The beach: sand, water, sun, fish, surfing, blah, blah, blah. The only things that Ciúin really cared that were here was the water and the sun... and maybe the fish... if he ever saw any. Ciúin had been swimming in the ocean's waves for what felt like hours now, and had yet to see any fish. He sighed, dipping back underwater for another look around.
Underwater, he could hear screams and splashes, people scrambling out of the water. This was new. Just moments before, he was listening to sounds of fun above the water, not panic. Looking around, he could see the underside of something VERY large heading towards the docks. Curious, Ciúin popped his head above the water.
In the distance was a massive ship, waving a black flag with a skull and crossbones on it. "Pirates?" Ciúin tilted his head to the side. Wait, wasn't Val's mom a pirate?

Allura was pulling the ship into the cove of the beach. As they arrived she began yelling out "You all listen up here this is a privallege and not a luxury i bring you to the beach for fun. You all are to respect the beach and the people and if you dont your swimming back then working the boilers got it." Allura said and heard her crew say "Ah." It was then she turned herself to her quarters and smiled seeing Valerie all dolled up "Have you gotten your swimsuit under that?" Allura said with a giggle. Valerie grinned and said "Yes I do you dont know who you might see mom" Her voice was crisp but sweet "Now can we get going." She said and grabbed her bag swinging it over and heading out. Allura smiled and said "Sure" as they both came out of the cabin she told her crew "Everyone to the boats were heading out."

Ciúin drug himself on to the beach as he saw small rowboats departing the larger ship. As many people were fleeing, he remained. He had nothing of value, so he wasn't worried about getting robbed and if they were the worse kind of pirates, he'd just dive back into the water. He'd bet anything that he was a better swimmer. But in any case, his curiosity got the best of him at the moment. His tail flopped on in the sand like a fish as his wings shook of the salt sea water and began basking in the warm sun. He'd wait here until he could gauge if this was indeed his friend's mother's ship or not.
A slight chuckle erupted as he thought what he might look like to those that'd never seen a spawn before, especially a spawn or Torekane's bloodline. "Sea monster!" they might yell. Good thing this beach was apparently well-frequented by spawn and other creatures, though.

Allura smiled and watched hmm the beach seems awfully empty she wondered and watched it was then Valerie got up looking to the distance. Valerie got up with a smile looking to the distance as she thought she saw scales but couldnt tell. "Could it be Ciuin the spawn she had met at the candy shop when she was young." Having grown Valerie was a bit more taller and looked more similar to her mother in outfits she waved out "Ciuin is it you" She asked with a glee. Allura saw a spark come to her daughter in auro and the boat began to rock. "Valerie calm down your shaking the boat. Gosh darn that silly girl who could she have seen." Allura thought with a smirk because she was happy as well that someone may be there for her little one to play with.

A scaled hand raised up to shield Ciúin's eyes from the sun. He swore that one of the figures on one of the boats had just been waving to him. They were still such a distance off, however, that he wasn't too sure. But, in case they were someone he knew, he felt it rude if he didn't wave back. So, he raised his other hand and swung his arm slowly back and forth over his head. Hope that wasn't a sign for "shoot here" or anything.

Valerie smiled as she looked she swore it was ciuin that was there. Then she turned to her mother and the crew on the boat and said "Its ciuin mom and sorry ill try to calm down cant we get this boat to go much much more faster." As she finished she turned back they were closer but she wished it was that much more closer. "Valerie if its ciuin he will be there now sit down before we all take a swim. She grinned and bopped her daughter with a sheath of her sword then said "Were just about there now everyone behave and Valerie keep yourself together you can swim when we get there and i really dont want to swim before that and the crew remember my words" she said with a deep glare.

