started her lonely stroll on the sand.

Emerson was pretty excited to have a day off from work, even more excited to be able to have the freedom to decide wholly how to spend that day. When he was living at home with his folks, any free time he had was often filled with chores or running errands with his mother, after all, both of his parents had a strong "need" to keep a watchful eye on him given his "disability". Of course, he knew their hearts were in the right place, however, this didn't make it any less overbearing and annoying to him. Which was why he was pleased as peaches to be spending his day on the beach alone and despite what his parents WOULD have told him considering the weather and their inability to "keep an eye on" him.

He was currently crouched down on the beachy sand, scuttling after a crab with a giddy little expression on his face. He'd had seafood before, crab in specific, but this was the first time he'd seen a live crab in the wild.

Grey was gloomy and brooding as she walked along the shore until she saw a family figure a few feet away. She recognized immediately as Emerson, crouched in the sand.

“Hey!” She called, waving before stopping herself. It was going to be a slight adjustment to having a deaf friend. Instead of yelling, she decided to give him a little spook. She walked up behind him, not particularly quiet just because she didn’t need too. Then she leaned down over him, red hair spilling down on both of his shoulders. Grey opted to mouth ‘boo!’ for effect even though he wouldn’t hear it.

Emerson was completely taken by the crab when he happened to feel a gentle tickling at his shoulders, which caused his eyes to widen in a slight scare, even more so when he glanced and noticed the red. He let out a startled sound, unable to hold back, and turned quickly to look at the source. His fright was quickly diminished when he saw Grey hovering over him.

He smiled brightly and waved.

"Hey, Grey." He greeted, signing her name in the one he'd chosen for her since their last meeting, the letter 'G' followed by the sign for cute.

"Hi." She smiled before moving around to sit across from him. She tucked her hair out of her face and under her blanket although several springy tendrils still got loose. "Is that my sign name?" She asked, repeating the gesture she just saw.

Emerson nodded with a cheeky, scrunched up grin.

"G, cute." He said aloud, showing the signs again.

"Awe. That's sweet, thank you." She said, smiling widely. "So what are you doing down here?" She asked.

"I have the day off, I wanted to come to the beach. I never got to come much before." Emerson admitted with a nod. He glanced down for the crab he'd been following before, noticing it was gone now and quickly scuttling for the ocean in escape. He grinned and pointed it out to Grey. "I'd never seen a crab before." He beamed before directing his attention back at her. "What are you doing here? Are you alone?"

“I am, I wanted to come to the beach but no one else wanted to come with me.” Grey explained. “Do you come to the beach often?” She asked then.

"Not before moving out. My dad doesn't like to be outside and my mom said it was too hard to keep an eye on me and my brother." Emerson explained with a face and a shake of his head. "Why didn't your girlfriend want to come with you?" He asked.

“She was busy training, which she normally is.” Grey explained with a shrug. It didn’t really bother her that much, she admired that Kisa worked so hard for the things she wanted. It just meant a lot of alone time for Grey. “Do you still need supervision?” Grey asked with a raised brow but did her best to see the validity in that statement.

"My parents are very protective. They thought I needed a lot of help growing up, but I didn't." Emerson explained, going to flop more comfortably on his butt. "Do you get to spend any time with your girlfriend?" He asked, curious.

Grey offered some of her blanket out to Emerson as he got comfortable sitting with her.

“Sometimes. There are whole days we can spend together, but our normal schedule is like, just meeting up for lunch or dinner. Mostly lunch because she eats dinner early and goes to bed at like, eight thirty.” Grey explained. “How old is your brother?” She asked.

"Irving," Emerson signed the letter I with "smart", "just turned eighteen. We're three years apart." He grinned a dopey big brother sort of grin.
