A blank look crossed Asrai's face. Somewhere he'd always wanted to go? Well, the water had always been just fine for him! He didn't like this whole land thing, but 'Qua seemed to and he wasn't gonna let her think he was a sissy! 'Sides if she stayed on land, she'd need someone to protect her. He puffed his chest out. And that someone was him!!
He tried to take a step forward and wobbled even more, almost losing his balance. He was rather glad she was holding onto his hand and he squeezed it lightly in gratitude. "'Rai doesn't know anywhere to go. Has 'Qua been anywhere fun?"

Aquamarine held him up as good as she could. It was hard to get used to. "Well, I went to the hut and drank a potion. I'm going to have a power, not sure what yet though." She was so excited she barely took breaths as she spoke, "Then I played ball on the beach..."

Asrai finally let go of her hand. He thought he should be able to do himself now. That balance thing was a bit tricky. He was still a bit unsteady but was able to stay upright. "Power huh? That sounds interesting, let's go there!"
Play ball? He hadn't heard of that game before. "What's play ball?"

"Yeah, ok!" She thought for a second, "I think it's this way." She led him the path that she had taken with her Dad not too long ago.
"A ball? It's a round think that bounces. We rolled it around." Aquamarine nodded and knew she had explained it just right.

Asrai nodded his head wisely. Now that he had walking down fairly well (although he did still stumble a bit on invisible rocks in the ground every now and then) he was starting to notice the strange things surrounding him. This world was very different from the one he knew, and as he followed 'Qua along he stared in wonder.

Aquamarine turned to see Rai's face. He looked how she felt the first time she was on land. "It's weird, huh? To think other paes live here all the time." Aquamarine smiled and kept walking.

When 'Qua turned around to look at him, Asrai realized his jaw had been hanging open and quickly snapped it shut. He didn't want to look silly in front of her. "Yeah, it is weird. I mean I've seen it before from the surface of the water, but actually being here is...well its crazy. "
Asrai noticed something colorful on the ground next to the path and bent down to examine it. As he got closer, he noticed it smell very pretty and so he plucked it up and held it out for 'Qua. He wasn't sure what it was but it's pink shade seemed to match hers.

"Yeah, it is crazy. I don't think I would ever choose to live up here over living underwater." She said with a giggle. Aquamarine loved the water and everthing in it.
Aquamarine saw him pick up something and walked over to him. "What did you find?"

"Yeah me neither. It's cool to visit, but nothing beats feeling the water rushing against your fins. " Asrai agreed with her wholeheartedly.
He tucked the soft vibrant pink plant behind her ear. "I dunno what it is but it smells nice and looks pretty."

Aquamarine looked up a the pink thing as he placed it behind her ear. "Yeah, it looks pretty! Thanks!" She said as they continued their walk to the potions cottage.

Asrai beamed happily, glad she liked his present. As he was looking around, curious about almost everything, he realized he was completely lost and separated from the water. Panic surged through him but he forced it back. 'Qua knew there she was going and as long as he stuck with her he would be fine. He would just have to make sure 'Qua was fine too.
As Asrai was contemplating his new self-appointed protector role, he caught of glimpse of something reflected in a small pool of water at the side of the path. He stopped. That couldn't be right could it? He moved closer to the water and started down at his reflection.
"'Qua," he finally said in a broken, worried voice "I'm gigantic."

Aquamarine stopped and turned to look at Rai, "Huh?" She walked over to see what he was looking at and then smiled. "I wouldn't say gigantic, bigger maybe. You grew! Didn't you know?" She giggled a bit, it was a bit funny that he didn't know he had grown.

Asrai straightened at her remark. "No" he replied rather defensively. He snuck another quick peek. So he grew huh? Well that made sense. He tried to discretely flex a muscle in his arm. Hmm, not very big. He'd have to work on that. But otherwise, he looked pretty good (so he thought).
"I wonder when that happened" He mused out loud.

Aquamarine stifled another giggle as she watched him flex. "I dunno..you were bigger the moment I saw you today." She paused to look in the water herself, "I think you get tha necklace when you grow. That's when I got mine."

"Really?" Asrai looked down at the necklace accusingly. "Well I found the necklace floating on the surface after I ate this really funny tasting fruit that made me feel weird. " The light bulb went off. "Hey I bet it was that fruit thingy! " He exclaimed.
