Intain heaved a deep and heavy sigh before following Krystal. He caught up with her and took her hand. He smiled at her.
"So are there any tips I should know? Something to help keep me from drowning or freaking out?" He asked her.

Krystal smiled. "There's two forms that you have to learn to swim in. The first form, which you are currently in, and the animal form. The animal form, you just have to pretend to stalk the prey while you swim. Then this form, you basically just keep your head above the water. I can't exactly explain right now. I can only tell you once we get to the water. We'll stay at the edge, so you wouldn't become paranoid of the water. You have to get used to it first."

"Why doesn't that make me feel any better?" He asked the air quietly. "How well can you swim Kitten?"

Krystal giggled and said, "I swim well enough that I swim with the fishes." She took him towards the direction of the ocean.

"Oh good, don't let me drown then, please." Intain begged and shivered. "So what is it like? This place that we're going swimming at?"

"It's big, it's blue, and it's beautiful during sunrise or sunfall." She held onto his arm and tugged him along, wanting to go faster there to show him the wonders of the ocean. "I'm suprised you never seen an ocean before. It's hard to miss when coming here, unless you lived in the north before."

"I lived up at the top of the mountains Kitten. Frozen in a giant icicle palace with the Ice Queen and her daughter. It was great though. I love playing in the snow and I could get Airlia to smile. But there was always snow and ice and it was always so beautiful." Intain said reminiscently. "The first and last few minutes of the day were always the best. The sun's rays would hit the icy peaks and everything would just shine and blaze. I could always just barely see the ocean from one of the mountain peaks, but it looked so small from up there."

Krystal sighed. She wished he could see his past and see the Ice Queen. She wished that she was there to see the beauty from his eyes. "Sounds wonderful." She paused, then continued on. "Let's go and show you the beauty of water then, shall we?"
After a few moments, they were nearing the ocean. It's vast body of water spread out like an open mouth. It's huge beach side taking in the water, then going back. A stray tidal wave hits the beach once in a while. But it's beautiful.

“Wow!” Intain said, his eyes going wide and stopping. “That is big. Are you sure it’s still safe though? Are you sure it won’t suck me under?”

Krystal laughed. "As long as you don't panic and swim out too far. Just stay on shore and just walk in the water. We will walk in deeper as we go along, okay?" She hugged him and pulled him along.
As soon as they gotten closer, she walked in the cool sandy water and felt the water rush at her feet. Their feet sunk down in the sand a little as they walked at the bank.

Intain took a tighter grip on Krystal, his eyes going wide. "Is the ground supposed to disintegrate under our feet like that?"

Krystal laughed and held him. "It's only sand! It does move under your feet while you walk. And not to mention, hard to get out of your hair, unless you have good amount of shampoo." Krystal giggled. "Your so cute when your scared. I'm so sorry. Come on! Let's get into waist length. Be careful of seashells underneath. And don't let the water go into your eyes. Come on!" She pulled him towards the deeper edge of the water, now it was going up to their waist. She then stopped him and she looked at him. "I shall let you get used to the water. It's fun, trust me."

"Why? What happens if the water gets in my eyes?" Intain asked worriedly, not liking how the water tugged at him. "You're sure this is safe?" He asked her again. His fingertips rested on the surface of the water beside his hips and his gaze scanned the water. He was so scared.

"Intain... Stop being such a scardy cat! Would you like salt poured into your eyes? Well, there is salt in this ocean and it's not fun if it goes in your eyes. You could try to get used to the water's solution like me, so I could see underwater quite well." She then all of a sudden jumped into the air and forcefully tackled him into the water. She hoped he wouldn't mind, but hoped he would get used to it.

Intain's eyes went very wide and let out a yelp. The briney sea water filled his mouth. He panicked when he hit the bottom. The salt stung his eyes, his mouth was filled with nasty water, and his lungs were beinging to burn. He pushed himself up, one hand holding Krystal's elbow. He spat out the water and took several deep breaths. Very carefully, he headed back to the beach and lay down. His hands covered his face and he was visibly shaking.

Krystal gasped and felt really bad that she did that. She slowly walked towards the beach and had a sad face on. She felt terrible that she did that. She spoke to herself. "Look at him... He's so scared. Maybe I should be a little more calm about this..." She then walked towards onto the beach and laid down on her stomach next to him. "Intain... I'm so sorry. We will do this later on. I promise I won't do any tricks anymore in the water." She reached out to touch his head. She then rested her hand on top his head, trying to comfort him. Finally, she scooted herself and wrapped her arms around him to give him a warm embrace. "Intain, I really am sorry. You don't have to learn how to swim if you don't want to."

Intain pulled his hands away and held onto Krystal. "It's okay Kitten. We can come back some other time." He told her softly and rubbed her back.
He watched the clouds float by above them. The waves pounded the shoreline and it made him feel sleepy. He figured that they should head back home, but he would leave that up to Krystal.
"Well... time to go home and take a bath I suppose. Unless you feel like taking a nap on the beach with me." He said with a smile and tugged on her hair.

Krystal smiled and scooted closer to him. So close, that her breast pressed against him. She relaxed herself and ran her hands down his back. "A nap will be lovely here. It's always good for us to relax on the beach, you know that? Just listen to the ocean." She became quiet and listened to the ocean like she said. She began to become more sleepy. It was a very energetic day for her. She began to close her eyes. She snuggled against him and began to feel sleepy.

Intain stroked her hair and wrapped his other arm around her. He kissed the top of her head and then rested his cheek against her head. He closed his eyes, listening to the surf, and lying comfortably with the only person he loved more than life itself.
"Sleep tight Kitten." He whispered softly to her.

(Well, maybe they could accidentally spend the night at the beach and just wake up in time for sunrise. They could probably try swimming some more afterwards or they could go back to Krystal's house and get ready to see the priest. They'd have to take a bath and you know how shy Intain is... *evil chuckle* I love being mean to my characters sometimes. How about you?)

(Oh geeze... Krystal is sure going to have fun helping Intain take a bath I bet... *snickers*)
Krystal woken up and bet it was going to be sunset from the looks of things. Krystal got up and stretched herself and looked around. She noticed that the sun wasn't in the west side of her. She widened her eyes as she faced the other way. "Oh my gosh... We slept all night... Intain, wake up." She began to shake Intain to wake him up.

Intain sighed, yawned, and sat up. "What's the matter Kitten? Are we stranded on the beach or something?" He asked, yawning again.

Krystal shook her head. "No. We slept here all through the night! I can't belive we missed dinner. I still don't feel hungry though oddly." She pulled him up, which was kind of hard to pull up a heavy guy and that she lost her strength a long time ago.

"Wow... all night..." He said with yet another yawn as Krystal pulled him up. "Okay! Okay! Since you pulled me up, I'll carry you home. And don't think I can't, because I can. So, bride style or piggy back?"
