And then I saw you

[Valo]

[Welcome Draco :3]

It was a chilly and windy day. The beach was empty, apparently no one wanted to visit the beach on a day like this. The waves were crashing against the rocks, as they barged from the sea. The waterline went back and forth, and the sand was rolling with the waves. It looked like they were dancing! It was a perfect place for a young man, who loved the sea, and hated big crowds. He was sitting by the shore, barefoot, playing with water. He moved his hands softly trough the air making the water spin, and after that he made the water turn to mist. The mist was hard to control, and soon the wind won and grabbed the tiny drops with it. They flew across the air until they disappeared back to the sea. Eddie closed his eyes, tried to feel the water's energy and made some waves, that were getting bigger every time.

It didn't take long before he was getting tired after practicing for so many hours. He felt tiny drops of sweat on his forehead, even though the weather wasn't hot at all. He decided to finish today's practice, and wanted to go for a swim. He stood up and verified, that he was alone. Then he took off his clothes, the green shirt and brown trousers, and threw them on top off his shoes. His body was skinny, but he was really trying to gain some muscle. But believe it or not, he was pretty strong!

Quickly he ran to the water, and dived. The water was cold, but at least it was refreshing. Eddie dived few times and even found a beautiful shell from the bottom of the sea. He grabbed it in his arm, and closed his fingers around it. When he got back to the surface, he viewed the horizon and smiled. Today was a good day.

Then he turned around, facing the shore. Soon his smile faded, when he noticed, that he wasn't alone. There was A GIRL standing on the beach.

[Sorry.. that was awful :-D Im actually a pretty good writer.. sometimes. But not today apparently.]

Sharlee had left Doeshe further along the beach before she wandered off alone. The dragon would find her, he always did. Her long purple hair whipped about in the sea breeze and her fingers were tugging at her sleeves, pulling them down her arm as she walked. Her boots sunk into the sand and the unfamiliar sound of splashing was heard. What was that?

Slowly she turned towards the water to look out and she saw...

Was that a person?

"Hang on!" No! They couldn't be in trouble! Sharlee stared at the body in the water, not processing that maybe they were swimming. Still, the cold water was a shock and still she went, swimming as fast as her arms could drag her through the water. After a mouthful of ocean water she sputtered and finally got closer. He was simply bobbing there, looking sort of horrified.

"Y-y-you're not drowning at all!" It was an accusation and she splashed water at him.

[Valo]

Eddie was shocked. He was naked, and there was this extremely beautiful lady swimming towards him. He wanted to drown now and be drifted away by the water. Or something. Help.

The girl reached him, and looked astonished. She had thought that he was drowning! Geez.. She splashed water at him, and Eddie raised his hand to cover his eyes. Eddie was blushing. He wiped his face, and splashed some water back at her.
"No, I wasnt drowning, if that's what you thought!" he said smiling slyly.

She was beautiful. Her long purple her was on a braid, and her eyes were shining. He had never seen so purple eyes! And, to be honest, her body wasn't bad either. That's when he remembered again that he was still naked.
"Umm.. So, do you mind if we swim to the shore? The water is very cold. I don't want you to get sick", he said and smiled politely. He started to swim towards the shore, looking at his pile of clothes. This was so awkward for him, but she didn't seem to mind swimming with a naked young man.

When he had reached the shore, he walked fast to his clothes and took this pants. The wind blew and made him shiver, while he was trying to put the trousers on. It wasn't an easy task because he's body was still wet. Finally, he turned to the girl.
"Thanks tho, that was really nice of you. I'm Edomár by the way, but you can call me Eddie", he said and gave her his hand. He put on his shirt, which made him feel instantly warmer. The girl didn't have any dry clothes, and he could see that he was feeling cold.

"Can I dry up your clothes?" he asked and lifted his hands. "If I may?" He weaved his hands gently across the air, and the water was gone. The clothes were dry again.

[Draconian]

Sharlee didn't want her to get sick either but she nodded and swam to shore. After they reached shore she politely averted her gaze so she didn't see anything he didn't want her too. Slowly she unbraided her hair and sighed, looking down at the purple mess. Here she was thinking she was going to do a good deed and instead she just get salt watered. Sharlee gave the man a peek to see if he was dressed and sure enough he was.

"Edomár?" Sharlee smiled at him before nodding her head, her wet hair sticking to her face and her body. She gave a shiver and wrapped her arms around her torso, "It's nice to meet you Eddie. I'm Sharlee." Behind her was a noise and there was a dragon about the size of a horse playing on the beach like a dog. "That is Doeshe."

"Please do." She spread her arms and she stared down at her dry clothes, that was a neat little trick, "Does it get rid of the salt too? Oh, can you do that to my hair?" Her bright purple eyes were excited while she looked at him, a silly grin on her face. The lingering chill from the ocean still gave her the goosebumps but the instantly dry clothes were... well a charm really.

