[ The only reason Julie never moved to the coast when she was a mortal was because the others — Ciri included — didn't. And that love of the beach is still very clear in the way she's crafted this piece of the Horizon. While there are whimsical, surreal touches to the fields and the house, the coast remains hyper-realistic, right down to the tiny crabs peeking up through the grains of sand. They'll pinch toes that get too close. She loves the real beach so much that she doesn't see the need to do anything except duplicate it.
(Well, there is the little fish town she put under a cove; a rock and a statue and a pineapple for them to live in. She vaguely recalls the impulse to put it there — she doesn't know why, but she thought it was funny.)
Joined by her unicorn and snake, Julie smiles when Ciri finally looks up. She allows her family to come and go as they please, though she can always feel their presence and location. She leaves Ciri alone for a while before she walks through the cave, but then her curiosity as to what brings her here wins out. Wisps of extremely long pink hair float on the breeze, though most of it is tied up atop her head. Her dress is little more than shimming gauze around her, and it disappears as she walks toward the water.
The unicorn stays in the shallows, splashing around in the waves. The snake seems to check out entirely once Julie is in the water; it dissipates into butterflies that flit above them as she reaches Ciri. She treads water easily now, naturally enough that she could never imagine there was time she had never seen the ocean. The freckles scattered along her shoulders and face glitter in the sun. ]
Hey. [ She spits a mouthful of salty water at Ciri with a grin. ] Soon it'll be warm enough to go to the beach in Abraxas, too. Poke all the humans in the legs so they freak out.
