“Good,” she said, though Faine’s limbs were thin her muscles were actually somewhat powerful. She knew how to swim and keep herself afloat for a very long time. Obviously she never went out into the sea too far because getting tired and such would be disastrous, but she often liked to take a little dip anyways. She easily pushed herself further, a shiver running down her spine as the waters would touch her soft belly and then move up her body. The ocean water would then slip up her spine and she let out a soft sigh, the waves rolling past her dark body and slowly she turned to look at the brute behind her. “You don’t have to come over here if you don’t want to,” she told him. Walk, "Talk" Think

Step by step, he brought himself further into the water. First he felt the water creeping up his legs, and he kept walking until it had nearly covered his back. At this point he was able to lift his paws up from the sand below, kicking lightly to keep himself afloat. He thought he'd gone out pretty far, but when he looked up he saw that Faine was still a few yards ahead of him. She said that he didn't have to come over there if he didn't want to, but of course now it felt like a challenge. And Alarik wasn't the type to back down from a challenge, so he reached down to the sandy ocean floor and pushed himself forward, paddling his way over to Faine. "Hey," he said with a chuckle. He couldn't deny that it took some effort; swimming didn't come as naturally to him as it did to her. But he was getting the hang of it. And staying afloat actually seemed a bit easier in the salty water. Now if only the waves would stop making him bob up and down... "Talk" "You" Think

hold me close & don't let go

Swimming was always easy to the fae, by the time she had learned to walk and run she had also known how to swim. She looked at him as he finally made his way over to her and she smiled, “Hey,” she said softly, she shifted her body and slowly the water slipped up to her shoulders. She looked at him through a glimmering carmine gaze and just like that she let her entire body slip into the water, taking in a rather deep breath before she went under and closing her eyes. The water was darkening but she slowly opened up her eyes, it didn’t feel too good with the salty water but she had to somehow see. She easily slipped under Alarik and she popped up once again, now behind him and taking in a deep breath.
