He enjoyed the casual friendship that was growing between them. But as An'Jeli set off Zuriel was a bit torn. To try to take the lead and show the way and zoom through the seas or to stay back with the one who had asked for his assistance. He compromised with speeding up just a tad.
"Oh it is quite nice, a little paradise in the middle of the ocean." He glanced over at her and grinned "I really think you'll like it, I doubt you'll find a better meal around here."
He returned his gaze to where he was going. An'Jeli was ahead of them but they needed to turn a bit. "'Jeli it's a bit more to the right, we're getting closer though, it should be in sight soon."

An'Jeli didn't really notice that Zuriel seemed to be having a hard time deciding what to do. She so rarely came out of the ocean's depths that the happiness she was feeling seemed to be deep-rooted. The odds feelings she had towards Opal began to fade away as the water rushed over her body. It all seemed to become so much more clear and wonderful.
The direction to head towards the right just barely made it to her and she began to sweeps and spin that direction, doing circles effortlessly just to have the feeling of dizziness sweep through her veins.
"You're the boss, Zuriel!"
It seemed like a pity that he wasn't having as much fun, but she wasn't going to say anything and seem rude. Maybe Opal didn't like the feeling of dizziness and giddiness that tended to make swimming just a bit harder. "It's so lovely out today.. I so rarely come out of the deeper water. What a treat!"

Opal rolled her eyes at the ditzy enthusiasm of the yellow mare. Despite her desire to earn the attention of the vibrant stallion, being in the presence of this "Angel" was wearing on Opal's nerves.
At least the patch of sea grass was close, and the stallion had proved to be good for some thing. It was true enough that Opal was new to this area and could certainly use a reliable source of food. Of course, if that meant running into An'jeli or perhaps any of her other mares that she might blab to about. It was too bad that she had to tag along to learn of this feeding ground as well.
"Well, everybody needs a bit of paradise" Opal responded contritely to Zuriel, trying not to let the aggravation slip into her voice.

With relief Zuriel saw the place he had mentioned in front of them, not that he was known for his ability to get lost or anything..."Ah yes this is a bit of paradise that you won't want to leave." He smiled at Opal and then swam a bit faster, "what are you waiting for? Aren't you hungry?" He smiled back at her and then focused on what was ahead of him.
'Jeli seeed to be thoroughly enjoying herself so he probably wouldn't have to worry about her he mused, and those sea grasses were looking more tempting the closer he got. He glanced back again though to make sure Opal was following.

‘Jeli swished around and back, making a quick loop around Zuriel. Her eyes danced with the glee of a good meal. Being out and around people was getting a bit easier as she adjusted to them. Normally her tongue tied itself up, or fear kicked in so hard that breathing seemed like some sort of great feat. Heading towards the ocean’s floor, she settled carefully near the edge of the paradise and took a mouthful of food.
“Mmm..” Chewing completely and swallowing, bad manners to speak with a mouthful of food afterall. “It’s even better here during the daytime. I always just come in in the dead of night.” Which meant she had several sore spots on her tail from bashing into something. Even with her decent night vision.

Opal swam closely by Zuriel and granted him a demure smile before heading towards the seagrasses. He had told the truth and brought her to the grove as promised. It could be difficult to find such a nice grazing ground. The sea was quite a big place, after all. It was a pity that now this other mare knew of it too. "Thank you so much." She breathed by his ear as she swam around him in a tight circle. Giving him a wink, she then settled down gracefully on the patch of grasses.
Had to keep him wanting. Nothing more generous than a lovesick stallion.
She made extra care to wait until An'Jeli had taken several mouthfulls of grass before beginning to eat herself. Daintily, she took a small mouthful of the succulent grasses, chewing slowly while watching Zuriel.
She let a small, bemused look fall on 'Jeli before looking back to with a chuckle Zuriel as if sharing a secret.

Zuriel was a bit surprised as she swam so close to him, and the wink was a tad confusing...he decided to try to ignore it.
He watched contentedly as the two ladies ate their fill. 'Jeli just dug right in, a hearty appetite but still polite. Opal was just a delicate eater on the other hoof. Zuriel felt a bit self-conscious. He wanted to dig right in but at the same time felt that he should play the proper host and wait to make sure everyone was completely satisfied.
He found himself watching Opal who was giving 'Jeli a strange look. She turned and chuckled in his direction which confused him a bit. Was it wrong for someone to enjoy their food like that? He really didn't know, he hadn't been around too much company. He returned a smile in response to cover up his confusion and hesitantly took a bite of grasses near him, trying to eat small bites, though they were still larger mouthfuls than Opal's.
(sorry I took a random weekish semi-hiatus from Gaia (busy spring break) if it takes me a while you can always send me a pm to poke me here)

After a dozen or so bites of the tender sea grass, Opal huffed to herself under her breath. How contrite. The colorful stallion had led them here and certainly looked proud of himself. And Opal was tiring of the antics of the other mare. There was a reason that she was generally a loner.
But, at least, she had gotten something useful out of this meeting - she had found a reliable source of food in these waters.
Zuriel seemed simple, genial, and normally would have been a stallion that Opal would have delighted in manipulating.... if he had anything to offer and didn't have this annoyingly clingy mare still associating with him. It wasn't worth it. At least not right now. He was probably the sort whose idea of a good time was chasing dolphins or jumping through the cresting waves. How droll.
So, Opal rose from the seagrass bed and gave Zuriel a smile. "Thank you for showing me the way, kind sir." She at least should keep up the charade. Perhaps she'd encounter him again more privately, and she could determine if there was more to him worth her time. "But I must take my leave." Leave him wondering.
With hardly a look back to An'jeli, Opal swam out into the depths, her blue-green color quickly becoming lost against the similar color of the sea.
