He couldn't help but just be happy around her, maybe it was just a vibe she carried around with her. She was a mermaid, after all. She made the remark about kissing, and he felt that strange feeling of red come to his face once more, but all he offered was a shrug. He couldn't help but smile further at her story. He imagined an Alannah, maybe just six or seven years old, trying to explain eggs on the floor. "You should practice more now, if you have a goal, you can always reach it. And, I have just a slight feeling that you were a little bit younger when you last tried." He teased, continuing to walk with her. Her flood of happiness and excitement left him with the widest kind of grin on his face. It was as though she could literally bend his feelings of happiness and joy with just her being alone. He tucked her fondness for peaches in the back of his head.<br/><br/>"'Course I do." He replied as simply as that when it came to liking dogs. "I like all kinds of animals. I used to live with horses, cows, hens, and pigs, Alannah." He was always happy to think of the happy days of home. The place was literally a safe haven made just for him to be raised in. "Sadly though, we never had a dog." Dimitri said, he was now trapped in one of his rambling thoughts of home. "My dad though, he always talked about his old dog. Said he was the most loyal subject a person could ever ask for. More loyal than a best friend or a brother even." Dimitri mindlessly quoted his father on the subject. "Every single time I ever mentioned a dog, he'd say we had no hunting to do and no sheep to herd. I can only assume now that he didn't budge because I'm a, well, you know. Or maybe he just didn't want another responsibility with so much on his hands already." Dimitri noted.<br/><br/>"Betty sounds nice." Dimitri said. He imagined an old mellow dog, the kind of one that would cuddle up to a stranger. "Of course, I'm makin' a whole mental image from just a name. What's she like?" He asked, gently pulling her forward with him. He enjoyed spending this time with her, he really did. He didn't feel exactly the same as last night, maybe it was because he was alone with her? Or maybe it was the water? It didn't feel and worse, it just wasn't the same. He still had this feeling in his chest, where he just wanted to kiss her and make sure she kept a smile on her face. It almost confused him in a way. Of course, he decided he'd figure it out, as he walked beside her.
