A few tropical islands I wished up. Well, ienzo, Gabriel and me. They had some animal suggestions.

[devoutish]

Anything man-eating?

[furgood]

Unclear. Probably not on the smaller islands. I think Ienzo didn't have the same fear of injury and death that has kept me alive this long because I'm sure that drake he talked about is bigger than I imagined.

[devoutish]

A drake - is that some sort of lizard? A dragon?

[are they or are they not going to see a dragon]

[furgood]

I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of dragons. Most because I didn't get a good look.

[devoutish]

Scaly? Green? Ten feet tall?

[furgood]

Don't know honestly. I saw one fly overhead. [Hums and shrugs]

[devoutish]

[He leans in, closer to hear ear, and whispers:]

Let's look for it.

[He'd like to see a dragon, okay.]

[furgood]

[Grin ] No pouting if this thing is not what you imagined.

[devoutish]

Can you picture me pouting, Meulin?

[furgood]

I don't know, I can imagine a bunch of things. I think it wouldn't be so much pouting as raised eyebrows and shaking your head.

[devoutish]

[He tries to look at her sternly, but a smile creeps up anyway, and he slows a little so he can lean over and peck her on the lips.]

Yeah. That I do.

[furgood]

[Brilliant grin] See, I can imagine it purrfectly. Now come on, if you want to go dragon searching, we should get going.

[devoutish]

We're going, we're going.

[He bumps his shoulder into hers as they walk.]

Impatient.

[furgood]

I've wanted to take you sailing forever. I wanted to show you the crystals, they glow at night, but I can manage dinner. I'll take you for that another time.

[She's practically bunching as she winds her way through the trees and dunes ]

[devoutish]

We can stay out past dark.

[He follows, hand on her arm.]

It's gonna be a late dinner, remember?

[furgood]

Fair. [Hums and points to the sailboat pulled up nearest the boardwalk] Green mast, that's mine. Or. I've claimed it as mine. Already have some food, water, a few other things.

[devoutish]

Have you been spending nights away from the village?

[furgood]

...Some of them. [She twists a curl around her finger] It's so easy to just bring a blanket, few pillows. The island with the lagoon has a few buildings on it.

[devoutish]

And wonderful views, I'd wager.

[They're coming up on the dock now, and he slows, letting her go ahead first.]

[furgood]

Beautiful views. [Wistful ] Makes me wish phones worked so I could keep up with people out there. Course, I'd still have to come get you.

[She starts to pull at the various ropes and gestures him to take a seat ] But I think you'd love it...

[devoutish]

[He sits, but a little awkwardly, as if he isn't sure how exactly he should be doing this. By way of explanation, he offers:]

I haven't often been in sailboats.

[furgood]

Just sit there. [Little smile] I'll show you how to get under way some other time. Or you can try to watch and learn.

[She angles the sail into the wind and ties down the line. Leaning down, she picks up the oar and pushes it down and off the sand, away from the shore]

[devoutish]

Don't let me do anything to tip us over.

[He's happy to watch, though, curling his fingers around the underside of his seat and holding on as they shove off.]

[furgood]

You won't. [She promises, but her attention is focused on getting onto the open sea. The breakers involve a bit of up and down and a wave crashes half on them.] Hey--[Shakes her hair and sputters ] Uncalled for.
