"Naida," he repeated thinking the name seemed to suit her. "I am Proteus."

"Proteus. That's nice. I'm surprised you're not more serious. Proteus sounds so serious." She grinned. "It's good that you're not though."

"I have an older brother who has more seriousness than is due in one family," Proteus affirmed. "They needed someone to liven things up a bit."

"So you decided to be the one to do it? That's admirable. If you're this way with them, you fill that need very well." Naida scooted down the beach a little, flipping the edges of her tail in the edge of the water.

"Yeah, I'm just drying out a little. I'll have to get back in the water for a few minutes before I can come back up on the beach with you." She scooted further down, her tail disappearing into the waves. Soon she ducked under as well and popped back up a few feet away from the shore. "See? Better."

"Maybe for you..." Proteus said stretching out on the shore. "Personally, I don't think I could pull off the wet look."

"Have you ever tried it?" Naida stretched out in the water, floating lazily on the waves.

"Noooot really," he admitted sheepishly. "See while my brothers were learning to swim," he glanced back at his wings. "Let's just say I had loftier goals..."

Naida nodded. "Oh. So you can't swim...I could teach you."

Proteus looked warily at the water, "I don't know about that..."

"Biting, huh?" Proteus chuckled trying to cover his nervousness. "So you're that kinda girl.."

Naida flipped her tai at him, sending a small wave of water his way. "You'll never know unless you get into the water."
