She rolled her eyes in her teasing.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"Duuuh. Who <span style="font-style: italic">else</span> would get a monkey man to kill things for them? We are the masters of just killing things for no reason. I took care of the mouse problem, remember?"</span><br/><br/>Where this sass was coming from, she didn't know. Aiko just knew that she was enjoying it. He was dishing it right back out as well. It just made things more perfect in her mind. A grin lit up her face as she wrinkled her nose towards Tarrok. Her eyes were still big and bright though. Then he tickled and that was shot all to hell. Aiko giggled and tried to push away from it. Her smile made the sunlight seem dull compared to her brightness.<br/><br/><span style="color: mediumpurple">"Well, I don't want to live celibate. So, you should just put that thought out in space right now,"</span>she muttered under her breath a bit. It was certainly loud enough for him to hear, but her face was turning even redder.<span style="color: mediumpurple">"If there was ever a time I wanted to leave, it came and passed such a long time ago. My heart will forever be yours, Tarrok. Nothing in the world could ever make me forget how I feel when I'm with you. I love everything about you."</span><br/><br/>She did not like being so distant from him in the water. Aiko pulled herself against him again. Her hands shifted up his arms to his shoulders. Without hesitation, her arms slipped around his neck. Her lips met his without hesitation or uncertainty.<span style="font-style: italic">I love this man. I love him so much.</span>
