"That might have helped, yes. I didn't think about that when I said it though. You're the first land lover I've ever talked to."

"More of a sky lover than a land lover," Proteus corrected sparing a quick glance at the water. "Never really did well with that wet stuff though..."

"Fair enough. I've never really been in the sky, so I can't say what's better. But having the water running over your body, powering through it, it's unreal."

"As amazing as being carried up by the thermals? Warm columns of air lifting you higher and higher - to the very heavens, leaving this world behind.."

"It sounds so nice when you say it. But swimming is like that too. You have a whole world below you and you can visit the surface, break through the water and enter a new world."

"Well...it's not as wet as I'm used to, but I think it's fairly nice. It has these adorable creatures with wings. At least, I think they're called wings. No one's really given me an offical name for them. They're like two dorsal fins on a back." She looked around and smiled, her eyes resting back on Proteus.

"Actually we call them instruments of aerial navigation," Proteus grinned. "But I guess wings work just as well..."

Naida rolled her eyes again. "There you go using a bigger word than what's necessary. You're certainly no bird brain."

"Why thank you," he said with an amused grin. "Compliments from a maid such as yourself seem to be rare so I'll be grateful for what I receive."

"I've been complementing you a lot. You just haven't heard them. I even quoted you, or did you miss that part?"

She smiled. "I prefer to call it having tempremental issues. But you can call me firey. I'll take that as a compliment."

"Hey-uh," Proteus frowned slightly. "We haven't actually swapped names - have we?"
