<div style="text-align: justify;">She yawned again, letting out a stream of bubbles as she let herself be pulled underwater. <span style="color: #4080FF">"Stay if ya want to."</span> She was too sleepy by now to give him much more than a neutral response. <span style="color: #4080FF">"I've been up for twennyfoah hours, Dimitri. 'course I'm tired."</span> Her eyes had drifted shut, and she opened one to look at him. <span style="color: #4080FF">"Ya a country boy, ya'd know, right?"</span><br/><br/>Funny how he'd all but chased her tiredness away during the time they'd been out here. She had barely noticed until now, when it all came crashing down on her. She had to admit, she was incredibly jealous of him. Being able to just - freeze your needs while in the ocean? She'd give her right arm for that. Well, maybe not the whole arm, but a couple of fingers, at least. She snuggled up against him, only half awake, with an arm around his neck and the other tagging along limply. <br/><br/>She didn't really have the energy to let go once they reached the bottom, but she somehow forced herself to slide away from him to lie on her stomach. She rested her head on her folded arms and looked at him sideways. <span style="color: #4080FF">"Remembah those tulips."</span> Alannah grinned faintly, a shadow of her usual wide smile. Secretly, she kind of hoped he'd choose to stay with her. It would be nice to wake up to a familiar face for once. It was the last thing she saw before she drifted off to sleep.</div>
