Puzzled, Zale pulled himself up and walked to the edge of the lake. Looking for her from the edge, he smiled. His smile faded as he failed to find her from the surface. <span style='color:teal'>"Where'd she go..."</span> He mumbled to himself, still searching. Running a hand over his head he made sure there was nothing in his way as he dove into the water again. He felt so at home in the water... Openeing his eyes he looked around. <span style='color:teal'>"Hishema?"</span> His voice sounded almost perfect as if he spoke above water. It was one of the traits of being an underwater being. <span style='color:teal'>"Hishema?!"</span> There was no sign of her at all, and that started to worry him.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema swam up behind him and hugged him from behind. She used aerokinesis to draw, 'boo', with bubbles. She could feel the warmth of his body, it was such a nice feeling, she didn't want to let go. Suddenly she felt a burning in her lungs and she quickly brought air down from the surface so she could breathe. Then, in a moment of mixed emotions, she brought her head forward, turning his as well, and pressed her lips on his. Although she'd kissed him before, with this kiss, she felt a peace she'd never felt before. She wrapped her wings around him as well and broke the kiss to swim in front of him. She couldn't believe what was happening to her, but before she thought otherwise, she kissed him again. Nothing else seemed to concern her at this point.</span>
He felt the water vibrations as she swam underneath him all to late. He had been too busy using his eyes to think of using the water as a guide. Feeling her arms around him, he smiled then chuckled lightly as he read the bubbled word infront of him. <span style='color:teal'>~Clever~</span> He thought. His smile turned into surprise as she leant around and gently turned his head with her hand, to kiss him. His eyes were wide for a moment after she stopped and as she came in once again he joined her kiss with his own. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> CRAPPY PoST WHEEE</td></tr></table>
<span style='color:green'>Hishema basked in the wonder feeling of the water and the warmth of Zale's body. Her mind ran over what she was doing, and what this new feeling was. She realized that she might like him. Suddenly the reasoning centre of her brain returned in full charge and she immediately broke the kiss. She stared at him for a few seconds before returning to the shore, 'What am I doing? I just met him, sure I think I might like him, but this is too fast. This is all wrong, aren't couples supposed to hold hands first? I don't think we've cuddled yet. Maybe I should ask him to leave. No, that'd be mean. He seems to enjoy the water, well he IS an aquabat. I know, I'll just ask him to come to dinner at the dorm, that way Tuju and sis will be there.' "Hey Zale? Will you join me, Tuju, and Tucoju for dinner?" Hishema struggled to stand up, her heavy wings weighing her back down considerably.</span>
Slowly following Hishema to the shore he crawled onto the mossy ground on all fours and shook the wetness from the surface of his short fur. His face was still slightly red as water rained away from him. Standing up he shielded his eyes from the sun. Looking at her he thought a moment the nodded. <span style='color:teal'>"That'd be nice. I'm not much of a cook... I just planned to find a restaurant nearby and have supper there, but i'm sure the cooking at your dorm would be better than a cheap hotel..."</span> That was what he normally did. Found a hotel to stay at for a few days, camp outside in nature, those sorts of things. He chuckled lightly and again ran his fingers through his head fur, slicking away the drops of water that dripped into his face.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema watched him get out of the water. She loved how his fur shined in the sun when it was wet. She quickly blinked and turned her head, hoping he hadn't noticed her staring, "Then I'll get changed." She walked behind some bushes and grabbed her backpack from the tree she'd burried it in. After drying her wings and fur, she changed and walked out to the beach again. She found her hair rings and fixed her bangs in them, before tieing her hair back into its usual ponytail. Her heart rate had finally calmed and she started walking ahead of Zale towards the Dorm.</span>
Zale smiled and watched her walk off ahead. Before following he turned to the lake and took a deap breath of fresh air. It was such a peaceful and beautiful place... He would definately take a photo of it later. Pacing around he rushed back after Hishema. ~~~~~ Walking back up the stairs, around the quiet hallways, they stopped at the door. Watching Hishema take out her key, they walked in and Hishema Set off to start dinner. Zale sat back down on the couch for a few minutes, looking at the roof absentmindedly. He could see the dried lines of the paint brush or roller that had been used when painting it. Gazing back down he watched Hishema get things from the cupboards, start the oven, etc. It was amusing to watch her mouth ingrediants' names as she looked for them. Gettin up, he realised his shorts hadn't completely dried off and he'd left a water-mark on the couch. <span style='color:teal'>"Damn... I'm really sorry Hishema... I didn't realise my clothes weren't completely dry... I left a bit of a mark on your couch."</span> He cracked a smile as he walked towards the kitchen. <span style='color:teal'>"Need any help with anything?"</span> He paused then chuckled, <span style='color:teal'>"Though, it'd probably be me who'd need the help in a kitchen. I really need to learn to cook."</span> He smiled and pictured himself cooking. It seemed so foriegn.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema looked up absent-mindedly, "What? Oh, don't worry about it." When she was cooking she was very focused. She wasn't that good of a cook, but Tucoju wasn't back yet, so she had to try. Her mind was still a cloud of foggy emotions so it was hard to concentrate on what to make. She had to say the recipe out loud as she attempted to follow it by memory, "No no, I'm fine, just wait at the couch please." She couldn't look at him right now. She tried not to seem like a frightened animal, as she gestured towards the couch. She didn't want him to notice her uncertainty, 'I hope Tucoju returns soon.'</span>
