--next day-- Lexi woke with a start, sitting up quickly as she looked around. Nothing looked familiar and for a moment she was confused as to how she got into this room, that is until what had happened with Liliti came flooding back to her. With that particular mystery solved she yawned and stretched, violet eyes traveling around the room once more actually taking the surroundings in. She didn't see the other blond as she placed her feet onto the floor and stood. Without knowing if her family was aware of her presence or not the tan furred female decided to stay in the room until Liliti returned and told her it was safe to come out. Liliti had awoken an hour or so before in the same position she had fallen asleep, her eyes watching over the girl she had somehow come to care for with every fiber of her being. She stayed there for a few moments, just eying her quietly, before she heard quiet whispers outside her door and hopped off the bed with a sigh, only half prepared for the barrage of questions she received once in the hallway. Shooing them away, she had told them everything, every last detail, and learned the truth of what was going on in her heart and mind, the truth about the cosmic connection. Her eyes had widened, but somehow the truth of it all hadn't really surprised her.... However, it was a total surprise for her family, and they couldn't have been more excited. It had taken a lot for her to convince them now was not the time to meet her, they would have many more chances, probably a million, but for now it would be best not to overwhelm the poor girl. Begrudgingly, they had all left the house, left her to her own with a girl who had no idea the intensity of their connection. With this in mind, she entered the room quietly, and stopped as she saw Lexi standing there plain as day, awaiting her arrival. "Hello," she spoke softly, right then unable to say anything else.

As she walked around the room she smiled to herself, running her fingers over the different items that were on the shelves. She felt closer to the female now that she could touch and see the things that she collected, her treasures in a way. The violet eyed female bit down on her lower lip as she came to a stop, she felt closer and at the same time she felt like she was invading something private. She didn't like people going into her hiding place and touching her collections, as that thought hit her she stiffened. By coming here she had abandoned her secret place and all the things she had collected over the years. The other female was so lost in thought that when Liliti came back in she jumped at the sound of her voice and spun around to stare at her. "O-oh, hello." She responded, a blush creeping over her face as she averted her eyes to the side.
Her eyes widened slightly as the young girl jumped, searching her expression for some sort of explanation as to why she seemed so frightened, or perhaps embarrassed at the sudden intrusion. She couldn't help but assess all the different things Lexi could be thinking, looking at, judging her on, and as her mind calmed, she almost laughed aloud at how silly she was being. This noodle standing before her was not some sort of crooked pirate, or one of those uppity beings she had met while traveling that sneered at her way of life, in fact, Lexi seemed to quite enjoy hearing about all that she had encountered and overcome. Suddenly these kind thoughts broke open the door for this morning's events to come rushing into her head, and she couldn't help but give a sheepish grin and look down as well, but only for a moment. Stepping forward, she gathered her courage and spoke earnestly, "Is something troubling you? I did not mean to disrupt your thoughts. I only came to check on you after the events of this morning. I wanted to make sure you were alright." All of these things stacked up in her room, the maps, the small jewels, the clothing of her grandmother's planet, the drawings, the collection of items from her travels, the shells and trinkets from the beach, it all paled in comparison to the importance of someone else's health; this young noodle's specifically.

