Snippet #1919005

Kale laughed as Anne jumped in, and exclaimed that it was cold. He then dove beneath the surface of the water, feeling the monster-bug's blood leave him, and melt off into the water. He gave a peaceful sigh as he emerged.

He thought to himself that he would never have been able to do something like this before... The smile on his face only grew. He felt so... free, so able to do anything he could ever want. He wondered why people always so wanted to be royalty. Girls wanted to be princesses, boys wanted to be princes. Their parents though that if they could be the king and queen the world would be a better place. They had no idea. They thought that happiness would come from power, and high status. When true happiness was in freedom. And royals had anything but freedom.

He let himself just float in the water for a minute, before getting a sly smile of his face. He imagined getting into a water flight with her. He thought all it would take was one good splash in the face, as it was on. But he didn't want to start one if she didn't want to. He glanced over at Anne, seeing her look up at the sky. He looked up too. the sky was darkening, clouds gathered ominously, forecasting rain.

"Looks like it'll rain soon." He said quietly. "Oh well, can't get much more wet than we already are, can we?" He chuckled. Kale couldn't help but let his eyes wander back to Anne. She looked quite attractive in her camisole. He mentally told himself to shut up.

Kale drifted towards the more shallow part of the lake, and let his hands sink into the soft grains of sand. He felt something hard, and cold. Curious, he picked it up, letting the sand slowly fall to the sea floor. It was a ruby. Interesting... HE thought,. It was about the size two off his thumbs combined. "Curious..." He mumbled. "Hey Anne... What do you think of this?" He asked, standing up, and walking through the water towards her.

{{OOC: Sorry if I shouldn't, but I'm gonna try and kinda get us started on an adventure, and a side plot. Just so we have a direction to go, a mission to complete, and more challenges than just the fact that they're running from the kingddoms. :)}}
