Ocean's daughter

Beauty in the water, angel on the beach

Most people are afraid of the dark, not looking old

[giggles, nudging him]

[shadowofabarrel]

Well I’m not most people

     [smiles and nudges her back]

[syrenaswims-blog]

Well I'm half fish, so I think it's established that neither of us are like most people

[syrenaswims-blog]

Afraid to see yourself all old-like?

[shadowofabarrel]

Yes! That is exactly why I stay away from the ocean.

It was nice to see the island again…the sand and warm water were wonderful

[shadowofabarrel]

I would swim… if my skin didn’t get all wrinkly…

[laughs genuinely, her face turning red]

That does take up a considerable amount of time, but I do like to bake. It might not sound fun, but there’s something oddly soothing about it. 

[shadowofabarrel]

You like to bake? Well, I like food, so that’s convenient.

     [smiles] 

Can you make pumpkin pastries?

[syrenaswims-blog]

Is that even a question? 

[smiles]

Definitely

[syrenaswims-blog]

Last week, my cousin shipped out for deployment. It's been hard for my family and I, especially my aunt. We've been visiting quite a bit to help ease the change for her, and I've been slacking in the activity department, so sorry about that. But I'm back and in full gear now!

[grins, biting her lip]

I would absolutely love to do something with you

[shadowofabarrel]

Oh yeah? 

      [grins, but quickly pulls it back, not wanting to look too excited, but eventually gives up and continues grinning] 

I don’t know, what do you do for fun… besides… you know, avoiding becoming sushi…

     [laughs a little, nuging her]

Oh I don’t doubt it 

[laughs, nudging his arm]

[shadowofabarrel]

[smiles, glad she didn’t feel the need to yell at him or something] 

         Hey, what are you up to right now? Wanna do something?

[syrenaswims-blog]

[grins, biting her lip]

[syrenaswims-blog]

Looks lovely. Illegal, but lovely

[shadowofabarrel]

[turns around, his eyes widening a little at the sight of Syrena] 

         Right… It was… Um… Art?

[syrenaswims-blog]

Oh I don't doubt it

[smiles, leaning in to kiss his cheek]

Of course, how could I forget the cupcake

[takes a bite, smiling, and hands it to him]

[shadowofabarrel]

[smiles and takes a small bite before handing it back to her] 

              Hey! It’s not horrible!

[syrenaswims-blog]

It's fantastic really, the best birthday cupcake I've ever had 

[grins, taking it back]

[syrenaswims-blog]

[puts her hand on his arm reassuringly]

It’s way too cold for humans to swim, plus it’s just a legend. I wouldn’t want to take that risk with you

[shadowofabarrel]

[lets out a sigh of relief] 

                  Oh, I know… I mean that you wouldn’t and junk… Um… yeah…

        Say, are you every going to eat that cupcake?

[smiles] 

[syrenaswims-blog]

[smiles, leaning in to kiss his cheek]

Of course, how could I forget the cupcake

[takes a bite, smiling, and hands it to him]

[syrenaswims-blog]

If the legend is true, you’ll be able to breathe underwater now

[shadowofabarrel]

[eyes widen] 

          I’m… not completely sure that I want to test that theory…

[syrenaswims-blog]

[puts her hand on his arm reassuringly]

It's way too cold for humans to swim, plus it's just a legend. I wouldn't want to take that risk with you

[syrenaswims-blog]

[smiles softly, nuzzling her nose against his]

Thank you…you’re some kind of amazing, Barrel Relic

[shadowofabarrel]

[grins stupidly] 

            I kissed a mermaid…

[syrenaswims-blog]

If the legend is true, you'll be able to breathe underwater now

[syrenaswims-blog]

[smiles, pulling away, suddenly unsure of herself]

Was…that ok?

[shadowofabarrel]

[grins] 

       That was way better than okay…

[puts his forehead against hers] 

         You’re kind of beautiful…

[syrenaswims-blog]

[smiles softly, nuzzling her nose against his]

Thank you…you're some kind of amazing, Barrel Relic

[syrenaswims-blog]

[squeezes his hand back in assurance, smiling]

It was…wonderful. I kind of want to do it again…

[She leans in, taking charge this time and kisses him softly]

[shadowofabarrel]

Oh? Is that-…

      [is cut off by the kiss, but doesn’t mind one bit as he cups her cheek with his free hand] 

[syrenaswims-blog]

[smiles, pulling away, suddenly unsure of herself]

Was…that ok?

[syrenaswims-blog]

[she’s happily shocked when he kisses her, her cheeks blooming with a red flush when they pull away. She intertwines her fingers with his, smiling softly, speaking breathlessly.]

Feeling better, then?

You know, that was my first kiss

[shadowofabarrel]

[grins at her and nods, giving her hand a small squeeze] 

            Much better.

[raises his brow] 

            Oh? I hope it wasn’t too… um… 

[scratches the back of his head, just hoping it wasn’t a horrid experience for her]

[syrenaswims-blog]

[squeezes his hand back in assurance, smiling]

It was…wonderful. I kind of want to do it again...

[She leans in, taking charge this time and kisses him softly]
