Day 168: Kings of the Sea
Oct. 1st, 2007 08:48 pmIn a comment in response to Divers Excursions and Alarums, Denise said Surely Imrahil would not let King and nephew have all the fun, and would be sporting in the same waters...? Who do you think taught Faramir to dive? *g*
Day 168
as part of the Wild Swan series.
Kings of the Sea
Boromir was already a dim, flickering shadow against the reef's bright colours by the time Imrahil finished repeating to Faramir the advice already given on shore.
Uncle and nephew slipped over the side of the boat, tanned skin sliding into azure shallows. Faramir dived, and Imrahil followed him down, close but not crowding him.
Gliding alongside with slow, powerful kicks, Imrahil touched his nephew's arm and pointed: to anemones opening and closing in the current; gaily striped fish nibbling at coral; a hermit crab scuttling for sanctuary. Faramir turned his head from side to side, grey eyes wide with wonder.
