Jasmine shivers slightly, still smiling brightly at Rhine and holding onto one of his new clawed hands. She nods to confirm his question, laughing a little bit at his reaction.
"You changed," she agrees with him, "Right infront of me." She adds this with a little bit of a teasing tone, as if it was an accident (though she can't say it wasn't) and he didn't want to. She takes half of a step back and looks at the rest of him, trying to get a better look at the change now that he seems a little less naseous.
Her head turns back up almost instantly when she realizes that he's naked, almost laughing at the irony of the situation but not at all thinking they'd be caught again in this kind of situation. She looks up in time to meet his eyes, and when he speaks her expression loses it's amused quality, softening to a smile.
"I love you too, Rhine," Jasmine says quietly, releasing his hand and hugging him.
*
Ecavi steps off of the raft and onto the island, nodding her agreement with Ceres' comment about there not being much to it. Unfortunately, she spots something Ceres' missed as she went around the tree- what looks like Jasmine's sweater, on the ground, with no dragon-girl in it. Jasmine had left it there without thinking about it.
She marches over and picks it up, then looks around to try to find Ceres- but can't see her. Looking in the logical place, she steps back and around the tree- seeing Ceres first.
"I foun-" she starts, finally noticing Jasmine and Rhine by the flowers, and she freezes. What-?
(( XD Gah, Rhine would be naked, right? If not or you want me to change that, I shall~ Just let me know. ))

(i doubt we'd just poof up some clothes in this situation... he didn't even realize what he was doing. so naked yes.)
Rhine breathed a sigh of relief at the change, and found himself blushing at the once over he was given.
He leaned back into her, hugging her. He didn't want to let go; partially to the fact he couldn't hold himself up properly, and mostly due to he was in her arms.
Rhine purred loudly as she said five words that meant the world to him.
----
Ceres had already stumbled onto the scene. She was blind, however, she got a full round view of what the island was showing her.
Jasmine didn't have clothing on that she had come with. Her boy, Rhine, had managed to transform, and was without clothing.
"RHINE!" Ceres called out angrily. "Didn't I..." She huffed, and started forward.
----
The angry words of Ceres startled Rhine. He turned quickly finding himself out of balance, and almost dancing in step, his arms flew outward. In a half twisted topple turn he landed on top of Jasmine.

Jasmine keeps him in the hug, finally laughing quietly at the situation- both when she realizes that he isn't letting her go and just because of what's happened. She jumps when an angry voice suddenly comes from near the tree, gasping- someone's right here? She accidentally pushes at Rhine a bit when she moves, not helping the balance situation- and ends up trying to stop him from stumbling. This also doesn't help, for he is suddenly turned and toppling onto her, taking both of them to the ground.
Ecavi watches for a second as Ceres' shouts and as suddenly everyone is toppling over. She winces, a naked Rhine suddenly on top of her daughter knocking her out of the shock and she also moves forward, holding tight to the sweater.
"Jasmine!"
The dragon girl doesn't move, though she's landed awkwardly on her wings, and just rests her head on the ground with her eyes closed.
Great. Just great. The last two times they were together, one of them ended up naked (by accident, of course) and they get caught both times.

Rhine rolls over off of Jasmine, panting a bit. He looks to Jasmine, and then their mothers.
First she's naked, then I'm naked...
First it is Sunny, and now it is THEM...
Is there ever a moments peace...
Is there ever a moment when mothers let things be...
----
"You've got two seconds... One to cover yourself, and one to plan your excuse." Ceres tore at her skirt, and threw him a large piece of it. Then she balled her fist, and tapped her foot.
Rhine snapped back from thought as his mothers words ran like ice water over him. He took the tattered material, and made a loin cloth out of it, and sat up.
Rhine looked to Jasmine, and gave a half smirk. "I found my focus point... I promise it looks worse that it is... Nothing happened." He was stuttering, and ringing his hands together.
I just wanted to kiss her...
Ceres shook her head. "You call undressing Jasmine a focus point, and that nothing happened..." She was furious in tone.

