"Yes. I found you first. That makes you mine and I'll spear any girl who says otherwise or tries to take you away." She kissed him again, resting her head on his chest after she pulled away.

"I...could totally get use to this..." he said stroking her mane back while she rested.

Naida sighed, content. "So could I." The gentle stroking was putting her to sleep. She tried to fight it, but it wasn't any good. Her hevy eyelids closed and she drifted off.

Proteus just watched her for a while as she slept. He was amazed in so many ways. First off that she had such trust in him, comfort around him, that she'd just drift off like that. He'd known her less than 24 hours and already...well, he didn't really want to leave her. It was so strange...What was worse is he didn't know how long it could go on. Even if he found a spell that would let her fly, it would only be temporary and they couldn't use it too often - he feared magical backfire and refused to chance Naida's safety. And he still didn't like the water...the idea of going out beyond where his hooves could touch the bottom or under the water at all... Proteus cringed. No, that wasn't gonna work. Then...what could they do? Because being apart...well, that wasn't really an option he liked at all.

Naida cuddled into him closer. "Proteus...I'm cold...hold me closer..."

Proteus smiled and instantly complied, enfolding her in the warmth of his wings.
"Now this is just too cute..." Saber muttered spying the pair on the beach. "One little know it all brother and one fish...Pops is going to have a coronary."
"What is it Papa?" a foal stretched her neck trying to see over the rocky outcropping that she and her father stood behind. "I can't see! Who caught a fish?"

Naida's ear flicked forward. "Where are my daggers?" She whispered, holding stone still.

"Oh, come on, Naida, I thought we were past the whole dagger part," Proteus groaned. "Not that the whole warrior woman thing isn't a total turn on, it is believe me but..."

"Shh," She whispered, "They're not for you. We're being watched...I can hear voices."

"What?" Proteus pulled himself up to his feet and moved to defend Naida. "Which way?" he asked seeing nothing along the beach.

"In the bushes...two of them. One's not very good at whispering..." She noted Proteus's change in stance. "I can better defend myself in the water. You worry about yourself." She inched closer to the beach and slid into the water silently, watching the brush for any sign of movement.

"Better plan, you stay in there," he leaped into the air heading towards the outcropping. "I'll go see what's going on."

Naida was having a hard time seeing anything in the shadows. No bright colors, nothing. She did spot her daggers on the beach though, not too far from where she was. "There they are..." She stretched as far as she could to reach them, but she still needed a little more to get them...she'd have to get out of the water further...

Proteus folded back his wings and soared downward, "Alright you, what do you think..." He stopped short seeing his brother's grinning face. "Saber...what are you doing here?"
Saber continued to smirk, "Hey little brother. How's it going? Anything interesting happening? Catch any pretty fish girls?"

Naida scooted out and grabbed her daggers. She looked around for Proteus. When she didn't see him, she pulled the daggers back out and looked around the beach.
