Welcome to Gaia! ::

Quils was stunned at how much Teresa did. At first he didn't picture her as the kind supporting type. Now he was getting to see her in a different light. Coming to a stop he watched as the water rushed ashore, crashing weakly against the sides of his feet. The winds were moving gently, cradling his hair behind him as he stood. Turning his attention back to Teresa, Quils smiled kindly and shut his eyes. Picturing her face in his mind he felt a warm sensation course throughout his body. He could remember her clearly, from head to toe. For him this was an achievement. He had a very bad visual memory, he could remember someone by their face but he couldn't place their image in his thoughts. With a laugh he broke away from his thinking and opened his eyes. "Wow, your something. I know that I would have a difficult time taking care of two people and myself while holding so many jobs." he said in amazement.

Quils winced to himself, a spray of ocean water dampening his bandages and letting some salt water seep through to the wound itself. He disguised this as a chuckle to wade of any worry from Teresa. Quils could feel her reliance on him at that moment, how she hugged his arm said it all. He'd never had anyone so close, it was a completely new experience to him. With a pause in breath he looked back to her and nodded, more for his affirmation. "Yes, your right. Its almost the sameway when your alone, just that sometimes apathy will take over and you have the dilema of whether to go on or give up. As you can see I chose to go on. Like I said a while back I don't have many memories of my parents. I remember growing up in a forest much like the one you call home, I guess thats why I spend so much time there. For years I wandered the lands, picking up different cultures and trades through my journeys. I stayed away from cities, keeping to small towns and villages. I could escape the corruption of mankind that way. Everywhere I went people complained about how the world is changing for the worst. I didn't know why I continued wandering instead of settling, but I think it was to find a place where that wasn't true." he explained, looking to the sky as he reminisced.

Quils smirked, he wanted to know more. "Tell me about after you quit being an assasin..." he said, not wanting to dredge up any unpleasant memories for Teresa.

Rivven nodded and turned around, carefully not looking at her, though he'd no idea if she'd looked at him or not, though he was suddenly caught with a growing and most uncomfortable tempation to try to catch a glance out of the corner of his eye. Not that she would probably mind, after she'd brought up after all how they'd be seeing each other and not made any sort of noticable dissaproval of it. He figured his entire face must be burning at this point, and he just looked down at the ground readying himself to go into the water. "If you are... do you want to jump in now?" He felt even jumpier. He wanted to go into the water, and enjoy it for a while, but though he now had his only scars he really wished to hide, he didn't mind the one's from fights or his more recent, quickly healing injuries, he was also showing a bit more if she looked... at this point he hoped she wasn't.

Rivven hurried down to the water's edge after, wading in sliding steps gracefully through the water until he was waist deep, and then dove smoothly forward and under, staying under a moment or two as he let himself adjust to the temperature, stronger currents, and just being amidst water he wasn't trying to control in some way, though he could still just feel its current as if he was. He turned himself upward and swam up, breaking surface a deal further out, though maybe not more than a few yards beyond where he might almost have been able to stand. He spun his head, waving the ends of the white hair that came just long enough to poke at his eyes away, and treading, as he spun about to look for Morgan. He faltered a bit at first, bobbing a lot, before he caught himself and continued with ease to keep his head above the waves. "You're right. The water is cold. Does the current in the ocean always go quite this way? It's not like a river... but it's nothing like a lake either. It keeps going in and out again, and it's a little strong, but not really fast moving."

He sunk down a little deeper with the extra weight, but he didn't mind, having Morgan close. What he desperatly tried not to think about, for reason of decency and other problems it might cause, was exactly how close, and how only water was imbetween. He slowly weaved his arms back and forth atop the water, and his legs under, trying to keep them from sinking or going in shore, even trying to pull them out a little further out. He did let the current turn them slowly, and watched the waves coming inland which would soon lift them up a little and dip them down again with the waters turning, shining with the light of the stars and moon one moment, and the land lit by the same the next, when he could see it over Morgan's shoulder. With the good view in every direction, he let himself look at her, meeting her eyes if she would let him. "Are you enjoying this? I think it's a great night, if a bit chilly." he gave her a gentle little kiss on the lips, and drew his head back without looking away or blushing at all, and smiled.

Rivven took a long deep breath, getting his equilibrium back after another one of her deep kisses which always managed to catch him off guard and thrill him. He'd actually not realized they were pressed against each other until when they'd come apart. He had to give her a little bit of an odd look when she spoke though. "Really? It is? I guess that would be good news then, but how can you tell?" Chakra users could sense chakra outside themselves, and at times he could feel a sort of energy in those who didn't use chakra, though it was different, but not with that sort of range, it was closer, though a stronger source could be felt from further off. "Are you going to want to go there? I could take us back inland now, if you'd like."

"Yeah..." he left it at, taking in a deep breath of the salty air again, pumping harder with his legs to keep them up while he stopped treading with his arms. He let himself outright stare into her eyes, and wiped the hair off his forehead again, where it hung near his eyes again. "Well, I guess we'll just enjoy our time together a bit longer then... Now..." he said, smiling a little mischeviously, which must have been a new thing to see on his face. "...let's see if I can get this right." He wrapped one arm around her waist, and the other under her arm and up her back to put the hand on the back of her head, pulling her gently closer as he leaned in to kiss her. He started gently on her lips, but slowly turned it deeper, until he held her there against himself, kissing her as deeply as he knew how as of yet, putting all the passion he could muster into it. He floated there with her like that until he started to feel short of breath, and released her again, nearly panting and trying to catch his breath again. "Am I getting better Morgan?" He asked a moment later when he'd caught it.
