She nodded sleepily. "Of course I do. Have you ever heard me say something I don't mean?"

"No," he said softly. "You're getting tired on me, aren't you?"

"Yes," She yawned. "Does that mean you're going to leave?"

"Only if you want me to," he said quietly. He didn't want to leave her.

"I don't. I like falling asleep in your arms."

"Then rest," he whispered. "I'll keep you safe while you sleep."

Naida's eyelids slowly closed while she curled her body up around his. Her breathing got deeper as she drifted to sleep there in his arms.

Proteus held her, watching her while she slept. It was insane, it went against everything he'd ever known. She was of a different world, the deep waters that he couldn't enter and she couldn't come with him to the heights of the skies. All they had was this time on this stretch of land between their two worlds... Not only was it limited, but Proteus could see the effects of Naida's prolonged time on the shore, her beautiful scales drying out, dulling and cracking in the sun.
"Aguamenti," he whispered, a gentle stream of water flowed from his hoof to cover and quench the stricken scales.

"Is it raining," She asked, still have asleep.

"No," he said quietly pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Go back to sleep."

"But then you won't have anyone to talk to. I don't want you to be lonely and talk to yourself." She yawned and forced her eyes to stay open.

"I wouldn't talk to myself," he protested. "That's what crazy ponys do..."

Proteus grinned and shrugged, "Maybe just a little..."

"There! You admit it," she accused, stretching her tail out. She was surprised it wasn't cracked or dry. It should have been by this time...but it wasn't. She shrugged it off. That just meant she got to spend more time with Proteus.
