Zakynthos, Wednesday Morning/Afternoon

[rebelseekspizza]

It was another nice, 23-to-25 degrees celsius kind of day - or somewhere in the mid-seventies, for those of a less European persuasion. The water was still warm from summer and the shops and restaurants were still open for business for a few more days.

Of course, today, there were also a bunch of shuttles sitting outside the studio complex, in case people wanted to leave Limni Keri behind and go elsewhere for the day.

[[ ocd up! open! ]]

There was a long pause, before Vette admitted, "I'm not entirely certain. Five, maybe?"

Before then, before she'd become property of that Rodian guy, she'd still been on Ryloth, just... working in the mines. She still had her mother and her sister. It wasn't great, but it was better than what had come after.

"It kind of all runs together, before a certain point."

And yet it didn't. Some of it stood out in painfully crisp, raw contrast from the rest.

"I can only imagine," Sidon mused, "and I mean that to the fullest extent, as before coming to Fandom, I have only lived in Zora's Domain, and even then, I've always wandered far more than others of my kind. Why, I believe I could say with confidence that I am the most well-traveled Zora in at least a few centuries. If not ever!"

Which was interesting, because, to hear Vette speak of where she was from, he felt as though he'd only experienced a small speck of what was really out there...

"Around this bend here," he added, "there's a bit of a rock ledge, if you might be feeling a need to..." To what, exactly? Get off? It was the very last thing Sidon would have wanted right now; he was quite content to go like this all day if he could, but he didn't want to dare assume about how she felt, how comfortable she was, if she was feeling even remotely uncomfortable, then he would just feel terrible if he hadn't at least given her the option "...stretch your legs or anything like that..."

"My legs?" Vette laughed a little at that. "You're the one who's been doing all the work, I should be asking you if you need a break," she teased.

... She was perfectly happy where she was at, and was quite happy to stay there for a while longer.

"I," she said, "think I'm doing pretty well, if I do say so myself."

"Oh, good," said Sidon. And then Sidon realized that he not only said that out loud, but that Vette more than likely felt the large sigh of relief that came with it. So what could he do at that point but to swim with it, letting out a laugh and just leaning in? "Splendid! That's marvelous to hear, and don't worry about me at all! You have easily been quite possibly the most wonderful and pleasant passenger I've ever had!"

And it was the truth, too. She hadn't even pulled his headtail once, which was much more than could be said for the multitude of hatchlings that had had the privileged.

Re: Keri Beach

Well, having two extremely sensitive head-tails of her own, Vette was well aware of how pulling was definitely not the done thing.

"Wonderful and pleasant, huh?" Vette laughed a little, herself. "Well, now you have me wondering if I ought to ask what the other ones have been like."

Re: Keri Beach

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"About a third of your size," Sidon chuckled with the answer easily enough, "and stupendously rambunctious! The hatchlings always scramble to get to me first, as I am clearly one of the fastest!"

If he may be allowed to shine his own scales for a moment there.

"I bet you do everything you can to make sure they're having a great time, too," Vette said, smiling fondly. "I'd love to see that someday. You taking the younglings out for rides, them tripping all over one another to get their turn..."

She looked around the cave again, tilting her head thoughtfully.

"I should learn to swim."

Re: Keri Beach

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"You have acess to the school''s very best swimmer quite literally at your fingertips," Sidon pointed out brightly. "You know that I would be positively delighted... honored , really!...to teach you."

Re: Keri Beach

[chirpchirpchirp]

"Honored, huh?" Here was Vette, blushing a little, though she was desperately hoping the tint of her skin and the dark of the cave combined would cover that fact, right then. "Well, I would be silly to turn down an offer from the school's very best swimmer, wouldn't I? Especially since I have him right here, right now."
