Chapter 0594
The Oracle and her entourage stayed just off the shores of the beach. I didn't know what they were waiting for.
"She's giving you time," Veronica said. When she realized that could be cryptic, she added, "Likely to get your affairs in order. She wouldn't want to scare Elva."
I could appreciate that. I wanted to talk to Elva myself before the merfolk came onshore. "How will we call them to us?"
"There's a few magic words," Veronica said. "An invitation. When you are ready, I will invite them onshore."
I nodded. I didn't want to keep them waiting for long.
Leaving Nicholas with Veronica, I walked over to where Julian and Elva were working on a new sandcastle. I arrived just as Elva was tearing down whatever she had built. From Julian's expression, I could tell this wasn't the first time she had done this.
*Elva, what was wrong with it this time?" Julian asked, voice gentle and soft.
I decided to stay back a moment. Julian and Elva by now had seemed to develop some kind of sandcastle building rapport. I didn't want to overstep onto that. Julian might be closer to the truth here, than I might be if I stepped in.
"It's not good enough," Elva pouted.
"What makes you think that?" he asked. "I thought it was turning out to be a fine sandcastle."
She shook her head. "It was just a pile of sand..." She glanced behind her to where Bridget's impressive sandcastle loomed.
I wasn't the only one to have noticed.
"Oh," Julian said. "You know, when Bridget first started making sandcastles, she couldn't even get the sand to stick together."
Elva looked at Julian. "Really?"
Julian crossed his heart. "She didn't realize you needed water. Everyone has to start somewhere."
Elva slouched somewhat. "I want to make a castle. But I'm not good enough."
"You need practice. That's all."
Elva shook her head. "I should just quit."
Julian gasped. "You shouldn't!"