The silence made her shift her weight, wondering if she had accidently upset the other noodle. When Liliti finally spoke her ears flicked forward and she looked up quickly, did this mean that she wasn't in trouble? "I...uhmm I felt like I was invading by touching your things. I don't like it when people come in and touch my precious things....it just felt wrong for me to do it to yours." She explained with a soft smile. "I also realized that my collection cave has been abandoned...all of the things I have saved and protected over the years is there with no one to watch or protect them."
"Touching my things?" Her voice was quiet, gentle, and curious, as though what Lexi was saying did not register. She listened with sincerity, a small smile on her face as she reached out to gently stroke the girl's hair for a moment, before she realized she might be overstepping her boundaries, and pulled her paw back. "These things I have collected. These items which are stored here.... They are simply reminders of my precious memories. Even if I did not have them, I would still remember the moments which they represent. I do not need them.... I keep them so that others may see and enjoy them. I show people this room, and they see all these things, and something catches their eye...." She looked around with a smile, gaze drifting from one object to another as she stepped towards her shelves, touching one thing at a time. "They find something unique, and they ask about it. They say, 'Where did this come from?' 'How did you ever find this?' And I tell them. I tell them about my family, about my adventures.... I tell them stories, fantastic stories, and I watch as they enjoy them, as they breathe them in and imagine them. It gives people joy, you see, to hear my stories." Suddenly she stopped, her eyes catching on a small ruby, which she picked up and held to the light. "This one has my favorite story."
She turned to Lexi, her eyes shining, and she did not waste a moment before recalling her memory of that small stone. "I found it after I became trapped on an island, washed in with a storm. The locals told of treasure, the first I had ever heard of, and I determined to steal it for myself. It lay deep within a cave at the edge of shore, a cave which they said contained untold evils, monsters, and ghouls. But I was not afraid. No, as a child I was never afraid. So I stormed right in while the few locals I had brought with them stayed at the entrance, wailing for me to return. I felt around in the darkness for what seemed like hours until I found a light source, and there, beneath it, lay a sword with a flag attached. A pirate flag. Someone had already been here and stolen the treasure, my treasure. As I turned to leave, I noticed something glittering on the stone floor, and I picked it up. A small ruby was all that was left, but when I returned, the villagers looked at it like I had brought back the most glorious of the king's diamonds. They envied me for having it, even cursed me when I looked away, and so I kept it guarded in my pocket for the rest of my stay. Even after I joined a pirate ship, took home thousands of gold coins, I still held on to this ruby.... It seemed wrong to rid myself of something those villagers had so coveted. So I brought it home with me.... My first taste of riches." She opened a drawer below and pulled out a necklace with an empty claw dangling from the chain, then, ever so gently, she placed the ruby in its open palm. Turning to Lexi, she held out the necklace in her paw, a warm smile spread across her face. "Here, I want you to have it. You can start a new collection, one to represent all of our adventures, and when we return, I promise, I will help you collect all the ones you left behind."

A blush seeped over her cheeks again as that paw came in contact with her hair, it was such a sweet gesture and it made her heart skip a beat. As Liliti explained why she kept these things it occurred to Lexi that she didn't have the same connection to the things she collected as she did. The main reason she liked to collect things and listen to the other female go on about her adventures was the fact that unlike most normal noodles, she was unable to grasp memories as easily. There were times when she couldn't remember what she did the day before and it scared her, but she kept it a secret, hid it away from the world. The only thing that seemed to make the memories stick was the things she collected, unlike the rest of her life she could remember exactly when and where she had found each thing she had in her collection. Her attention was pulled back to the other blond as she spoke of the ruby and how she had acquired it, a soft smile creeping over her lips again before she realized that the other female intended to give it to her. She eyed the chain and jewel with tear filled eyes before looking back up at Liliti, lips quivering. "Y-you would really give this to me....one of your treasures? And one that was so important?" She asked softly as the tears finally did fall.
Liliti had no idea why Lexi had a collection of things, and it hadn't occurred to her to ask, but she assumed that she kept them for one reason or another, and so long as they were special to her, Liliti would find a way to get them back. The young pirate did not want to pry either, for she knew that it took time for a person to be as open as she was naturally, and some part of her assumed that if it was really important, Lexi would explain it to her one day, when she trusted her with the truth. Seeing the tears falling down the other girl's face caught her off-guard, and she instinctively reached with her outstretched hand to pull her in and hold her until she stopped. Swiveling her ears, she managed to catch the soft, quivering words, and her worried expression turned warm and inviting, her protective stance loosening as she pulled back slightly and picked up Lexi's face gently so she could look her in the eyes, the tiara she so often wore emitting a soft, but bright light. "Of course.... It's a treasure that means a lot to me, and I hope that it will mean a lot to you. I want to show you that I care about you, and I want you to look at it and know I will keep all my promises, and help you to regain your treasures. Besides, it will remind you of my stories, and hopefully make you want to always come back to me. Maybe one day you can give me a treasure, so that whenever I see it, I can be reminded of how you care for me..... Well uh, if you care for me." Rubbing the back of her head, she flushed ever so slightly, something falling in the pit of her stomach as she feared whether she was taking advantage of all that she knew.

