"More blissful than I coulda imagined." Dimitri said, still struck by the kiss. He'd never even actually kissed another person before. Though, there was certainly no way he'd reveal that to Alannah. It was something so new, but he didn't regret it even a little. It fueled him to act on these actions he might not have in any other scenario. To not only allow someone so close to him, but to want it, was unknown to him. He'd only ever given hugs to people to give them farewells or assurance. This though, was different. He couldn't quite even figure it out for himself.<br/><br/>"The original plan was to hit the beach, and be out as soon as possible. I guess Boston just isn't my kind of town. Glamour just isn't my thing...." He said. He knew he could speak a book full of words. He could talk about his love for smaller towns and nature. Or how he knew places with more clean water. Or he could talk about other times he was in water or beaches, when he'd done it before. He'd even known a siren, one he was quite fond of. And yet, nothing came out. No words came from his mouth, he just stayed in place, her hand in his and her forehead resting against his. It was truly amazing, and he didn't want to ruin it with talk of subjects that didn't matter. At least, they didn't matter in comparison. He wanted this moment to last, for as long as possible. Her touch was something that soothed him, maybe more than the water itself even.<br/><br/>"But now, I'm thinkin'... I have to leave. But maybe I can leave much later? Or, you can maybe come with me?" He said. He'd felt this strange sense of belonging and fondness that he was uncertain of. It was very strange and<span style="font-style: italic">very</span>foreign to him. He thought about the why of it. He'd just met her after all. And yet, there was something. He knew there'd be a lot of complications, he wasn't even sure why he'd asked her to come with him. It wasn't okay to ask someone to come along with you to find your powers so that your father that abandoned you would be proud of you. But, he didn't want her to come with him because he needed her help. He just wanted her to be there, but he guessed that just wasn't going to be able to happen. She had a job. And needed to be in water. Those were things she couldn't ignore.<br/><br/>But a piece of him considered something. Did he really need to go on this search? Could he ignore it?
