The Last Pillar.

chapter fifty-eight: Bubble man

Iggy was napping in the sunshine while (y/n) was looking into the one of the tide pools on the beach. She picked up a starfish to look at the little legs and the wriggling body. The girl placed the starfish back into the water before looking at the seaweed. Her little toes dug into the sand as she looked at the wildlife and the water. It was a nice seashore. The child looked to the dock to see the fishermen returning with their catches. It was a pretty morning.
The plum haired pillar child heard her name being called, she looked up to the sidewalk. Avdol was standing on the sidewalk with a suitcase. The Child used her strong legs to jump up onto the sidewalk in front of the Egyptian. "Are you going home now, Avdol?," the little girl asked. "Yes, I am. I just wanted to say goodbye before I left.," the Dark skinned man answered and knelt to the girl's height. He got her tiny arms around his neck. "Be safe on the journey home, Avdol. Until we meet again.," the little girl spoke with a small smile.

Avdol gave her a smile and hugged her back, "Until we meet again." They let go of each other and Avdol left with a wave. (Y/n) waved then stopped when she no longer saw him. The child returned to the seashore to keep playing with the things she found there. She understood why Jotaro liked it. There were so many interesting small creatures in the tide pools. She kept playing and exploring the tide pools until she saw the tide come in, she was almost hit with a wave. She squealed as she jumped out of the way of the kelp filled wave.
Iggy lifted his head up to see what was going on. He barked at the little girl. "Sorry I woke you, Iggy.," the child apologized to the dog and sat beside the canine on the bench that looked over the area. Iggy laid his head back down and yawned. He had to feel sleepy from the warm sun. The child petted the dog. His fur was smooth under her little fingers, he felt warm from the sun. The warmth that her father had only felt once. His mind was growing dimmer. He was losing himself in his isolation. She wished that he would come back in some form.

The little girl's red eyes lifted to look at the skies, the great expanse of blue was dotted with white fluffy clouds. She had been in this town for a few months now. It was almost summer vacation time for tourists to come. The little girl smiled. Humans were so interesting. Her skin grew hot as she started to burn. She covered herself with her cloak and hopped off of the bench. A small sigh escaped from her small lips. It was fun to play at the seaside. But it was time for her to move somewhere with not as much sun. She hopped off of the bench and tapped Iggy, "Time to go. Want to go to a cafe or something?"
The dog stretched and yawned before getting up. He gave her a doggy grin as he got of of the bench. "We can stop by a cafe to get something to eat. I hope there are pet friendly places nearby. Although, all places are pet friendly for me.," the girl chuckled with her little hand over her sharp grin. Iggy gave her a bark and started walking. "I'm coming.," the girl said and walked with the dog to the business section. The smell of necrotic flesh and death his her nose as she passed by a businessman in a custom suit. Their eyes met for a second. She was scared that he saw her horns and quickly looked away, she sped her pace up a little.

She stopped when she was no longer near that human. He smelled like death. Iggy nudged her leg with his cold nose and gave her a wag of his tail. "I'm okay, Iggy. Just a little paranoid about my horns.," the little girl whined and rubbed the silvery horns with a clawed finger. Iggy looked up at the girl before looking around and sniffing the air. The child could not help but to smile, "Of course, you want lunch." She followed the dog and looked at the people that they were passing by. Humans. Humans Goin about their days. In the sea of these humans, she was the only one that would still be standing after another hundred years. Iggy barked at her and got her attention away from her thoughts.
The two walked together to the business section. Iggy kept sniffing the air to look for the scents he wanted. He found one and barked to the little girl. "Hm? Did you decide what you want?," (y/n) inquired. The little dog barked and wagged his tail with a doggy grin on his face. The little girl smiled back, "I'll take that as a yes." The plum haired pillar child walked with Iggy before finding an artisan food shop. There was fresh baked goods and sandwiches. The smell of cooked meat wafted through the doors. She looked at the dog, "Let me guess. You want a beef sandwich." The Boston terrier made a cackling noise.
