[Getting out around the coast of England is nice, really, especially during that one week of summer where it's warm. As much as Terry likes the booming pace of school and that 'other life', as his Mum called it, there was a kind of slowness to being in the village he'd grown up in, surrounded by men and women who had humdrum jobs that just... was revitalizing?

There was a sort of magic to boring situations that it took a sharp eye and tired person to see. It was like how elderly people could sort of look at things; old photos, old desks, old broken toys; and see something else in them, that made their eyes dance. Like they were viewing a thousand memories, or secrets and the boredom was really all right because life couldn't possibly be boring when every bit of it had so many moments soaked in.

That's why he liked the pier. Imagining the ships, the fishermen, the old seafarer's stories.

He had his legs hanging over the pier, toes just barely brushing the water, trouser legs rolled up.

Just bloody perfect, really.]

[ Elizabeth had different reasons for loving piers. It wasn't necessarily a love either. She stepped into worlds through doors and Lighthouses. Every world was different from one another but some things always stayed the same. Constants and variables.

She walked down to the edge of the pier, her blue skirt with white frills brushing the top of her ankle boots as she moved. She was no longer the innocent girl stuck in the tower in the city in the clouds. Now, she was a hardened woman who was had seen the worst in people.

Elizabeth came to a stop and simply crossed her arms at the end of the pier. Her eyes were on the lighthouse that would take her from the world she was traveling through. It seemed normal... but somewhere? Somewhere was the corrupted city led by a man, and a lighthouse, and the man that would come to stop the corruption. It was a constant through time and space. ]
