Would you help me search for a fairy cave on an August moon and a low low tide?

Title: A Night Away (Storm 3) Rating: G Word Count: 201 Pairing: Lark / Rosethorn Round/Fight: 2B Warnings: Summary: Lark positively beamed. It had been too long since she’d had a proper adventure.
Rosethorn inspected the clouds over their heads and followed them to the southeast, where lightning flashed. Thunder erupted half a minute later. It was a fast-moving storm, by her reckoning.
“Niko has them again tomorrow, doesn’t he?”
Lark wasn’t sure what the woman was getting at. “Yes…”
“We could send word by messenger bird—it would reach before the storm—and stay in Summersea for the night. That is, if we act quickly.” Another large raindrop had splashed across the bridge of Rosethorn’s nose; she wiped it away. Lark was still staring at her. “‘Acting quickly’ usually requires a hasty answer, Lark.”
Lark felt suddenly wired at the idea of a night away with Rosethorn—they hadn’t slept outside of Discipline in longer than she could easily say. She worked to hide her excitement, but had the feeling Rosethorn could still read her widened eyes with ease. “Yes, by all means, let’s. Niko wanted to watch Tris in a storm anyway!”
Rosethorn’s lips stretched into a sarcastic curve. “The gods placed this in our hands, then. Come now, let’s get to the Guildhall to send the message.”
Lark positively beamed. It had been too long since she’d had a proper adventure.
