<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/zxHvvH6.png)</div>Name: Nathaniel Faulkner<br/>Time:  Day 1 Afternoon<br/>Location: Ecchi Island Beach Zone, Sector 5, Ocean<br/>Tagging: Tessa, Open<br/>Notes/Warning: Also out to sea<br/><hr/><br/>The water was just as cool as Nathaniel had remembered from his previous surfing adventure when he had been arriving. He kept up with Tessa as she led them into the water, the crystal clear waves washing past their legs as they moved further away from the shores. It was moments like these where one had to appreciate the picturesque beauty of this place, unspoiled by civilization or the touch of man. Though he had to assume that it took a lot of work and a lot of expenses to keep it that way.<br/><br/>It was only once they came to a stop, water up to about shoulder height where there was no one particularly near them at the moment, that things shifted in tone. Certainly he made no move to stop her as her hand rose up his arm, one ending on his neck and the other on his shoulder. At the same time he decided to take his own liberties, returning with a gentle hold upon her hp and also returning the hold on his shoulder with one on hers as well. Not exactly swimming, but he would not object to it.<br/><br/>Fortunately as an assassin he had had some training in this regard, so her question did not earn obvious surprise for more than a millisecond or two. Instead an eyebrow rose as he assessed the situation and came up with a response. "Well then, your people work fast," he said aloud, not denying the assertion that had been made. Considering she had gone to the trouble of pulling him over here and out of earshot, denying it wouldn't accomplish anything.<br/><br/>Instead he shifted, brushing fingers through her soft hair as he answered. "Still, I don't see why I should give you the answer to that so easily. Having a mystery to work through for the week that I'll be here could be fun, don't you think?" He wasn't opposed to telling her, he just didn't see much of a reason to do so at this point.
