<span style='color:green'>Hishema came up out of her hole and bundled her clothes in a ball on hard ground. She threw it into a tree and made the tree open to hold the bundle inside. When she appeared out in the open she looked that of an angel. Her wings spread open to her sides extending twice her height on both sides. She wore a green one-piece swim suit with a low cut back. She didn't like the feeling of coolness on her back but she had to have it open so her wings could get out. The swimsuit specially designed to mold her body to be as perfectly streamlined as possible. It was a darker green than her fur with hints of blue around the edges. She turned her back to the lake and quickly adjusted herself, 'Streamline' She scoffed, '...More like squishing. Tucoju has to make me a new one with more room for the breasts.' Satisfied with her comfort level she walked towards the lake and into Zale's view. She sat on the waters edge and let her feet slid in, she'd get in in a bit.</span>
breaking the surface of the crystal clear waters, Zale let out a content sigh. The wateres were so nice his mind almost drifted away into it. Opening his eyes and looking around to see where he had drifted to he found Hishema, sitting at the edge of the lake, dipping her feet in. She was beautiful... She looked like a nature angel, watching over her creatures in the peacefull woods. He smiled and slipped under the water once more. His fur blended well with the water plants as he snuck his way through them to the shore. Hishema sat on a bit of a ledge. The rock wall underwater looked as if someone had carved away at it, or something had brushed against it. It had marking dug into it that resembled claw marks. With the sun shinning on the water, making light reflections on the rock face made it easier to see. He pondered a moment at the marks and then remembered Hishema sat above him. Smirking, he dug his claws into the wall and climbed untill he was close to Hishema's feet. He just hoped that she didn't know he was there or the element of surprise would be gone. Reaching out his paws slowly, hopefully not making any noticable ripple in the water, he then lunged out and grabbed her feet that were happily waving in the water. Bringing himself up so he woulnd't drag her down he smirked as his face broke surface. <span style='color:teal'>"Boo!"</span> He was still smiling as he looked at her. Her wings were so big they looked as if they'd cause her to fall over... But they were majestic in that way.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema let out a sigh and closed her eyes, the water felt so nice. She opened her eyes and scanned the water, "Zale? Where'd you go?" She flapped her wings a few times to work them a little, "I wonder where he went, he IS an aquabat so he probably wants to swim around a bit i guess." Suddenly two hands grabbed her feet, saying BOO. Instinctively she screamed, the next events happened in what seemed like slowmotion. Her hand reached out and she held an open palm toward his face. She tried to summon fire but with none she formed a ball of water and a bit of mud and launched it at his face. It hit him with a minimal force as she realized who it was. She started panting, placing a hand on her chest to feel her heartbeat, She looked at his mud covered face and started laughing, "I'm sorry," She couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, "You look hilarious." She finally controlled her laughter as a few tears started forming. When she had calmed down she looked deep into his eyes and said, "Thank you. I haven't laughed like that for over a decade." Suddenly feeling something she'd never felt before she dropped into the water only a few centimetres away from Zale. She held her wings above the water using the wind to hold her up. 'What's wrong with me, I've never felt this before, what is it with him? What is this feeling?' Reacting fast before her reason returned she pulled him close and gave him a peck on the cheek, but held him in a hug, resting her head on his shoulder. She didn't realize the wind might be bothering him.</span>
The impact of the mud to his face caused him to let her feet go and sink beneath the water quickly. Shaking his face free of the icky mass he surfaced and rubbed his hands over his fur backwards causing it to stick out with wetness. He chuckled when she started laughing at his apearence. He smoothed the fur down with a paw so it would lay flat against his aquatic skin. He smiled at her quietly, not wanting to ask why she hadn't laughed for that long. He didn't want to upset her buy asking... Perhaps once he got to know her more he might ask. <span style='color:teal'>"Hey it's alri..."</span> His voice stopped working at the moment her lips touched him. He was startled at the action but yet happy. His eyes were wider than normal and his arms lay alightly floating in the water beside him... A small sweet smile crept onto his face as he closed his arms around her and pulled his head onto her shoulder just as she did on his. He felt like his heart would leap from his chest as he could feel the happyness and excitement fill him. Moving a hand up to the back of her neck he could feel that he never wanted to let go of her... Of this moment. It just felt, to right to stop. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> Ehehe. Awwww. =3 </td></tr></table>
