Summary
“Most of us think it’s a sickness," Dean started, closing his eyes against the cool salt spray. "To be interested in human things. To walk on land. We call it The Yearning, and if a selkie shows signs of Yearning their family will do everything in their power to stop it.”
Benny tilted his head back to look at the stars. Memories floated in his mind’s eye, memories of past days on the ocean, of shipwrecks and blood, of chasing treasure and being hunted in turn, of the ever burning desire to return home. Home to someone who didn't thirst like he did.
Benny tipped his glass, eyes meeting Dean's in understanding.
“To yearning.”
