Keahi chuckles and nods in agreement about the stakes before barking a sharp, joyful laugh at his next words. Eyes dance as she looks to Mercury, saying, “Shepard of the sea creatures. Hmm. It does have a nice ring to it…” She gives him a teasing wink and starts to moves up the beach, gathering the scattered fish carcasses and making a pile of them. Eyes turn to Mercury as he asks what Hawai’i is like and she offers a warm smile, continuing to clean up the area while saying, “It is beautiful Mercury. A tropical paradise, unlike any other. Fruit trees laden with delicious food, flowers as big as your head, and the ocean calling to you every night.”

A dreamy smile is on her red lips as Keahi grabs a fish in her maw and places it on the pile. With the area almost clear, she pauses a moment to look at Mercury and says, “It is beautiful Mercury.” Giving herself a small shake, as if to dispel a vision, she asks, “What about your home Mercury? What is it like?” Keahi does not realize the slip of her tongue as she looks to the stormy male.
