What A Mess!

The rope finally gave way with an audible thump as the tension was relieved. As Pulren was nearly out of air, he looked back and began to ascend with powerful leg strokes toward the bell and the Konti. The surface came gradually and then he could finally inhale fresh sea air once more, looking over at his lovely swimming companion.

"A fish, what a life! Of course, until a bigger fish comes." He laughed, happy to be in such good company. He liked the slight touch to his shoulder, though he knew that would probably the most he would ever receive from S'Essy, as she was stalwart and true in her love for her man mountain. "Nah, I think we're done down there. Suits me, really." He swam over to the dock and handed off the knife, nodding in thanks to the sailors, guiding himself back over and holding the bell for support as he continued to tread water.

"I saw you looking at the bell here. It's an invention by Zeltivans, allows people to spend extended time underwater without fish parts. They can send it deeper, closer to the bottom and take turns getting air from their. A hose brings air to them." He gently tapped at the hose, unsure of its fragility. "But yeah, I appreciate your help today. Once I got over your nudity, it was just like hanging out with any other buddy!" He laughed some more and the mention of nudity made his juvenile eyes flicker back over the distorted image of her, not so clear without the goggles.

"Anything else you want to do? You probably have your man to attend to, right?"

She swam after him, as he said the work was done. They knew better than her for sure and they were surely more capable. She was climbing up to the docks to gather her clothes and took it on. Syna would quickly dry her and her dress so she didn't worry about that much. Finally the Sun, the constant raining was getting on her nerves and so much trouble it caused too. She wanted to enjoy it as much as she could. Hoped there would be no more bad weather till Fall.

As she brushed her hair to her right side with her hands, she turned to Pulren as he was explaining the bell. The Konti was right. An invention by them, so they can go deep down. Clever, they had to be to survive. Not everyone was born with gills like her. "I see. It seems a bit tight there though, I wouldn't really like it. Probably because it's really unnatural to me. Who knows?" She was smiling at him, then turned back to the sun bit. She chuckled at him. "Yeah I know, I'm sorry. Next time I try to warn you to close your eyes okay?"

Closed her eyes, because Syna was shining so bright once again. Bringing warmth and joy always. And the day was far from over, she could enjoy it more. Even without her lover, so unfortunate that he was too busy. But given his unfortunate situation, he had not much time to waste on resting. He had to search for his family and that was no playing matter.

She turned her head slightly back at Pulren again. A man she has to attend to. Not really, she didn't really know where he was and probably it was better if she left him a bit alone to deal with this. She shook her head."No, not really. You know, he is working hard to get information. " She shrugged then suddenly she knew what she wanted to do. "I think I go visit Rak'keli's shrine and I pray to Laviku. My offer still stands if you want, you can join me." And whatever answer he had, she would walk to the shrine of her gods.

Swimming came to a slow stop once more as he languished in watching her climb from the ocean and dress herself. He had no shame in his actions, only wishing to burn the image into his brain for posterity or something. "It seems a bit tight in there, though. I wouldn't really like it." His slow kicking faltered and some brackish water splashed in his eye, waking him from his boyish fantasies. She was talking about the bell, of course, so once he shook the cobwebs out, Pulren began nodding in agreement.

If anything could snap him out of his thoughts, it was her immediate and clear thoughts of her man, her explanation of his investigation adding to the bite of the breezes as they blew over the water. She would be attending to Her Gods, or God and Goddess to be proper. While the idea seemed appealing, he knew that he would only pollute the solemn occasion with his own desires and flirtations. He needed to keep his attentions focused on the tasks at hand, aiding the engineers as he was needed. Plus, he really didn't want to be murdered by the man mountain. Shaking his head and smiling, he waved at her.

"I appreciate the offer, S'Essy, but I had better keep working here. I'll definitely see you again soon." With her departure, he turned and began to swim back toward the workers, refusing to look back.
