open to a brother from the same mother

The ocean dropped her off on the island more than she swam to it as she wakes, still half-immersed in the ocean. Her eyes open in alarm, and salt water fills her mouth when it forms a shocked 'o'.

All Adelle remembers right before the crash is reaching for her purse and carry-on, clutching them to her chest like she would stuffed animals. Her eyes were wide and terrified as she looked at Valentin, and the rest was a blur.

She quickly pats herself, affirming that she's still alive, that she didn't drown. She looks around, grateful that her purse and carry-on managed to come with the same wave she did. It's then that it fully hits her, as she looks beyond her belongings to the rest of the island, just where she is and what happened.

"Valentin?" she calls out feebly at first. "Valentin?" Louder that time. She scrabbles up off the ground and looks around wildly, spinning, her head turning left and right. "Valentin! Where are you!"

Her breaths come quicker as fear creeps up her chest. "Valentin!" Her shout is desperate.

"I think I had some in my bag," he replies as he eyes the bottle, making sure it isn't going to make him smell like a flower shop. "Which has probably sunk to the ocean floor by now."

He follows, obediently, as Adelle leads the way, towards the vegetation, looking for As. Hopefully they are fun people.

"Next time I'll ask the pilot to slow our plunge into the sea so I have a minute to grab my carry-on," Valentin comments, not at all showing proper respect for his sister's well-practised expression. "You can't blame a guy for checking. I don't imagine that would be much of a first impression, me walking up to people smelling like jasmine and violet."

Valentin keeps an eye out for marked trees as they walk. "Should we grab some coconuts?" He asks, knowing that he'll end up being the one to carry them anywhere.

"Well it looks like I can avoid both," he replies as he pours some of the lotion into his hand. He starts spreading it over his arms and face as they continue to walk.

"Lead on, then," he tells her, making a mental note of where the coconuts are for later.
