It must have been about an hour later. Lucy was sitting down on the forest floor, her ankle stretched out, her other leg tucked under her, and she was shredding a dead leaf and still trying to guess what Keelie wanted from the sea.

“Is it a message in a bottle?” she asked. She had exhausted all the types of sea creatures she knew of, and was now picking things from pirate stories her papas had told her about when she was younger.

It was so long since she’d last heard Keelie splashing in the stream that Lucy suddenly wondered if Keelie was still there at all. She still had no idea what was actually wrong with her.

“Is it some seawater?” she asked, because she literally couldn’t think of anything else.

At long last, there was a very loud splash from the stream. Lucy laughed aloud.

“Ye serious? Ye need some seawater?” The spirit world was nothing if not bizarre.

Keelie splashed again.

“Will a bucket of it be enough?”

There was another splash. Lucy giggled again, having finally solved the mystery.

She carefully got to her feet and, with the aid of her walking stick, extremely slowly wandered back out of the forest. Of course, how she was going to carry a bucket, never mind a bucket filled with water, all the way from the sea to the stream, was another complication entirely.

She would build that bridge when she came to it.