<span style='color:green'>Hishema felt tired all of a sudden and she stopped blowing wind on her wings. She fell into the water and suddenly snapped back to reality. Quickly she tried to keep as much of her wings out of the water as possible but it was too late, they were already under the water. She surfaced and let her wings float on the surface behind her, "Oh well I was hoping to avoid having to do this but now that my wings are wet I might as well get ready to swim, hold on a second." She climbed out of the water, cringing as her wings dragged along the ground. She used bio and aero kinesis to get her bag from inside the tree and took her hair out of it's ties. It spread out on the ground behind her a bit when she did. Putting the ties in her bag, she returned it to the tree and dove into the water. Hishema surfaced and looked at Zale, "Having this much hair feels nice in the water when it's out. Shall we?"</span>
Zale was amazed at the length of Hishema's hair. It flowed so gracefully around her. He hardly realised that she had dove into the water until the water of the splash hit his face, pulling him out of the stare. He really needed to stop doing that. Nodding at her question he took a deep breath and sunk under the surface. Letting himself relax in the icy deapths he slowly opened his eyes. The sun reflected onto almot everything, giving off a mystic glow. Swimming deaper he smiled as he swam, eyes closed once again. He twirled, dove and rose under that water with such ease. His under-arm fin wings were outstretched as he stopped and turned, looking for Hishema.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema came up behind Zale and, using cryokinesis to move them, surrounded Zale with her wings. She smiled then surfaced and breathed before diving again. Using her hands to illitrate, she attempted to ask him to watch how fast she could go. She positioned her wings so they strecthed out and were perpendicular to her direction. Then using cryokinesis again, she made a huge current against her wings, and in a few second she dissappeared. She turned circling around behind Zale, she planned to surprise him again. Using a big current in the opposite direction she stopped just before Zale. Only she didn't realize that the current pulled Zale into her. She pulled air down from the surface to breathe then looked at Zale and smiled.</span>
His eyes were quick, but with the use of her powers, he lost sight of her shortly after. He could feel the vibrations of the water movement that proved where she was though. His whiskers came in handy for more then finding prey under the water. Her turned when her form had stoped. He smirked as he was pushed to her by mistake. Reaching a hand out slowy he caressed her cheek lightly, feeling the softness of her fur. Leaning in slowly, he pressed his lips against hers...
<span style='color:green'>Hishema was shocked by what just happened, but surprisingly she didn't panic. Instead she returned the kiss embracing Zale with her arms. 'What's wrong with me, I barely know him...I...I've never kissed anyone before..' Realizing she needed to breathe she acted quickly, and formed two open lines of air from the surface to her nose. The kiss lasted almost a minute, she didn't want it to end but she broke away from him smiling shyly, turning her head to the side a bit.</span>
When she pulled away he realised what he'd done but didn't regret it. He put a paw behind his head, embarassed by his own actions. He chukled lightly, letting bubbles go from his mouth. they ruffled his fur as they floated to the surface. Letting the last bit of air from his mouth escape he kicked his feet until he reached the waters end, air greeted his lung as he breathed in. He could have held his breath for quite a lot longer but he needed an excuse. He was having trouble keeping his own thoughts together when he looked into her eyes.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema swam to the water's edge and crawled out, She sat at the edge of the water and turned to Zale, "Are you hungry? I brought some food." She called her bag to her and she pulled out a blanket layiing it on the ground near the water. She had trouble getting their lunch laid out, she couldn't stand up because of her wet wings so she had to crawl around. A tear formed in her eye, her back was starting to ache from trying to lift her wings. She suddenly fell on her back and didn't try to get up. She turned her head to Zale and smiled weakly, "I'm alright."</span>
Zale had followed her to the edge and nodded with a grunt as he oulled himsef out of the water. He had attempted to catch her but he lost his balance and fell back into the water. Shaking out his fur in surprise he chuckled, laughing at then both. <span style='color:teal'>"Here..."</span> Getting out of the water he lifted her up partway and held her to make sure she woulnd't fall again. <span style='color:teal'>"Your not a pyro or anything? You could dry your wings off or something... "</span> Keeping himself steady, he sat her down gently. He had completely forgotton that she had already used the power of air and controlled it well.