As they neared, Ciúin could see the form of a familiar spawn. He stood, just to make sure, but there was no mistaking the heart-shaped gems on the girl. "Hello, Valerie!" he called, waving his hand a little more vigorously. "Hello, Miss Allura, ma'am." He added the last bit, not wanting to seem rude to Valerie's mom. When the boat came within wading distance, he strode out and helped a couple of the crew secure the little dingy. A flash of his sharp-toothed grin, greeted Val and Allura. He held out a hand, in case either one needed or just wanted help out of the boat and on to the warm, sandy beach.

Valerie smiled and bopped up and down in excitement "You grew ciuin and I grew too and i talk much better i cant believe my luck to see and catch you here on the same day." Her voice like the air she bopped over. Allura smiled and went over first giving Ciuin a smile and grabbing on to his hand "It is very nice to see you here Ciuin are you alone and be carefull Valerie is a hyper bundle shes excited to catch you. Thank you for being a gentleman Ill leave you to talk and catch up with Valerie." Allura said with a bow and headed over to keep watch over her crew so as they keep there word and behaved.

Ciúin smiled awkwardly at Allura's compliment. He would never really consider himself a full-fledged gentlemen, he just tried to be polite. "Ah, yes, I did grow," Ciúin read Valerie's lips as she spoke rapidly. He'd become quite good, practicing on his sister [whenever she was actually home]. It was something that bothered the crud out of Bleez, since he would just stare at her with unblinking eyes are you spout out mile-long sentences in a few seconds.
Once Ciúin had helped Valerie out of the boat, he towered over her. He was as tall as an 18-year-old and built like an Olympic swimmer. All the food he ate definitely went to use: growing. "So, how have you been?" he decided to start the catching-up conversation with the most used question.

Valerie smiled and got off the boat standing next to Ciuin she smiled "You did get tall" She wiggled her tail and grabbed her bag as she heard him she began to speak again "I have been good moms been teaching me how to send mail by pidgeons and i have been reading my book. I might start learning more about the water and how to explore it better." She said eagerly "what about you how have you been also and how is your sister doing." Allura smiled and yelled out "Valerie dont wonder off by yourself make sure your close to me or ciuin and be sure to have fun." She smiled and continued on to her spot to watch out over everyone.

"I have been fine," Ciúin replied as he began to walk along the beach with Valerie in tow. He thought nothing of the fact that he was just in his swim shorts, but, hey, it was the beach, he was here to relax. A noticeable wince shot through him when she mentioned his sister, however. "I suppose she is fine." His tone was very flat as he didn't want to talk about her, obviously.
"What have you been up to, other than learning how to train pigeons?" Ciúin abruptly changed the subject, "Or does that take a lot of time to do?"

Valerie smiled and prodded her bag "i been doing research about possible learning to sing also mom has told me more stories of the life of a pirate. I met a gypsy and im learning how to sew" she said with a smile. "I was thinking about trying to see how good i could be at sand castle making." she giggled "Would you like to join me?" she asked with a smile.

"Wow, that is a lot of stuff to be learning!" Ciúin exclaimed as Valerie spouted out everything she'd been up to. He hadn't really been up to anything nearly as exciting. "A sandcastle? I can try, though I have never made one before." His life was really pretty dull...

Valerie giggled "Yep i have been learning lots. And awh come on ciuin im sure you can do it. I havent learned that much but i have seen them we can put our heads together and see what we create. She said this as she grabbed her shovel and bucket from her pack and looked "Maybe after we can take a swim though i am not that good yet if you want." She said with a big smile and looked over the beach for a good spot to start building.

"I would be more than happy to offer my assistance in any way I could," Ciúin replied to the offer, a little nervously. He rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, feeling a bit silly. Out of all the times he'd been to the beach, he'd never once made a sandcastle. Good thing he'd read something about it... he thought. Looking around, he spotted a prime location: the sand wasn't too wet, but it wasn't dry. If her remembered correctly, they would need wet, but not soaking, sand to pack into the shapes they needed. He pointed, once he was done feeling awkward. "What about over there?"
