"Nuh-uh," says Toli, shaking his head as he swims with her the short distance back to the lakeside. "It's my mama's. She'd have my head if I took it up here! It's this really, really pretty shell. She said she found it while she was beachcombing, whatever that means. But it's super pretty and super fragile and she won't let us kids touch it. Grown-ups are weird like that, it's not like I'd break it."

Diona frowned. "Aww, that's not fair..." she whined. As she crawled and plopped into the sand once the water was at her ankles. "I thought it was yours." Diona though, "do you got any other cool stuff down there, that you can bring here?" she asked him.

"I guess I could go look. Wait here, don't go away!" He dives down and swims down toward his underwater home. He skirts past his mother with a quick "Hi mom!" and into his room. He looks around for something cool, something she would never have seen before.
A-ha!
He snatches up a pretty piece of sea glass he'd found while playing with Moana and heads for the surface again.

Diona brushed the sand that had stuck to her skin while she waited for him. She wondered how far down it was and how long it might take him to get to her. It seemed like he could swim pretty fast. She clapped her hands when she saw his head at the surface of the water. "Whadja bring me?" she asked him in excitement as she scooted closer to the water's edge.

"This!" he says, holding the sea glass triumphantly. He wipes his hair from his face with some effort--it's wet now and definitely wants to stick where it'd stuck. He wiggles over to her and lodges himself on the sand, slapping his tail against the water excitedly.
He holds the glass up for her to examine more closely. "My mom says it used to be all sharp around the edges but the sand and water made it all soft. I kinda have a collection, with lots of shapes and sizes and colors, most of 'em are brown though, but they're hard to find. This one's my only green one."

"Oooo" Diona moved closer and looked at the object in his hand, she wanted to touch it. "Can I hold it?" she wasn't sure if he would let her, it looked fancy, what if he wasn't even allowed to hold it and was just breaking the rules to show her. "I like it" she nodded her head decisively. "Do you find them all down there?" Diona wanted to start a collection too, she would find all the pretty colorful ones and keep them.

"Sure," he says, giving it over to her. "It won't break, it's gotta be pretty tough if it's gone through the sea and stuff. I find 'em on the beach sometimes when Mom takes me an' Moana an' Zoran walking. She says we aren't allowed to go without her until we're older. We always look for stuff on the beach, pretty shells or rocks or stuff, but I only keep the glass."
He sticks his chin in his hands and watches her with it. "You...you can keep it if you want," he offers. Mom said when you like someone you should give them something to remember you by. "Cause we're friends now, right?"

Diona looked the glass over and then held it up at the sky so that the sunlight went through it. "Its is pretty, and pretty cool." she agreed. Diona's jaw dropped when he offered it to her, she did want it, but she kind of felt bad for taking something so cool. It wasn't like a pine cone that you could find anywhere. "Yeah, we're friends now. You DID save me... but you don't have to give me this." It was hard to offer it back to him.

Oh good. They're friends. He was kinda worried for a minute. "Well, well maybe we can go looking for them on the beach sometime! Later when Mom lets me go walking by myself." He nods excitedly.

Diona tilted her head to the side. "You're not allowed to go walking by yourself?" Diona looked at the ground contemplatively. "But you're not by yourself, I'm here!" she exclaimed as the idea hit her.

"Hey, yeah, you're right! Hang on a sec, I'm gonna go tell my mom we're going. She worries, especially since there's three of us kids. Back in a sec!" He dives below the water, and is gone for...quite a long time.
When he resurfaces, a pink head comes up near him. He swims over to Diona. "Mom says she hasta come too," he says, rolling his eyes.