Lexi smiled through her tears as she reached out to take the necklace from the other female. She held it up and watched as the light sparkled through it before holding it tightly to her chest, looking back at Liliti. "I want to have it, I will keep it and think of you if we have to be apart." Once the words were out of her mouth however her eyes widened and she blushed, averting her gaze. "I do care about you....it's odd but I do care for you. Even though we have barely begun to know one another I find that I don't want to be away from you for too long.." She broke off as the blush got so intense that her face was nearly as red as the jewel she was holding. "I'm sorry if this is coming out...and it bothers you but, this is how I feel. I could understand if you don't feel the way I seem to."
Liliti watched her with nothing less than adoration, still holding the girl's chin with one paw, not wanting nor willing to let go, enjoying the feeling of having someone close, taking care of them. She tried to maneuver herself so she could see into Lexi's eyes when she looked away, but finally allowed her the courtesy when the flush overtook her face. She was just as embarrassed, just as new to this, just as confused, and if she looked into her eyes right now.... Shivering a little, she realized she might just kiss her, and the last thing she wanted was to take things too fast and scare her away. Opening her mouth, she didn't know how to begin to explain what she felt, but this girl had to know, she had to feel the waves of passion coming off of her, and if not, she simply had to reassure her. "Lexi, I do feel the same way.... I feel.... More attached to you than any other person in the world. I care about you in ways I cannot explain, and I want to take the time, all of my time, to get to know you.... We have a connection, Lexi.... I....." She paused, scared, frightened this girl would think she's crazy, perhaps even obsessive, but she had come this far and couldn't stop now. "I have this power.... This power to feel who I'm meant to be with for all time the moment I meet them. You are my soul mate. I can't explain it, and I can't force it, but I will never feel a bond with anyone aside from you.... Ever. It doesn't mean you have to be with me, or that you'll me right away, or even that this will be easy.... But I want you to know that I will stay by your side as long as you allow me to. I will do anything to make you happy, and everything to make this something....." Her paw moving to touch, to cradle Lexi's cheek, she looked softly, nervously towards the young girl, holding her eyes there, the tiara lighting up brightly in the dimly lit room.

Several things were running through the young girl’s mind, and for the first time since she's ran away from her brother she was wondering if she had made the right decision. She kept her eyes downcast until she heard the other female's voice begin to explain exactly how she felt. Slowly Lexi lifted her head to look into Liliti's eyes, her own harboring a curious glint. "You have a power that tells you who your soul mate is?" The look on her face showed that she wasn't upset or even scared of what the other female said she felt or how she knew. "I-If you are sure about your feelings....I would like to take this as far as we can....to define the budding feelings I have for you. Will you let me do that, Liliti?" She asked after a moment, her voice soft as her ears flicked back to hide in the mass of curly blond hair that covered her head.
Liliti could not look away, her eyes were locked onto the young girl's face, seeing, yet somehow not really taking in, the girl's expression, her eyes blurred until she finally heard Lexi's voice. It was as though the sound awoke her from some sort of dream, and there she was again, studying all of her features, noticing that curiosity, that spark. Despite the signs she saw, and the words that spoke to her heart, tried to reassure her of the connection, she still felt herself shaking, her paws trembling on the girl's cheek, but still she held it there, unwavering. "Yes. It is something I inherited from my grandmother. It is never wrong, and it is unmistakable." Her voice was strong, sure, perhaps a little hard, but her next words took on a gentler tone, one of curiosity, and somewhat of confusion. "I-I am sure.... But what... Do you mean? How do we do that? I will do whatever it takes. Whatever you want. As long as your heart is in it."

She stood there silently going through all of the ways she could explain this in her head. She wanted to give herself a chance to develop what she could feel growing in her heart for Liliti. At the same time however she was a little scared of all of this, she'd never had a relationship before. The younger female wasn't even sure that she knew what love felt like, finally she decided on her words and smiled softly at the other female. "I've never felt love for anyone but my brother, I'm not sure what it is or how it feels....but I do know I feel something for you and I want to help it grow. I don't know how to make it grow, or how we should try to go about it, but isn't that the way love is supposed to go? We try things until we know it works and give to one another?" She looked away then, embarrassed by her words and the fact that she felt she wasn't getting anywhere or even explaining it in a way that anyone would understand.
Liliti was still unable to look away, needing to know how this was going to end, whether or not the unbreakable bond worked both ways. She felt her shoulder cramping up, small tremors shaking her paw as she tried to hold it in place. Finally, in order to ease the irritation in her joints, she let her paw drop, setting it instead on the other girl's paw, her head nodding gently in an encouraging manner. Ears perking, she watched the confusion finally turn into words on the girl's face, and she listened quietly, trying to make sense of what was to come. Her explanation completely reasonable, an understandable hesitation, and in order to express that, Liliti gave a warm, gentle smile as she spoke. "I also have never felt anything at all like this. My family has always been my only love, my only concern, but this is different.... I do not expect you to feel the pangs, the intense emotion, that I do at this moment, for it is I alone who is aware of the connection. I only wish that someday I can make you understand it." She nodded, patting her paw as she closed her eyes. "Yes. Love is a fickle thing, or so I have heard. It comes and goes, and no one honestly understands the way it works. But we made plans to go adventuring, yes? Perhaps just doing something that makes us both happy will help us truly understand these feelings. I can show you the things I love, and we can find you more trinkets to add to your collection. We do not have to force it, we can just allow ourselves to be who we truly are."

