"Yes...I do. Big tank or small tank...I'd rather not live in a tank." She shook her head to clear out the feeling of claustrophobia. "But you made it sound like you thought I'd be moving..."

"Huh?" Proteus quickly shook his head. "No...I was, uh, just saying that for Sindra. You know kids..."

"Oh..." She said, a little disappointed. "Yeah...kids. They think of the strangest things. I wonder if your brother will let her come to see me. I don't think he liked me very well."

"Oh, well, he doesn't really like anyone," Proteus said shaking his head. "I'm still shocked he was the first to make pops a grandpa. Although he does seem to be carrying on Dad's noble tradition of carrying on with out settling down..."

"What? Isn't that every man's dream? Not to be tied down by a woman? It sounds like he's living the life."

"Why? It didn't bring Pops happiness..." Proteus shrugged. "I think that kind of dream life would be too complicated. Trust me, it gets awkward when live like that and all the women get together...the better to team up against you..."

She laughed. "Afraid of a girl? You? Never. Is that why you don't play the field more?"

"Well..." he laughed nervously. "When a girl literally puts you on ice, you stop and reconsider your actions...Apparently my actions weren't very smart..."

"She froze you?! What's her name? That was heartless. She could have let you down a little gentler..."

"Eh..." he shifted his wings and edged away slightly. "In hindsight I suppose it was justified...I was kinda stalking her..."

"Hello, my name is Proteus and I have a slight problem with drooling after dragons," he said flashing her his winning grin. "Of course that should be had a slight problem with dragons...I think my tastes have changed a bit..."

"She was a dragon?" Naida looked down at her fin, then back to Proteus. "She could fly, couldn't she?" She pasted a fake smile on, not wanting him to know she was thinking about it.

"Well, yeah - the dragons have these big, leathery wings..." he stopped short and looked at Naida's expression. He might not have known much but he could tell when a woman was unhappy... "But you're prettier."