Jasmine sits up, stretching out her wings to try to get them comfortable once more. Her gaze falls on her own mother, and she can't even try to look defiant or like she has done something just to bug her- the look from her mother and the knowledge that something similar happened before telling her that if she even tried to joke about this she'd never be allowed out even with supervision.
Ecavi crosses her arms, holding onto Jasmine's sweater and frowns at the dragon. Once she's sure Rhine has covered himself and starts to try to explain, she does look over at him.
Her gaze quickly turns back on Jasmine when he looks at her and smirks.
"Nothing," she repeats, "Like the first time this happene-"
"I took my sweater off," Jasmine interrupts whatever they may say next, finally daring to talk back after hearing Rhine's stammering, "Nothing happened, it's just too hot here to wear so many layers of clothing, mom." Her first statement is more directed at Ceres for her comment about undressing, but her gaze stays on her mother- to whom she explains why. She can dislike Ceres comments, but she's not going to talk back to someone she barely knows.

Rhine puts a clawed hand onto the ground, and forces himself to stand. His head is spinning, and his heart is pounding.
He snorts looking towards his mother. "We didn't do a damn thing! You'll never understand... You've never loved anyone."
A fire like glaze covers Ceres' eyes, and in a few short seconds... SMACK! Right across his cheek, and followed behind it tears starting in her eyes. "Just because I've got no man in my bed doesn't mean I haven't loved. I love each and every one of my children..." Ceres was breathing hard. "You are one of my children."
Rhine growled, he grabbed Jasmine's hand, and then turned. His grip was tight enough to give her no choice, but other wise not enough to hurt her. "Me, You... We've got no reason to explain ourself. It is pointless. They see only what they want to see..."
Ceres balled her fists... "Don't you dare think about..."
Just as Ceres was about to say walk away, he pulled Jasmine off, he allowed both of them to step onto the raft they had come on. Rhines Mer-Friend came to surface, and nodded soflty, and pulled them to the other side.
Rhine paused long enough to look in Jasmine's eyes. "I'm sorry. I never expected such a thing to happen. Come with me..."
Ceres looked to Ecavi. "I'm sorry, I never expected this of him."

Ecavi's eyes move from Jasmine to Rhine sharply when he says his mother has never loved anyone, aghast at the accusation and the nerve it takes to say such a thing. Jasmine looks surprised as well, and jumps when Ceres' hand makes contact with his cheek. She gets to her feet, stepping back a bit now that Ceres is so close- but her hand is quickly taken by Rhine.
"Jasmine," Ecavi says forcefully, in a manner suggesting that leaving is not an option for her. The dragon doesn't look pleased with this tone, and can't help but agree with what Rhine says. They don't care what they say, they'll only assume the worst.
Well.. their idea of the worst.
"Don't even-" Ecavi starts, but doesn't finish. Jasmine follows after Rhine as she is pulled away, having no other choice- but not having any other wish at that moment. Rhine is right, and she won't accept it as any other way. She does give her mother a sort of scowl as she goes off to the raft.
Jasmine gives a small, defiant smile to Rhine. Storming off with someone else is much better than storming off alone, though it's only happened one other time. She shakes her head.
"No," she says, "You're right, they won't listen to us. Where are we going?"
Ecavi inhales sharply after Jasmine and Rhine go off, not the first time the dragon's run off from her. Jasmine and Rhine want their mothers to listen to them, to believe them- and then they storm off?!
"Where do you think they're going?" Ecavi breathes, trying to calm down.

Rhine ran a hand through Jasmine's hair. "I cannot tell you. But, I do need to ask that you trust me."
Rhine had learned how to get himself their, but never had he tried to take another. Certainly he couldn't tell Jasmine. What if she feared the worst... They'd be battling monsters for hours.
Rhine smirked. "I promise no harm will come to you. On my life, that I swear." He kissed Jasmine's cheek.
Rhine took Jasmine's hand, and lead her off towards the west of the lake. A thick fog covered the ground, and soon them.
Shortly after the fog covered them Rhine paused a moment, never letting go of Jasmine. "It will clear soon. Please fear nothing... Nothing at all."
Rhine thought of how bad that sounded, after all he was dragging the love of his life around. So he offered some compensation. "I'll explain when the fog clears."
Rhine then tugged at Jasmine, so that they could continue moving.
----
Ceres takes deep breaths calming herself. She then looks to Ecavi. "They'll go to the one he calls GraMa... My mother."
Ceres paused. "If we hurry we can catch them before they enter the grove." She paused. "Other wise..." She fell into a long silence.