Lexi's heart fluttered slightly at the other's words. She had actually managed to make sense, and not only that but Liliti had agreed with the things she had said. "I think going out on an adventure with you, learning more about you and what is between us, and gathering more treasures sounds like a wonderful idea." She stated with a smile as she squeezed the paw that had slipped into hers a moment earlier. "I will, of course, have to inform my brother of my intentions but I believe that if he sees I am safe with you that he will be more inclined to allow me to leave." That bit was added with a soft sigh as she twitched her ears, Allen had a bad habit of not being as understanding as Lexi would want him to be.
Liliti's face lit up with a warm, happy smile that spread from ear to ear, her paw squeezing back gently as she opened her eyes, now slightly brimming with tears for reasons she honestly could not understand. Swallowing them down, she nodded her head, happy that Lexi had decided to respect her brother’s wishes and fight for her right to be free rather than just turn on her heels and run. After all, going behind her family's back to follow her dreams had only hurt them more.... Even if it took a while, convincing Allen to let her go would ultimately put the /least/ strain on their relationship. "Yes, I would expect nothing less. My offer to be there for support still stands, and I will do what I can to help convince him.... However, I.... Am unsure how forthcoming I should be with the situation." A slight blush burned on her cheeks when she thought about revealing her deep connection with Lexi to anyone else, especially her brother; that alone seemed a daunting task.

"I would like for you to come with me. It would be a good show towards the fact that you will be there to protect me if you went. I don't honestly know how my brother will react but you have quite a way for words so I think that you talking to him would be helpful." She felt like she was rambling but honestly the idea of going to her brother and going against his need to keep her close, scared the daylights out of her. It wasn't that she was afraid for her wellbeing, for the most part she was afraid for Liliti's. "We don't have to go right away if you don't want to, I..I would actually like to stay a little longer before we go and confront him." She couldn't keep her voice from shaking as she spoke, the fear quite evident at this point.
Liliti continued to nod, her soft blush slowly fading as she listened to Lexi speak, the gentle voice beginning to waver with fear and hesitation. Her paw held tightly to the younger vixen's, eyes kind and understanding, as she reached around to pat her shoulder gently with the other paw. "Of course, I just wanted to check and make sure. I don't want to intrude on your relationship with your brother, and the last thing you need to be worried about is me. I will be careful when reassuring him, I promise." She went quiet for a moment, smiling lightly, as she nodded her head some more. "Whenever you want to go, I am happy to set off. But you are free to recover and collect your thoughts. My family will let us come and go as we please here. I've already spoken to my grandmother."

--later that same day--
Note: This log includes Lexi's brother Allen. Prepare yourself. Lexi: -Chews her lip as she leads Liliti through the trees toward where she last remembered being with her brother. She loved her brother dearly, but he wasn't the best at receiving guests, especially ones that he didn't invite himself- N-not too much further now. -She said softly as she turned to look at the other female.- Liliti: -steps quietly behind Lexi, trying to stay close to the young vixen, though her eyes search their surroundings curiously- Hm? Oh. -walks a little faster so she can walk alongside Lexi, a reassuring smile on her face- Don't worry, I'm right here beside you. Lexi: -Smiles weakly at her before walking a little deeper into the trees until she spots a small cave, she came to a stop and shifted from foot to foot.- Allen..? -Her voice was still soft, but loud enough to travel. Allen: -Inside the cave there was a bit of a scuffle, before out popped the purple haired male. He caught sight of Lexi first and a look of relief passed over his face- There you are I was so worried! -After he spoke he noticed the other female, a frown curling his lips down- Who are you? Liliti: -stops slightly behind her, erring on the side of caution for both their sakes, and waits, watching as Allen approaches, before giving him a slight incline of the head in greeting- I apologize for popping in unannounced. My name is Liliti, I am here accompanying your sister. -does her best to smile despite his frown- Lexi: I'm sorry, I made a friend and I was spending time with her. I brought her to meet you. -Her ears twitched back and forth franticly, it seemed okay so far. He wasn't angry or coming closer, which meant he was giving Liliti a chance.-

