- against her leg before she simply sighed.
the warmth from the sun, the breeze and smell of sea salt, the quiet sounds of ... well, life. it all made her heart ache for something more. a home she no longer was welcome to, and that longing was visible in her wistful expression.
โ and i can't say that i blame you at all . โ
she shook herself out vigorously, claws clutching at the surface she held like her life depended on it. as she stared out onto the horizon, she sat back the best she could. her tail was draped in her lap, thumbs tapping -
โ โ โ โ
and soon enough, they had broke the surface, just as the sun begins its descent over the vast horizon. it's a shame that the location of such a place was no where near main land. still, it mattered little to Romeo.
Perching himself and her on a nearby formation.
for her own sanity, she kept her eyes shut. it took a lot to not start freaking out, but she supposed it was better than being underwater in a enclosed environment.
it was so ... weird. finally she'd be free by technicality, but she couldn't help but wonder if she'd ever -
โ โ โ โ
And with ease, Romeo swam to the sea's level with a generous grip on her. Watching as the deep abyss began to slowly redeem it's blue color.
immediately, she covered her ears, recoiling hard. the sound was absolutely grating and it was like she could feel it under her fur.
โ okay, okay! jeez, i get it. no need to be so crabby about it. โ
and hold onto him she did, quite tightly might i add. the feeling of her fur getting wet made her whiskers stand on end, but if she didn't take this chance now, who knows when she'd have it again ...
โ โ โ โ
ใ Now why in heavens name would I do that. My assassination days are over. Mostly~. ใ
Guiding her closer to the edge. As long as she held onto him, she'll breathe just fine.
โ โ โ โ
she flexed her hand before taking his, giving a nervous smile.
โ i'm trusting you to not try and drown me . โ
eyeing the water cautiously, she slightly shook herself out.
โ โ โ โ
ใ and don't worry, I won't bite ~ . ใ
This time. What a sneaky siren of a man. Holding out his hand as he's done before as he tread idly in the waters.
โ โ โ โ
she wrung her tail in her paws, lamenting on her choices . it would only be for a bit ...
โ you know what .แฃ sure . not like I'd be carried off by seagull or something . โ
โ I'm glad for you .แ i guess i feel like .. i can't leave . i shouldn't, not exactly like i really have anything to go back up too .
...
though i guess a good lizard-like sunbathe wouldn't hurt. โ
โ โ โ โ
ใ I've been spending a lot of dwell time on the surface, re-establishing my life. However I had a sneaking feeling you'd still be here. ใ