[Valo]

"Sorry, the salt isn't going anywhere", Eddie said grinning. "But turn around, so I can dry your lovely locks." Again, he lifted his left arm and whirled it around. He would have looked like a moron, but just as before, the water turned to mist from his touch, and flew away. He lowered his had and smiled.
"There you go. But you still have to wash them today. The salt is annoying as always."

"Hi Doeshe", he said and walked towards the the dragon. It was white, but it's feet were muddy and sandy. It didn't seem to bother it, because it was jumping around having fun.
"He's so remarkably lively. I've always thought that dragons are grumpy and overly-proud. But this fella seems like a nice guy", he said and turned back to Sharlee.

"What brings a girl like you here? I mean the whole beach is empty, yet here we meet", Eddie said smiling again. Even though he wanted to be alone this afternoon, he was happy that Sharlee had showed up.

[Draconian]

A bright smile, still a little irritated she tried to save someone who didn't need saving. At least she was dry even if her clothing and hair were crusted with salt. That would chafe. Sharlee wasn't looking forward to chafing. Doeshe made a little noise in greeting and went about his playing business. Sharlee looked from the dragon to the man, Eddie.

"He's just a baby," She said, smiling, "He can barely talk. Gets his words all mixed up, he's still learning." She looked around, the beach was indeed empty. Another smile was giving to this man and she pushed her hair behind her ears and pressed her hands to her hips, taking a deep breath. "We're going to go traveling again, I figured we'd take one last visit to the ocean before headed inland and having to go through mountains."

Sharlee turned from looking out at the horizon towards Eddie, a bright smile on her face, "And your self? Besides skinny dipping, which I apologize for interupting, you know you could have simply told me to leave you alone. I didn't mean to bother you."

[Valo]

Eddie checked out the girl when she lifted her arms to her hips and turned sideways. Her dress [?] was now tight, so that Eddie could see her curves better. He hadn't noticed the perfect body before, when her clothes were wet and stuck to her skin, HOW? Eddie gulped and lifted his gaze fast, before she turned back at him.
"Traveling? Wow.. I wish I could travel. I mean, I have a job and duties". He said and gave her a quick sad smile. "But well, it's the lifestyle that I've chosen."

Sharlee then asked what was he doing on the beach.
"No, no! You are not bothering, not at all! Actually I was practicing my magic before", he said. "I come here often. It takes about an hour to walk here from my home, but it's so worth it. The ocean is beautiful and not even a little fall of rain can change that fact." Eddie crossed his arms in front of him. "And to be honest, I didn't mind skinny dipping and being interrupted by such a beautiful lady."

"I'm planning to head back home. Maybe I could escort you a little while? There is only one road leading here, so it would be awkward to walk few hundred meters apart", he said smiling and really hoped, that Sharlee would join him. He would gladly get to know her a little better.

[Draconian]

Not only was her dress now tight, it as itchy and uncomfortable. All for naught. Sharlee didn't even get to feel like a hero! "We travel because we..." Sharlee looked towards Doeshe and smiled, "He's my home, so... We go and we trade! Our things are at an inn in town." A bright smile to Eddie and she plucked at her dress.

Sharlee actually laughed. "Well, I hope no future skinny dipping experiences are ruined by beautiful ladies! Or you'll never get a chance to swim!" A smile and she tucked her arms behind her back and began to walk, "Of course you can escort me. Doeshe will follow along, but he'll get into... Whatever he wants." She gathered her hair over her shoulder to finger comb it, "Gods know I can't control him. He's just starting to talk, but he's practically a giant puppy."

[Valo]

[Sorry.. been busy searching my inspiration. But now I'm back if you still want to keep on going :)]

"That sounds cool. I mean.. to travel is to live. Interesting thought, but I like it." Eddie smiled and started to walk along the road. "And really, that was actually the best skinny dipping surprise that I've had. Seeing you there was like seeing--" suddenly he felt ashamed and shut up. "Well, it was fun", he said quickly. He wanted to say something like "you looked like an angel" but that would've been nasty. She would've freaked out, he was sure of it. Why was is so hard to not sound like a creep? Why were other men so good with women, but he didn't know the right words? Well actually he hadn't spoken to many girls before.

"I'm sorry if I seem weird. I'm not used to talking to beautiful girls. They mix my thoughts and I don't know how to act or talk", he said honestly. Somehow it felt so easy to talk to Sharlee. "So, I was just wondering, if we could hang out someday? Or maybe even today if you don't have anything special? But don't worry, if you do have, that's not a problem, we can go some other day or then-- Oh, look? I'm doing it again. Sorry", he said but this time he was able to grin. "Would you like to have dinner with me today?"
