reflections

[Kandy 0]

Kandy looked down at the edge of the pond. She saw her reflection at first, but the more she looked down the more murky it became. Her reflection in the blue waters of the pond became blurry and fuzzy. Then she could no longer see it at all.  While it looked just like nothing, tears slid down under her helmet to her chin, and then dropped in the pond.

The girl looked away from pond, allowing other thoughts and sounds to vibrate in her metal. 

She heard the sudden stop of a frog croaking as she watched it plop in the water by her foot. It was spooked by something. The crickets continued their chirping.

The woman took off the helmet and wiped her tears. Her eyes twisted in the corner as she saw someone else, "...." she paused her action quietly to eye the other player carefully.  The woman eyed the individual making his way to also apparently take in the peaceful view before them.