Jasmine smiles and shakes her head a bit when his hand is in her hair, "I trust you, but it's nothing dangerous, is it? I mean- you don't ask someone that when you're going somewhere harmless." Her tone is mild and not at all serious, though she does actually want to know if they're going somewhere dangerous.
"If you say so," she grins at him, wondering about how able she is to protect herself. She is a dragon, after all. With a more serious expression, she allows herself to be lead off with him. Despite being a little creeped out by the thick fog, she doesn't act too bothered about it.
"Oh, will it?" Jasmine remarks, laughing, "Usually foggy for a couple minutes here?" Her tone is a little more curious now. Where are they going, what's with the fog, and why not explain now? She can't see two feet infront of her, surely their mothers wouldn't be able to see them.
*
Ecavi wrings Jasmine's sweater in her hands anxiously, watching Ceres. She isn't too calm, but is more anxious than angry now. She can save the anger for when they got home. It doesn't even cross her mind that they have company and getting mad at Jasmine infront of Tabby may not improve the dragon's view of her.
"Where's that?" she asks, looking around a bit, then back at Ceres, "Otherwise what?"
Oh to be in a world where you understand things and know your way around. And where people can't make such an easy escape!

With the trust handed to him Rhine lead them easily to the center of the grove. The fog was still there, however, the sun did shine through to make it appear as a clearing.
In the center of the clearing was a large old tree it was a cross between an ancient oak and a weeping willow. It was also much like the tree back on the island.
The tree swayed a bit, but much other than that it looked ordinary.
Rhine turned to Jasmine finally letting her hand go. He nuzzled her. "From start to center, center to end the fog guards my GraMa." Rhine smirked, and pointed to the tree in the center that swayed. "That fog has an ancient magic made mostly of will. It can take ones emotions, and turn them against them." Rhine paused. "If I told you at the beginning, you'd have thought to much on it, and we might not have ever made it because no on is expecting us."
"Ahem..." It came from the tree. "Are you going to introduce me, or jabber all day?"
"GraMa I'll never trick you with a new form shall I?" Rhine smirked, and lead Jasmine forward. "This is Jasmine."
GraMa moved a few branches to get a better look. "Trick me in my age... Never!" She chuckled. "She's a pretty one. I can see why you fancy her so." She winked.
GraMa stiffened a bit looking at the two. "Let me guess somethings happened, and you've let your temper get to you?" It was addressed mostly to Rhine, however, it lingered over the two of them.
Rhine looked to Jasmine with a smirk. "She sure is something..."
----
Ceres looked to Ecavi. "If they enter the Grove, and get to the my mother it really is up to here whether or not we get to them..."
Ceres lead Ecavi back to the pic-nic area.
"But on a better note... They will at least be under adult supervision, and nothing gets past my mother." Ceres smirked.

Jasmine gives Rhine a funny look when they suddenly seem to appear in the midst of a clearing, with a great tree in it. This obviously doesn't look dangerous, what is there to trust him about this?
"Uh-" she almost questions him, but he explains before she says anything.
"Oh, that- makes perfect sense," she says, though her tone is clearly indicating that it does not actually make perfect sense. The Island is an odd thing to get used to. Then she clues in that Rhine pointed to a tree and said GraMa. She looks towards it curiously when it suddenly speaks.
"Um," she smiles, waving a bit- not sure what to do, "Hello."
She bites back a laugh at the guess, smiling and looking at Rhine to see if he'd prefer to answer the question. There's something about this GraMa that Jasmine likes.
*
"What?" Ecavi asks, not liking the sounds of not being able to get to them. She just wants to take Jasmine home, demand an explanation and punish her for, at the very least, running off instead of explaining.
"That's alright, then," she says slowly. Adult supervision is good.