Allen: Liliti, why exactly are you accompanying my sister? -He was ignoring Lexi for the most part, focused entirely on the new comer. She wasn't soft like his sister, he wasn't sure he wanted her around.-
Liliti: -eyes Allen, ears laying back slightly, irritated he was ignoring his own sister even though she had been gone all this time, but keeping her cool with a deep breath, shifting slightly so that her clothes rustled- She asked me to, because she.... -darts her eyes back to Lexi, not wanting to put her on the spot- She enjoys spending time with me. And I was helping her find new trinkets. -twitches her tail slightly-
Allen: -Seems to relax a bit, his sister always seemed to be on about those things she collected, the cave was full of them. He shifted his attention back to Lexi and sighed.- Well, you didn't have to sneak off. I'm not completely against you making friends, Lexi, but I was scared you were hurt somewhere. -He explained motioning for her to come close so he could hug her.-
Lexi: -Notices him relaxing and takes a deep breath, so far so good, but now she had to tell him the truth about why she and Liliti had come here. She stayed where she was, even though he was coming closer. She wanted to get this over with and if she went to him she might never work up the courage.- Allen, I'm sorry for causing you worry...but I think that Liliti is more than a friend. I think that it's time for me to go out on my own. -She shifted her weight again, ears entirely back now.- You've done a wonderful job of raising me and protecting me...but it's time for me to go now.
Liliti: -still watching Allen, she only felt slight comfort when he relaxed and called to his sister, her body still tense, her tail twitching in an irritated manor, she did not like the way he treated his sister, and she wanted to be able to tell him the truth about this visit, but she in no way wanted to rock the boat.... Instead, Lexi did it for her. Eyes widening slightly, she stepped forward, to Lexi's side, unwavering and unafraid, prepared to go on the defensive; she was going to back her up no matter what, with words or with actions. But first, she waited, eyes drifting over to Lexi, knowing how much courage it took for her to confront him-

Allen: -Narrows his eyes on Lexi for a moment before looking back at Liliti.- More than a friend hmm? What lies has she been feeding you? -He growled out as he moved forward. He didn't take kindly to people trying to take his sister from him.- You don't know what you're talking about, Lexi. You don't understand those kinds of relationships.
Lexi: -Winces at his words and inches closer to Liliti not liking how angry her brother seemed. She had been able to stand up to him only a little, and now what small amount of backbone she had was gone.-
Liliti: -steps in front of Lexi, facing Allen head on, not in an aggressive stance, but a defensive one, her lip twitching, threatening to curl back- Can't you see you're scaring her? You can't bully her into doing what you want. She is your sister, not your pet, not some little kid. She has the right to her own life, and she is a lot more intelligent and understanding than you give her credit for. You don't know what she feels, only she does. I am only trying to help her make her own path. I tell only the truth. Please, back off. I do not want to scare her any more, and aggression will only upset her.
Allen: You've only known her for what, a few days. Nothing you say holds any merit, I've raised her from a young kit. I know her, been there for her, protected her! -He scoffed before coming to a stop not too far from them.- I will not allow my little sister to flounce off with some wench because it suits your fancy.
Lexi: -Whimpers softly and moves up close to Liliti's back, eyes squeezed shut.- Allen...stop it... -Her voice was soft so it didn't carry, but it was full of pain and the tears she was trying to keep from falling.-
Liliti: -lays down her ears, tail gently curling around Lexi, brushing against her back as her eyes carefully watch her for a few moments, face twitching slightly with sadness, wishing she could only take away her pain as she turns back to Allen, staying her ground- And she loves you for that, you know it, I know it. She doesn't want to leave you forever, she just wants to have a journey of her own, a chance to find out who she really is. All I want is to protect her and take care of her as well. I would never hurt her. -ears tremble slightly- She is my soul mate. Whether you accept that or not is your choice. -lip twitches again, a soft growl threatening to boil up until she forces it back down- I am a pirate, and I will do what I can for the people I care about until the day I die. This is what she wants. Where ever she wants to be is where I will go, for her.

