The little merpony shrugged, "It's a rumor, Naida, they don't tell you that type of stuff in a rumor. Do you think it really happened?" she asked suddenly excited. "Who do you think it was? I bet it was Gwen - she's so pretty she could get an angel to come down to her..."

Naida smiled a combination of sorrow and nervousness . "No, that could never happen silly." She added, a little sadly, "Angels have to stay in the skies, and, well, merponies have to stay in the water. Even Gwen." She curled up on the bed, fin to chest and rested her chin on her knee.

Nessa swam around and plopped her face down next to Naida's, "Are you ok? You don't look good? Are you sick, Naida? 'Cause if you are I can go get Natalia - she'll know what to do!"

"It's nothing that time won't heal." She gave the little girl a half smile. "Besides, it's not contagious either, so no one else has to worry about getting it." I...should go find Proteus...maybe he'll...no, that might not be the best idea, Naida. They'll be watching for him now.

"Aw," Nessa said frowning. "But still...Natalia might know something that could help you?"

"Thanks anyway, Nessa." She sighed. "Do you really think an angel could fall for one of us?"

Nessa thought hard for a moment. "Maybe Gwen..." she said finally. "She's almost angel looking herself." The baby tilted her head regarding the older pony, "Why?"

"Just curious." She got up and swam to her mirror to brush her hair. "I think I'm going to go swim along the reef, see if I hear anymore about this angel. I'll let you know if I hear anything else, alright Miss Gossip?"

"Awesome!" Nessa shouted flipping in the water. "Get me all the juicy details so Dion will stop holing his gossip over my head!"

"I'll be sure to do that Nessa. Stay out of trouble, alright?" Naida swam off toward the reef, checking behind her to see if Nessa was following her.

"I always do, Naida!" Nessa said already amusing herself with Naida's combs and brushes.
Up on the shore Proteus paced back and forth along the sand. He'd thought of nothing but Naida all night...waking, dreams, they all blurred together, they were all of her. At least Saber was getting a good chuckle at his situation making fish jokes every chance he got. Proteus shook his head. No one else really said anything about it but he caught his mother giving him several pointed looks. Then again, his mom had always known everything...keeping secrets from the woman was impossible!

She turned to the shore when she was sure Nessa wasn't coming. She broke to the surface eagerly awaiting to see Proteus. She ducked back down under the water though, remembering the eyes that could be watching. "Proteus," She whispered. "Are you there?"

Proteus whirled at the sound of the splash (as he'd been doing since he'd first arrived soon after sunrise). The only difference was they time there was something worth seeing, "Naida!" He grinned and padded to the edge of the water, "Good morning! Um, are you playing hide and seek?"

"Sort of," She said as she slid up on the beach. She looked around for any sort of eyes again, finally getting comfortable when she was sure there were none. "I have some news for you."

"Oh?" he asked trying to keep the nervousness from his voice.
