Emmaline smiled to Aaron at his suggestion of making new memories. "Yes, that is a very good idea," she said, sighing softly while resting her head on his shoulder. She closed her eyes blissfully and took a deep breath of the salty air. It was a perfect night.

Emmaline brought her head up and looked to Aaron, noticing his soft smile. "Are you thinking about your travels?" she questioned softly. Emma knew she would never end up leaving London despite her wild dreams. There was too much holding her back, even her wildest desires would not be able to break the chains of her existence. And even then, a mortal life would never give her enough time to fully appreciate the world's beauty.

She smiled warmly to herself, sadden slightly by this thought. Gently she released his arm and stepped forward to the edge of the doc to lean against the railing and peer out to the world beyond. It seemed so wild and untamed, perhaps that was why her heart was drawn to it. Carefully she bent forward and cupped the precious water with her hands, a calm smile painted on her lips. "I may not be a traveler like you, but I still can escape to the world. The oceans all connected and mingle together, flowing as one body as well as individual droplets. What I hold in my hand now could have once brushed against the shores of Africa or been swallowed by a dolphin. The options are endless when you think about it really. When I was younger, I once put a bottled note into the sea just to see where it would go. I never received an answer, of course, but part of me went off with it."

Emmaline smiled, her eyes gazing longingly into the distance. All at once her grin grew as she twisted to Aaron, returning to his side quickly and taking his hand with her own. "Let's go for a swim," she said, laughing, attempting to pull him with her.