Zale looked slightly surprised at her change of tone, but smiled and nodded anyways. He hoped he wasn't being bother... Going back to the couch he found his bag and began to rummage through looking for his video camera. He woulnd't be bothering her if he watched a few video's right? Sitting back he emersed himself in the pictures and films he'd taken recently. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> I'm not going to post anymore because my rents are knocking and i need to get off. You can post because i doubt theres really much else for him to, for me to post other than watchin a few videos waiting for the others to return. So, i'll talk to you later... </td></tr></table>
<span style='color:green'>Hishema walked out to the main area and placed two plates of food on the table. The plates had a piece of Inth Steak, and an odd looking pasta, "It's good, trust me." She started eating, "I wonder when Tucoju or Tuju will return."</span>
Setting down the camera, he took up the plate and took a few bites. His eyes lit up at the taste. <span style='color:teal'>"It's really good!"</span> It was better than any hotel he'd ever been too, and better than eating raw fish in the ocean with his Family. <span style='color:teal'>"Thank you for the food by the way."</span> He wasn't done with the meal, but felt he needed to say it before hand.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema smiled, "Thank you, I'm not as good at cooking as Tucoju, though." When they finished, Hishema gathered the dishes and placed them in the sink, she'd clean them later, "Well, I'm not really sure what to do, what do you want to do?"</span>
Zale was about to answer then he stopped and paused, smirking. Letting out a soft chuckle he answered differently. <span style='color:teal'>"The dreaded question that can go on and on an on."</span> Letting his head flop onto the back of the couch he yawned slightly. <span style='color:teal'>"Hmm... Do you have any games? Cards?"</span> thinking a moment longer he tilted his head to have a glance at her, <span style='color:teal'>"Perhaps later if you have time... You could show me more of you Kenesis. It's quite interesting..."</span> He hated the fact that he sounded like a nosy old man asking that. But it WAS interesting. the way the could twist things to look as she pleased.
<span style='color:green'>Hishema turned her head to a nearby cabinet and used aerokinesis to bring three sets of playing cards to the table. It felt weird to show-off per se and quickly pushed them over to him, "I don't know many games, I mostly just build towers with them." She hastenly constructed one her most complicated towers that would've been physically impossible to make without aerokinesis. She smiled slightly, feeling very awkward since the same feeling as at the lake return once again. She was quite flusted by this arden, and she didn't know why. He was a decade older than her, and yet, this didn't bother her at all. In an attempt to distract her minds quarrel she proposed an idea, "How about you teach me a fun game?"</span>
<span style='color:teal'>"A game... Hmmm..."</span> Zale sat there thinking for second. What game was easy and fun... <span style='color:teal'>"Ah, Ever played crazy eights?"</span> He asked as he picked up one of the decks and started shuffling. Fixing any cards that were facing the wrong way, he dealt out the cards and began to teach her the game. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> Lol, Didn't know what else to do XD </td></tr></table>
<span style='color:green'>"Once or twice." Hishema stated, not realizing she had been staring at him. She blushed and looked down at the table. "I don't really play cards much..."</span> <span style='color:purple'>At that moment the door burst open and Tuju leaped across the doorway, smelling of alchohol, "Hey sexies!"</span> <span style='color:blue'>Tucoju followed quietly, a slight blush on her face showed she was also a little drunk. She closed the door and locked it, before chugging a cup of coffee, saying "Good night." and walked into her room.</span> <span style='color:purple'>Tuju scoffed, "She's such a light drinker."</span> <span style='color:green'>Hishema was a little shocked that Tucoju drank, obviously she'd been forced to.</span> <span style='color:purple'>Tuju sat beside Zale and leaned close so she could whisper into his ear, "So, you two have any 'fun' yet?"</span>
Zale just blankly looked at Tuju. He knew exactly what she meant by that and tryed to disregard it... for the moment anyways. He knew Tuju would probably start talking like that later... If she wasn't forced into her bed early that is. Zale smirked at the thought of him and Hishema tieing her into bed while she flailed around screeming things only a drunken person would say. Shaking his head he glared slightly at Tuju. <span style='color:teal'>"I'm guessing you went to a pub then..."</span> Taking the cards he had been teaching Hishema with, he placed them on the table and sat back on the couch, just waiting for something else to escape Tuju's mouth. <span style='color:teal'>~This is going to be amusing, heh.~</span>
<span style='color:green'>Hishema looked at Zale, then at Tuju. Suddenly a devious thought formed in her head, it surprized her that she'd think of such a think as torrmenting her sister-in-law, but she couldn't resist the temptation. Using aerokinesis, she held her cards in the air in front of her while resting back against the couch. A faint glow of her tattoo could just barely be seen as doing this took very little concentration.</span> <span style='color:purple'>Tuju gasped loudly, and rose to her feet, "LOOK AT THAT!!! The cards are DANCING!!!!" She continued to stare in awe of the magical cards.</span> <span style='color:green'>Hishema giggled to herself, looking at Zale for his reaction.</span>
He nodded to Hishema and smiled at Tuju as she began pawing at the floating cards. Chuckling, Zale snuck his camera out from his bag and took a few pictures without the flash. Later on, he'd take some more and show them to her when she was sober. Sitting back he placed his camera to video mode and let it film her from the top of the couch. <span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class='ooc'><tr><td> WH00T! For teh crappy post =3 </td></tr></table>
<span style='color:green'>Hishema continued to toy with Tuju, and stood up. She walked over and sat beside Zale, "Wanna go somewhere away from the drunken sister-in-law?" She moved the cards slowly into the guest room, in an attempt to get Tuju to give them some privacy.</span> <span style='color:purple'>Tuju, still mesmerized by them, followed.</span>
