Silent sea

The nose bleeding again? He thought he had recovered from it. So his symptoms were never from the experiment, which was why he survived. He was just sick from being away from the sea. 

He walked in the rain, holding the cloth to his nose. It got wet from the rain and left a trail of red drops on the ground as he made his way to the river. He needed to get back to the sea. 

Ares swam to the sea where he had met Aletta. It wasn't a good time for all this trouble but he had to deal with it. He tried the strange whistling thing, thinking that it could perhaps be a way of communicating as well. Would it work? 

The rain kept pouring, but his nosebleed had stopped. He waited, wondering if she would come even if she heard him. She had told me she didn't want trouble and he couldn't wait forever.
