Ocean eyes, salty kiss ((2 person!))

He gave a bright smile, "You're really causing some trouble for everyone, you know, running away like you did."
"You were all trying to get rid of me anyways." was my bitter response, "Now, explain what you are doing here."
He gave a nonchalant shrug, "Unlike you, I can control my urges around humans. I'm no danger to them." he paused, giving me a cool glance, "You do realize how much of a danger you are to everyone around you, don't you? You should just give in, make it easier on everyone else."
I grit my teeth, "So help me, if I find another one of you around here, I will not hold back with my voice." for the first time, a look of fear crossed his calm features, but it quickly slid away.
"Whatever you say, princess. Just hurry and come back before your forced to." With that, he took my hand and kissed the back of it, leaving a thing layer of pearly green salt on the back of my hand.
"Better hurry; that human is looking for you." I made a hmph sound as I turned around, going to find Alex.

I saw Salt, looking distressed, "Hey where'd you go? Why do you look so upset?" I asked then noticed the sheen on her hand, recognising where it came from. "Someone found you." I said, looking around for the source

I put a hand to his arm, stopping him, "It is fine. He is not too deep of a threat, and it will take a few days for word to pass around that I am here. But, since they know where I am now, I suppose I can get back into the water again. It is pointless not to since they already know my location."
I was trying to be positive about this. Talking with Eron had struck a deep chord, and it was a struggle trying to put on a brave face.

"So your leaving?" i asked, feeling my heart twist in my chest

I looked down for a moment, composing my features. Looking back up, I had forced away the worry and gave him a smile, "Lucky for you, I'm still healing. I would like to stay longer... If that is alright?"

"Your more than welcome, besides they are just as weak us us if their on land. Aren't they?"

I nodded, "The issue is if they are somehow drenched while on land. So long as they remain damp, they are the ultimate predators."

I smirked, "well then, i have a solution to that one." i said and led the way out.

"A solution?" I repeated, following him out, "What do you mean?"

"Simple, heat, causes moisture to evaporate and then using that with modern traps and weapons will stop them."

I nodded, though still a bit confused, "But how are you going to transport heat like that?"

"Simple, central heating."

I had to walk quickly to match his long and easy stride, "Alex, I do not understand...."

"Humans have inventions that can create heat, fire, radiators, heaters... Luckily the house is kept warm, if anyone steps inside that is damp then they'll dry up quickly."

I nodded, finally understanding his words.
"Then it seems we will be fine. They won't be able to pinpoint your home, either. At least until the end of the summer."
I brought my arm up to link in his arm, "Do you think there is a place I could go swimming without anyone else seeing me?"

I thought for a minute, "There is a lake nearby, no one goes there at night."

My eyes brightened, "Do you think you could take me there?"

"IIf you want me to then yes."

I nodded excitedly, smiling, "I very much miss swimming... Will you swim with me too?"

I thought for a moment, "Since you asked, yes i will."

"Then I look forward to tonight." I was silent for a moment, but then I told him quietly, "Thank you for all of this."

I smiled, "Don't be. Though some of us humans can be cruel and nasty, i'd rather spend an eternity in hell then not help those in need."

"You are very kind for a human. I very much appreciate that." I smiled to myself as we walked.

((Would you like to time skip to that night?))

((Sure))

That night
After dinner I vanished to my room, changing into my trunks, a tight shirt and packed a towel and a change of clothes.

I was excited to get to the lake, and started getting ready almost immediately after dinner. Borrowing a bikini top from Vicky, I changed into a pair of shorts and a new shirt Alex had gotten me.
I made sure to wash the green salt off my hand from earlier, as well as grab a towel, so I could dry off quickly afterwards.
I then headed to find Alex.
