Amora couldn't help but blush. Midnight was acting so much different now than he was when they first met. She on the other hand was uncertain of it all. Could she bring herself to love him? He cared for her, that much was clear, but she was uncertain of her own feelings. She pulled off her dress, leaving her slip on to cover most of her body from anyone who might see. She wasn't about to go skinny dipping in broad daylight. Sticking a toe in the crystal clear water, her skin prickled with goose bumps from the coolness, but she continued in until she was waist deep. Fish swam around her legs, which ignited a memory. She smiled as she remembered what some of the village boys would do when they were down by the creek without any fishing equipment.<br/><br/>Leaning over just enough so she could watch the water, she waited for a big enough fish to swim near, then her hand darted in after it with a splash. The fish swam off, startled but otherwise alright. Amora stuck her tongue out of her mouth a bit, trying again with another fish. Suddenly, its dorsal fin brushed against her palm, breaking the skin. "Ow!" She pulled her hand out, sucking on the bleeding flesh near the thumb.<br/><br/>Slowly she made her way back to where Shadow was, sitting down far enough away from him that he couldn't reach her with the chains, but close enough so they could talk. She didn't notice that the part of the tree the chains were connected to were rotted somewhat. "Where did you come from?" she asked, cocking her head to the side, leaning her hands on her knees, not even recalling the blood trickling down the wet skin.
