Her nose bumped against his cheek, and joy was able to regrow. "I didn't realize you were a mermaid and a ghost hunter." Dimitri said, the pats to his back had calmed him down immensely. "The most handsome, huh?" He remarked. He slowly leaned his forehead against hers, as he got that overjoyed grin he sometimes got. It was so wide that he felt silly just looking like that, thought it didn't matter. "Alannah, ya can let go of the rock. I'll keep ya up. I promise." Dimitri said, even though it was really the water just taking orders from him and doing as he asked. He didn't speak again for a moment, he was stuck in bliss, their first kiss was lingering in his mind. He gently pressed his lips against hers for the moment, he couldn't figure out why it made him so happy. It was as though the world had zero problems when their lips were locked.<br/><br/>When his lips were gone, his forehead remained against hers. It was nice to be able to whisper to her, but to also know that it was fully audible. "Why not just stay here?" Dimitri whispered, he was stuck in the moment, and didn't want to leave for anything. There really were things he should have been tending to back in his home and more. However, Alannah was here right now, and he decided that this was his priority. "In a few hours I'll go and let my parents know I'll be sleeping out here with you tonight. If I don't let them know, m' mom's gonna think we're sneaking around in the barn." Dimitri whispered, containing the giggle in his throat. Though, flirting wasn't what was on his mind.<br/><br/>He thought carefully if he should mention it now, after all, he had several things he could try about getting Alannah under fresh water safely. But for the moment, they were alone, where nobody would hear them. And it was still eating away at his mind. "I was just thinkin'. What happened when we first got here? I saw ya suddenly stare at the floor, and it was like somethin' in ya broke. And I didn't wanna ask in front of anyone, but what happened? Are ya okay?" Dimitri whispered, concern laced his voice.