<span style='color:green'>"Oh yes, I can control all elements, but whenever I try to dry my wings I always panic and burn them accidentally." Hishema smiled weakly as he held her up. She used cryokinesis to remove as much water from her wings as she could, "I'm alright now, I can sit." She pointed to the food, "I brought http://shadowlack.com/life/fauna.php?id=33Inth</a> sandwiches. Let me just heat them up here." She made a fire and heated the meat. Using precise aerokinesis, she made Zale a sandwich and gave it to him, "Try it," she said with a smile.</span>
He didn't mean the chuckle... but the thought of her panicing witht eh fire around her wings could be seen as humerous. <span style='color:teal'>"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. I would probably panic as well if i could controll fire... Flames still register as harmfull in my mind, so i don't see how i could use it... Or how anyone could get used to the fact that it SHOULD burn."</span> Accpeting a burger from her he took a bite. His eyes lit up and he nodded. Swallowing his mouths contents he smiled at her. <span style='color:teal'>"Did you make these? They are delicious!"</span> Sitting back he leaned on his free hand and ate the rest of his burger. A slightl breeze rustled through his short fur. Even though his skin was aquatic, almost earth sea mamal blubber like, he was covered in almost a light fuzz of fur, long enough to mascerade as normal pendragon fur. The breeze felt wonderful... He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema frowned at his joke but quickly smiled again at his compliment, "I love these too." She made one for herself and ate it happily watching him lean back. 'I'm glad he likes it,' When he closed his eyes she grinned and quickly pulled out a bag of cookies. Grabbing one, she aimed and threw it at his mouth. She hoped he'd open his mouth so it'd go in. She forced herself to hold back a giggle as it flew at him.</span>
Hearing her muffled giggle he peaked an eyes open and barely saw the projectile before it hit him square on the nose. He balanced it there for a moment, realising what it was. After a second he confirmed the food, he jerked his nose like a trained dog and let the morsal slip into his mouth. Trying to chew the cookie whole made a mess. Crumbles fell onto his chest silently as he swallowed and raised a brow at Hishema. <span style='color:teal'>"Death by cookie..."</span> He mumbled with a smirk.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema couldn't contain herself after seeing him fumble with the cookie. She let out a laugh, laughing for a good minute or so before stopping to wipe the tears from her eyes. She grinned at him and grabbed the bag of cookies. She stood and walked a few metres back. Her eyes started glowing green and the second from right mark on the upper most row of her tattoo, that was easily visible, began glowing as well. Her hair began waving frantically behind her. She smiled and said, "Catch these!" She levitated the bag of cookies and started launching them like darts at a low vilocity, so she wouldn't hurt him. She started laughing as she did this, "This is so much fun, I've only ever used my powers to protect myself, or take pictures, never for entertainment."</span>
When he saw what she was doing he tenced his body out of scared reflexes that she was going to shoot him with cookies... Then, it would REALLY be death by cookies... Smirking he leaned forward on all fours and caught a few then stood up, ready for more on the way. It seemed quite childish, but it was fun so he didn't care. He was playing... Fetch? He raised an eyebrow as he almost seemed to converse with himself silently. Getting distracted by his thoughts he let a cookie hit his face. Letting out a grunt of discomfort he rubbed his eyes to free the crumbs
<span style='color:green'>Before too many were wasted she stopped and ate a few as she walked back to the blanket. She set the cookies down and walked over to Zale to see if he missed any crumbs. Content that he was tidy, she ran over to the water and dove in. "Come here." Hishema gestured for him to follow and dove under the water. She was confused by new emotions she'd never felt before. She tried to ignore her unsettled feelings and focused on having a good time.</span>
