Catching Up and Jumping In. [[Open]]

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie laughed even harder causing her to sink under the water. She gave herself gills so she could breath, but continued to laugh. She could see Tadd above her his movements caused her to laugh harder. She forced herself back up above the water. "You should have kept with your plans. You could use the workout." She laughed patting his toned stomach.

[Tadd Levingstein]

He grabbed her throwing her in the air olding her up and dipping her back down into the water.
"Oh yeah, oh yeah!" He laughed tickling her and spinning her around in the water.
"I'll show you what a workout is!" He laughed and sped away swimming at top speed.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie laughed and screamed as he tickled her. She watched him take off swimming and smiled. She had kept her gills, but now add webbed hands, fins for feet, and she managed to do something with her eyes so that she could see better. She dived under the water and swam after him. She got up right underneath him and tickled his stomach.

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd reached into the water underneath him and brought Emmie to the front of him.
"You feel those muscles baby? Nothing tickles me you silly girl." He laughed sarcastically, inside bursting with laughter from her movements on his skin.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie looked at him with judgmental eyes. "We'll see about that when you are dry." She kissed his noise and splashed water in his face when she pulled away. Emmie then pulled him down into the water with her. She needed air, she hadn't yet gotten rid of her gills.

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd let her pull him to the bottom before he bent his legs and pushed off from the gooey earth on the bottom of the lake. He spat out water and kissed her before doing flips back to shore. He jumped out of the lake, only to jump back in with a mighty splash.
"Come on Emmie. Show me what you've got." He laughed, trying to start a little fight between the two off them, he wanted her to tackle him into the water so they could splash around a little. He eyed her up and splashed at her.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie looked at him. "I can do what ever?" She didn't wait for an answer. She swam down to the bottom of the lake and then turn around pointing herself to the surface. She took off, as fast as she could till she broke the surface flying into the air. She arced her body turning herself back towards the water. Instead of gracefullying entering the water again, she balled up and broke the surface with a large splash, covering Tadd. "How about that?" She swam closer to him wrapping her arms around him.

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd smiled at her trick and swam out to the lake near her.
"Very, very invigorating, very nice. Beautiful. But not really what I was looking for."

He smiled mischeiviously and picked her up spinning her around again, and carried her out of the lake soaking, he carried her one hand under her knees and the other her back, like they were married and he was carrying her through the threshhold. He dropped her under the tree, and slipped his hand to the small over her back, the other his linked through her fingers, humming an almost silent song, he moved her to dance with him, under the stars.

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie blushed as he carried her out of the water. His warm skin warmed her bare back. She was watching his movements, but it still took her a while to figure out they were dancing. A sport that was not her best. She smiled up at him then laid her head on his warm, bare chest. "What did you mean?" She asked, her voice quiet and curious.

[Tadd Levingstein]

He smiled and laughed. He didn't know what he meant, it was just something to say. And now this was just a way to be romantic. His movements were never in sinc when he thought, he just thought, 1. make joke. 2. be romantic. 3. win girl over. and it had always worked. Emmie was the first to question him, and he liked it, he liked a challenge.
He shook his head back in forth not knowing what to say. He just kissed the top of her head, holding it for an extra few seconds just to bring in the smell of her.

"You know, when my parents died, my grandparents told me that every star was just one time they would never get to say 'I love you' again. But they still meant it no matter what, every time they didn't get to say it, it would shine there for me to see they really cared. You know? There are billions of stars in that sky tonight." He paused looking at the bright sky, it was scattered with stars.
He stopped dancing and pushed her chin up so she could seen them too, but he would still be in her line of vision.

"I just want you to know, I love you more then all those stars, even if I don't get to say it half as much."

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie blushed deeply. She didn't really know what to say. She stood on her tip toes and kissed him on his lips. "I would say that I love you too, but that would be like comparing the beauty of a single snowflake, to a powered landscape that is untouched... If that makes any sense." She blushed again. Her brain was tied up, unable to make sense of things. "The sky is beautiful tonight. Better than any I have seen so far." She looked up at him smiling. "That is part of the reason why you can usually find me out here at night.' She kept her gaze locked on him.

[Tadd Levingstein]

Tadd smiled.
"What are the other reasons you endanger yourself in the forrest when you could just lie on the roof?"

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie winced. "Experience.?" She shrugged. "It is good for me to meet as many... things as possible. That and I have a good friend who lives in the forest. He teaches me a lot of things, and I teach him things that I can in return. I am surprised he hasn't come out yet actually. He usually keeps a close eye on me. Uh... his name is Tarn, he is a centaur. It also feels more like home too me. I miss my mountains." She sighed and looked into the forest, wondering if she would glimpse those familiar eyes, but she didn't seem them. "Would you rather I go with the boring roof routine?"

[Tadd Levingstein]

"Truthfully." He nodded. "I would rather have you safe in my arms rather then running around the Forbidden Forest at night. Next time we talk you might be half werewolf, part spider and be growing a tail. Now if you just caught one of the three we'de be fine, but I have a hunch you wouldn't stop after just being bitten a few times." He laughed.

"Next time promise your taking me with you."

[Emmie Damselfly]

Emmie thought about that for a moment. She would love to say that she promises, but she often forgot. "If I remember, and you are awake, then I promise." She blushed.

((Emmie is already in the woods, probably three days after this night....So I guess I could start a thread for before... dk what do you think?))