Rhine looked from Jasmine to his GraMa, and then nodded slowly. "You've pinned it. And I'm assuming you'd like the prelude to it all?" Rhine gave a smirk, and took Jasmines hand.
Rhine thought to himself... Just turned teen he had already stirred trouble. Trouble being something that came natural.
"But first..." The tree's branches carried something from somewhere within the branches. When it finally made it to the lower branches you could tell it was a pair of shorts. "You'd left them in case training left you ruffed up in this form... However, I think this situation is good enough cause to use them." GraMa laughed. "A loin cloth is a bit drafty..." She lingered on the last word.
Rhine slipped on the shorts under the loin cloth. Once up and secure he untied the tattered cloth. One of GraMa's soft branches swept over Jasmines shoulders as she smiled. "Take a sit children. Stories are meant to be told in comfort."
"I delivered the flowers as planned, and invited Jasmine. The parents insisted on coming along, so we did the picnic thing. I took her off to see the flowers..." Rhine went pink, as he choked on the thought that for a second time one of them ended up naked. But a warm washed over him as he remember the kiss, and the L word being shared. He stammered out. "And, and I... I changed... Because I wanted to..." Rhine swallowed hopping Jasmine could manage the rest of the story.
GraMa chuckled softly listening.
----
"Shall we go after them then, or leave them to my mothers charm?" Ceres smiled to Ecavi.

Jasmine laughs quietly at Rhine, and holds his hand back. Her eyes follow the shorts on their descent from the tree, giggling this time louder as the shorts are tossed to him, and she keeps laughing when the tree comments on the cloth being drafty. Maybe it's a bit childish, but she still finds it funny. She stops laughing when Rhine changes, and follows the instructions given to her.
She sits happily, letting Rhine tell the story by himself- but making sure she pulls a face when he mentions parents insisting on coming along. Instead of continuing the story for him, she smiles and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Much more fun~
*
Ecavi sighs, "I don't know, I just don't think running off was a good idea. But they won't go anywhere else, right?" She asks this thoughtfully- hopefully they won't decide to try to leave the Island or do something stupid. They can just wait for them to get back..

Rhine blushed as Jasmine kissed his cheek. He starts to purr looking at her almost forgetting GraMa.
Mother Tree chuckled softly watching them. "Young Love."
GraMa's voice brings him back to current thought and the story. "Well when I changed, I was naked." Rhine sighed softly. "It appears between Jasmine and myself that we are not meant for clothing..." He lingered on the thought of clothes. "Or need to perhaps learn how to put on clothes in dragon form so when we change we aren't naked." Rhine rolled his eyes. "Because it seems parents, and adults don't like us running around showing our privates..." Rhine was starting to sound sarcastic, and rolled his eyes. He rested his head on Jasmine.
Rhine snorted. "Any ways, parents caught us embraced... Me naked... My temper... I, um stormed off... Pulling Jasmine with me." He was pausing between each sentence. He didn't feel he had done wrong, but was sure parents thought other wise.
GraMa gave a look towards Rhine, and then Jasmine.
Rhine caught GraMa's look, and quickly added. "And, now we are here... But Jasmine did come this far of her own will." Rhine squeezed Jasmine's hand.
"You really should control that temper of yours..." GraMa said it softly.
----
Ceres nodded. "I am sure he wouldn't go else where. When he is mad, he goes to GraMa. She'll let him talk for hours. Mind you, she'll do her own share of scolding and getting the point across." Ceres smiled. "No reason for us to sit uncomfortably out here... Let us head back to the house to wait for them."
Ceres got up, and lead Ecavi back to the house.

Jasmine beams at Rhine, then looks back over at GraMa when she comments. It doesn't bother her, though in the back of her mind she knows if it was her mom she would mind it. It's great to be fickle like that. She nods when Rhine continues the story, as if to confirm it- though it really doesn't requiring it. Who would lie about that?
"Second time it's happened, last two times we've seen each other," she comments, "I have been trying a little bit to work on changing by choice, like Sunny said.."
She squeezes Rhine's hand back.
"I wouldn't have let you drag me off if I didn't want to go," she tells him, evidentally feeling the same way as Rhine. She knows they have done nothing wrong, and that their mothers don't think that. Jasmine can't help but laugh quietly at GraMa's scolding.
"I think I was grounded again anyway," she comments, it was this that made her laugh. Surely her mother would have come up with a punishment for something she had no control over, even if they had stuck around.
*
"Alright," Ecavi says, smiling a little bit. It needn't be said she makes a mental note of doing her own scolding when they go home. She looks off in some direction when Ceres says they can head back to the house- luckily, she looks in the right direction, for it's the direction that Ceres leads her back to the house in.
