my heart stops without you

Little paws paddled, taking the woman out to the rocky reef where Roan indicated that they should stop. She wasn't used to such strenuous activity. Not the sort where you had to continue or you died. Once her paws hit solid ground, she was glad for the chance to take a breather. She gave her body a little shake to make sure that she didn't have water in her ears.

With curious eyes, she peered around the side of Roan as he did something strange to his face. When he turned to look at her, Iolaire instantly burst into laughter. "What in the hell are those?" The woman laughed so hard that she stepped off the edge of the shelf and went completely under the water for a moment. Coming back up, waterlogged all to hell, she was still laughing. Scrambling back onto solid ground, she tried to tamp her laughter into giggles.

Io fought hard to not laugh as she allowed Roan to slide the weird little head band thingy over her face. She blinked and wiggled her nose a bit as the strange cups were placed over her eyes. "Just put my face in the water?" Io held her breath and dipped her face in the water, eyes closed, lest she get sea water in them. When she didn't feel water touching her eyelids, she slowly opened them.

Had she not had her face underwater, Iolaire would have gasped. The lenses were clear, but were tinged green from whatever substance they were made of. A plethora of fish swam below. They were in every shade of the rainbow. All shapes and sizes. It was something that she'd never seen before. Bringing her face out of the water, Io grinned. "I've never seen anything like it." Using one paw to move the lenses away from her eyes, they rested on her forehead. Leaning up, she kissed the soaking wet, silver man. "Thank you."
