She giggled and purred softly with a shrug. "You learn to pick up on such hints when most of your family is darker in color than yourself." she halfway explained.
She purred a slight hint louder at his next words, soon nuzzling herself under his chin. "I like you too, Charlie..." she conessed then giggled faintly. "I could say the same for you..."

 Charlie smiled and wrapped his arm around her shoulders, holding her close.
"Good," was all he could manage to say at that moment. He could feel his heart beating faster and he couldn't think of a happier moment in his life.
"Tangel... I... I normally act, aloof and distant towards people. I don't think that's going to change," he confessed with a little sigh. "But," he quickly added, "I'm not going to act like that towards you. Heh, I'm not really sure I could if I wanted to."

Tangel giggled at that and nuzzled herself against his chest, homing in on his heartbeat. "I normally act like.... well... like me!" she giggled again. "I'm very open and carefree." Her nose scrunched softly as she thought. "And I'm not one to usually stay in one particular place for so long... but..." She looked up at him with her warm violet-grey eyes. "when around you, my body seems to have made an exception..." she giggled again then winked. She was a playful little thing.

"Oh, really? Well, then. I feel special," Charlie replied rubbing his nose agaainst hers like he had sometimes seen Merlin do to Nimue.
"I'm glad we can be each other's exceptions," he added with a smile as he looked rather fondly into her eyes. His bright gree eyes warmed with what could only be affection as he look down at her. "You know, you have beautiful eyes."

"Thank you! Yours are rather handsome as well!" She purred as she blushed and nuzzled against him some more. She had run out of things to say as it again appeared that the moment needed no words.
She smiled as a few moments flitted by and the same butterfly returned to bother them for only a minute - landing on her ear for a few soft flaps before fluttering away again. She giggled softly at the feeling then turned to look up at him again. "Tell me... Do you like to swim?" she asked. The day was slowly growing warmer and the water before them was starting to look welcoming.

"Yeah, actually. When you normaly live on an island, swimmings kind of a given," Charlie replied understanding what she was getting at. He stood and helped her to her feet, taking off his headphones and hanging them on a branch.
"Do you like to swim?" he asked, tilting his head slightly.

She giggled and took his hand to help stand herself up. She soon followed his example of hanging her own headphones up on a branch. "I live on an Island too..." she winked and touched her nose to his quickly before walking into the water and diving under.
She swam a short distance then resurfaced with a turn to smile at him. "It feels good out here!" she giggled, then waved for him to do the same. "C'mon in!"

Charlie took a running dive into the water and slid in without even a splash. Using his tail as a rudder, he was soon in front of her and touched his nose to hers again.
"Reesh says there's more otter in me than cat," he said and twitched his nose a little as if he had whiskers to twitch. He reached up and tugged on one of his ears. "Though, I like these kinda ears better than little otter ears," he said with a little laugh.

Tangel giggled and splashed a small wave over in his direction. "Back home, inbetween the two islands is Twighlight Lagoon. Delorian is a Dragon who lives there and he's the one who taught me how to dive!"
She winked then made a quick lick against his cheek before diving under again. This time, her tail moved much like a sidewinder under the water, helping her "snake" her way further down as she held her breath. Once she got a good 7 to 8 feet below, she turned to look up at Charlie, a few bubbles escaping her nose.

Charlie dived after her, using his tail like a dolphin might. His paws were cupped for lack of webbing and blew a couple of bubbles at her, tilting his head as if to ask what she was waiting for.

She smiled and allowed a few more bubbles leave her before she turned again, diving deeper.
It was only a few more feet to the bottom and she immediately grabbed up something that looked like a rock. She smiled at it, grabbing up another very similar to it, then quickly scavenged for a long thin rock. Or just something with a large edge.
She gave a quick twirl in place - almost like a summersault within the water - and turned with a grin at Charlie before pointing up and pushing off the lake bed to rocket herself to the surface with her findings.

Charlie followed her, surfacing beside her.
"What do you have there?" he asked, tilting his head slightly. Water dripped from his nose and ear tips and beaded on his fur. He thought she looked even more beautiful with the crystal droplets sparkling on her fur like diamonds, but he couldn't bring himself to say so.

She held up two of the rock-like things and smiled. "Fresh water Oysters." she purred then giggled. "Have you ever opened one before?" she asked, halfway back peddling towards the shore again.

Charlie shook his head and smoothly swam back towards shore. He climbed out of the water, shook himself, and helped her out.
"I've had saltwater clams before and a lot of exotic fish, but never oysters. Are they good?" he asked, tilting his head slightly as he looked at the clam-like thing.

Tangel giggled and welcomed his help. She only set the items she carried down long enough to shake herself off before settling down again. She patted the terra beside her for him to sit as she picked them back up and smiled. "They taste a lot like the clams, I think... Only... I little less salt involved, of course..." she nodded and tried to split one open with the thin and sharp edge of the rock she had found. "Delorian showed me this trick too. And... Oysters hold something special within..." she half whispered, finally prying the two shells apart with the thinner side of the rock.
It wasn't completely open, as the muscle was being rather rebellious, but Tangel smiled and turned where she sat to face Charlie again. "Here... Hold out your hand..." she purred, readying to open the Oyster to show off the surprise.
