Xylo laughed as he was splashed with water. He splashed back three times, using powerful thrust of his arms to generate waves that splashed her. Once he did that, he pulled her close to him and held her close. Xylo then looked deep into her eyes, as if he was going to kiss her, but instead picked her up out of the water and threw into the water.
(Ok how about the fire freaked him out enough that they called it a night. He meets her the next morning at the cave they are going to build their house in.)
Persepolis noticed Luna shut down and become quiet. She hated to see her friend in this state. She should be happy, not making herself upset.
River watched him, batting her eye lashes, then he picked her up, and threw her. Fear flashed through her for a split second, as if it was an enemy and not her new partner. Though she quickly calmed, then she hit the water and was under. Water rushed up her nose and mouth before she could shut them.
Sierra waited patiently in the cave, playing with ice on the walls. What she was doing was painting a picture of Casimir with ice. She smiled, once it was done and she could look back at it and realize where it needed fixing. After a little more sculpting, she smiled at the cave wall, and at the handsome Aves that was painted on it. She stepped back and looked up at him embarrassedly as he entered. She blushed immediately and asked “Hey Casimir how are you?”
Luna responded softly, appreciative of her compassion as always but especially now when she needed it most. But that coldness returned, like an icy winter that killed all growth of spring. With a sigh, she responded "This isn't fair. All I do is vent to you because I can't handle my feelings. And I don't do anything for you." This was an example of that coldness returning, and she hated it yet it was as if she couldn't control it. She continued apologetically "I'm sorry...I." She didn't know what else to say, she was lost. Here she was, ruining a friendship once again.
Xylo smiled, responding "Guess I win." He walked over to her and carefully made sure she was fine, before apologizing "I'm sorry, that might have been a tiny bit extra." He asked softly, his usual charm returning once again, "What about a real kiss this time, no tricks. As an apology to the vampiress." He looked at her adoringly, but also somewhat meekly as he was sorry for any damage he might've caused her.
Persepolis listened attentively. She honestly cared about Luna and wanted to help her in any way that she could. Persepolis' heart ached at Luna's words. She didn't believe that Luna had anything to apologize for, she was here for Luna to talk to and she wanted her to know that. Sensing Luna's inability to continue, Persepolis embraced her softly, in a friendly and supportive way. Without letting go, she spoke softly, "You don't have to apologize to me. You never have to. It's okay that you vent to me, I don't mind. I want to be here for you. I'm not asking you to do anything for me, you can just talk to me if that's what you want to do." Persepolis went silent, waiting for Luna to say or do something.
River smiled up at him, noting amusedly that he towered over her. "Maybe a tiny bit." She then added. "A real kiss would be be nice."
