"I already told you to get lost. Go on, go," Billie is telling a gaggle of children for what she thinks is, perhaps, the fourth time. They've been rushing around the marketplace, foisting flower crowns they've made off on people. It's all in good fun, sure, and Billie can vaguely recall doing about the same thing at that age, albeit it was more a reason to get close and pick a pocket but—
Well, they haven't picked hers yet and they don't look like street urchins, so, that's probably not it. They don't relent and the littlest one — a mouse-like kid — takes her turn to hold the flowers out to her. It's harder to say no to the big sad eyes of a rodent, which means Billie is left holding a flower crown made up of various blue and yellow flowers as the children race off again in triumph. Grand. At least they won't clash with her current outfit, one that leans more towards greens and greys to fit into the general dockworker populace.
Perched up on the stall Billie had been cornered at, a black-and-white feathered tern makes short little seabird noises that aren't terribly far off from laughing at her. She rolls her eyes and looks up towards the bird.
"Oh, stuff it."
[ friend or foe — didymos ]
Her time in Didymos inevitably had her taking to the seaside part of the city, ever drawn to the bustle and noise of the ships coming and going. That makes it inevitable that Billie signs on to help with the ships going out to try and find the merfolk, if only because it combines some of her favorite things — being on a boat and, of course, merfolk. Her old crew never had too many dealings with them but the handful they did always left her curious about them and, as ever, curiosity drives her to tag along.
The Perspective already has a regular crew, leaving Billie time to poke around the ship and then, as they pass out of the bay and into the Glass Sea, she can be found taking up a decent spot along the side to watch the waters. It won't be much longer until they reach Logistykon's reef but she's not looking ahead, towards that. Instead, she's looking back behind them, keeping an eye on a lone merperson that looks to be following them.
