Nill tends to her sand church even as James returns to the blanket. She adds a mini-Nill and Haine, Badou and Bishop. They’re all nothing more than smaller lumps of sand beside the bigger lump.
Eventually the waves draw closer and closer, flooding the sand church and drowning the sand people. She lifts her dress slightly before standing to avoid the incoming water. The girl stands over the sand church, watching it until it’s completely gone.
After glancing back to make sure James is alright, Nill heads out into the water, smiling to herself as her feet sink slightly into the sand, and the water comes up higher. Something in the water catches her eye, Nill leaning over to inspect. A long fish swims through her legs and back around again. Her hands hover just above the water, following its movements.
Several futile attempts later, Nill’s attempts to catch the fish end with her tumbling head first into the water. She seems more upset about not being able to catch the fish than anything else, Nill trudging out of the water soaking wet. She rejoins James at the blanket, assuming that he’s fallen asleep as she removes her dress.
The dress is laid out carefully on the sand in hopes of drying it, Nill left in an only slightly less soaked cream colored slip. She flops down next to him on the blanket, stretching out happily in the sun.
