The Return (Private; Arkhor)

First topic message reminder :

Tides. They seemed to almost be ingrained within Asailia's mind at this point, nearly instinctive. The rise and fall of the waves was her heartbeat, and the flow and ebb of the tides was her breath. Her entire being was a state of calm, a pure peace that even the emotions of the fish around her couldn't break.

She didn't regret leaving the SeaWings as she had. She'd been around others for far too long, she'd needed a release from the pent up emotion she'd gathered. Plus, she'd needed to control her own, more difficult emotions. Her time among the water hadn't just cleared her emotions, and helped her reach an understanding and a decision with herself, it had aided her in her true sense of the sea, and the beings that lived in it. Asailia was in tune with the heart of it all, so much so that when she crawled out of the water, she stumbled a moment, unsteady on legs not used to walking on land any longer. The thump of her body against the stone was also unfamiliar; it seemed so loud on ears used to the sound of water.

Asailia stilled for a moment, letting her body simply lay, half on rock and half in water. She let herself take a rest that she in no way needed, and then moved once more, heaving herself up onto the rock, water streaming down her scales, all of which glistened in the low light of the cave. Smiling in relief at no longer having to constantly swim, she flopped back onto the cave floor, wings spreading wide to dry out, and paws splaying to the sides.

Sighing in relief he nodded and agreed, "Well.. I will have to show you" he chuckled as his paw lifted out of the water and aimed above them both, within moments droplets of water lifted above them all in random locations. Slowly they turned into fireflys giving off a warm yellow glow lighting up the area around them. "See.. We don't see many of these little guys around here, though I think their perfect." smiling as he gazed towards Asailia moving a little closer wrapping his tail against hers.
