Rosinante already has a habit of picking up interesting stones. They're something he's always kind of liked - little bits of the land where it touches the sea, holding the washed up pieces of other people's lives. Beachcombing is more than a way to kill time, it's meditation. It's something he doesn't take for granted the way most do in his world, for he wasn't born by the sea and had to come down a great distance to experience it and the unity it brings.
The opal isn't by the water, but it still draws his eye, and he finds it remarkable how a stone can look so much like water. He bends down to collect it, and is plunged into a memory belonging to someone else. When it has played out, he realizes he's no longer standing, but flopped backward into the snow, and the cold helps bring him back to his senses.
This is familiar, isn't it? Last had been those graves. Now he has little crystalline windows into the lives of the people here and it isn't an opportunity he's going to waste.
While he'll be just about anywhere keeping an eye out for opals and collecting them, he's also certainly going to stop and admire the aurora from the harbor, and in the pale cold lighting he'll be easy to find there.
Alternatively, he might come up to you and say "Hey. I'm sure you've seen those strange new stones by now. Did you find any of mine?" He'll be fairly direct about it, because he would sure like to have them back.
((Feel free to pick up more than one of his own memories if you like! There are many copies of the three not specially marked. If you want to write your character reacting to one but don't necessarily want a full blown thread afterward, feel free to just respond to one of the memory posts with a reaction.
Also note that Rosinante will be actively looking for and collecting opals but may not necessarily be giving them back or even saying anything to your character if he saw a memory of theirs. If this is a problem, please let me know! I'm happy to hash things out in pm, on plurk at tinylongwing, or at my ooc plotting comment.))