Allen: -Stares at the two of them for a moment before just deflating, his anger gone and replaced with sadness and a bit of loneliness.- Take her then, if she wants to leave me then I won't stop her. She's all I have left and I guess I was fighting too hard to keep her...just go. I'll be here, waiting, if you ever decide to come back.
Lexi: -Opens her eyes slowly at the sudden change in her brothers tone, peeks around Liliti with a slight frown.- Allen, I don't want to leave forever...like Liliti said, I'll come back. -She wanted him to believe her, but she didn't want to leave and have him hurting because of it.-
Liliti: -sighs heavily, stepping from in front of Lexi and shaking her head- It's something everyone needs to do at some point in their life.... She just wants to see the world, to make a place for herself.... We will visit when we can. After all, I don't want to simply leave my own family behind. It isn't forever. And if you want, you can even come with us on one of our adventures in the future. The last thing I want is to take her from you, at least not in that way.
Allen: -Shakes his head- Look I said to go, I need to do some thinking and I don't want her here. If you're her soul mate then take her and protect her. I suppose once you're done adventuring you can bring her back. -He looked at them both- But I don't want her here right now. So go. -With that he turned and went back into the cave.-
Lexi: -Watches him go before looking at her soul mate.- I don't understand..is this a good thing or a bad thing? -Her ears flicked back in her hair and her tail was twined around her leg.- He's never reacted like that to anything before.
Liliti: -turns to face Lexi once he leaves, knowing she could say nothing to change his mind, and gently touches her shoulder- I'm not sure. It doesn't seem.... As promising as I would have liked, but there's no convincing him otherwise right now. I think we should go, perhaps take a short trip.... But I think it would be a good idea to come back in a few days’ time, once he's figured out his real feelings. -sighs again- But I feel like he doesn't think I'm serious, that I want a life with you.... I think he just assumes this is a one-time thing..... -starts walking towards the exit, motioning for Lexi to follow as she thinks-

Lexi: -Looks back at the cave and sighs softly before following after the other female, sometimes she wished that her brother wasn't so difficult to deal with.- I wouldn't mind going on a short trip, just to get out and do something...maybe distract from all the serious things?
Liliti: -softly murmuring to herself, she blinked at the intensity of the light after coming out of the cave, turning back to make sure Lexi was following and giving her a soft smile- Yes, I think that would be nice. Perhaps we could travel along the coast; there's sure to be caves, along with the beaches, and I think farther up there's even supposed to be a lighthouse. We don't have to go too far.... But it might be nice to be in the fresh air, and maybe we could go swimming. -always thinking about the ocean, it's a curse-
Lexi: -Smiles and laughs a little- You'll have to teach me how to swim, I'm afraid I'm not that good at it. I'd love to go looking in the caves, they always have such wonderful treasures hidden away inside of them.
Liliti: -pretends to look shocked- Can't swim?! Oh dear.... It's a good thing we waited on introducing you to my family. They would've dragged you in the water for surfing and nearly drowned you. -gently nudges her and smiles-
Lexi: -Looks rather startled- They would have really done that? Even though I can't swim....that's kind of scary D:
Liliti: -laughs and shakes her head- Who knows with my father, honestly, but mother probably would have whacked him good upside the head and sat on the beach to talk with you instead. Not that father would make you surf right away knowing you can't swim, but he'd try and drag you in the water for lessons. He taught both my brothers to surf, not that Twister particularly enjoys it.

Lexi: Surfing sounds like a fun thing to do, maybe once I learn how to swim properly I can learn how to surf. -She seemed determined to do things that she thought would make Liliti and her family more accepting, even though she hadn't met any of them she was afraid of them not approving.- Liliti: -smiles, slowing her pace as they talk- I don't exactly surf; I've tried it a few times, but I enjoy sword fighting much more. However, if you're really interested, I'm sure Daddy Brock would be more than happy to teach you. I'm sure I could join as well if you want the company. -just wants her to be happy- Lexi: Well I'm not sure I could handle sword fighting...and while I'm not exactly sure what surfing is I'd like to either watch someone do it or try it. Liliti: Oh no, I would never ask you to do that, swords are dangerous unless you've handled them most of your life. -chuckles a little- Well I'm sure you could watch dad and Wave.... Although, the crash landings might be a little painful to see. Lexi: -Winces slightly- Well I suppose I'll just have to wait and see then... Liliti: -leans over and touches her nose to Lexi's cheek- Don't worry, they've never hurt themselves too badly before, just little scrapes and bruises. Water is usually a very gentle beast if you know how to tame her. Lexi: -Smiles lightly- I'm glad no one is seriously hurt, but it does make me a little less excited to go swimming or surfing. -Looks at her- What if I don't know how to tame her? Liliti: You and the ocean are kindred spirits, Lexi.... Gentle, loving, encouraging life.... She just tends to have a rough side if people go against or misuse her. Just be yourself, go with her flow and allow her to show you the way to safety. And if all else fails, I've rescued plenty of damsels in my time. -smiles widely- --end.... FOR NOW--
