Maria sulked cautiously about the river's flow, waiting for a certain something. Waiting for someone to talk to, perhaps? Maria kicked the river's flowing water. "KERPLUNK!" the river promptly echoed. "I'll never be that girl, so easy to interact with everyone. To spark a conversation with a complete stranger...it's just too unrealistic." Maria sadly stated at the river. The river spoke nothing, only kept flowing. "Maybe with Father, or even Ray. But I know those people so well already..." Maybe one day, shy, but intellectual Maria, would work up the courage.
