Iolite spun around as they sat on the ocean... That is, they sat on a plate of ice he had created, that was on the water. Their little saucer of frozen water followed the pull and push of ocean, putting them docked on the sand at some points. The weather was okay, with a light breeze with the sun out. Iolite's long, messy hair spread out in the green water, swaying. Their light house base was just a bit away from them, but was shrinking as they were pulled further away from the shore. Not to worry though, because in this boring loop, they'd end up right back where they started... More or less.
They kept their half closed eyes locked in front of him, watching nothing in particular. There was no point in trying to watch a certain spot, due to the slow spin of the cold platform. Needless to say, Iolite was bored, but not ready to act on it. They never did. They waited until something happened to them. And something did. Not for a while though. For about an hour, they continued to float in the sea. Every once in a while they would weakly splash at a bird, or poke down at a fish. After that hour though, they spotted a shadowy figure near the town.
At first they assumed it was their partner coming back to the base, so they didn't think twice about. They let the ice circle a couple more times, before seeing the figure a bit closer. They stopped the ice pad as best they could and slowly began putting up a hand for a wave. Now, Iolite wouldn't admit it, but he was hurt when they didn't wave back... But it was understandable because it wasn't even their partner. Upon squinting and further investigation, they realized the person had a different outline and they could just feel they had a different attitude. They reeled their hand back, paddling the ice back against shore. Slowly, they stepped onto the sand and stood up, facing the direction of the other person. They cleared their throat, awkwardly letting out a pretty loud, "Uh?"
