As Maddi got into the shallow water she unstrapped the fish, washing off the few larger scales which has stuck, roughened on her side, transferring the weight of the fish to her shoulder, the belt a godsend she thought. She'd only just managed to swim with it and now, she felt tired, really tired.  It was only morning, but whether it was an after effect from yesterday or that her new found love was wearing her out she didn't know, but even her legs felt all wobbly and she had to try hard to keep her smile on her face in response  to his quirky humour.  She loved how lighthearted he was, how even in between each teasing word his voice was laced with tenderness, as if his heart was speaking too.  She could feel the chuckle inside, but right now it was too dam hard to stay upright, what a weakling, she thought.<br/><br/>As she heard Kira's voice and eventually her befuddled brain worked out exactly what was going on in camp she turned, the impetus nearly throwing her to the ground altogether.  She held her free hand out to Elijah, lacing her fingers into his, "I think we are decidedly '<em>de trop</em>' my dear" she managed to walk along the treeline a little, "Let just sit in the shade for a bit and wait until the coast is clear, " she said softly, sinking gratefully down onto the sand and letting the fish lay on the ground beside her.  She really did feel decidedly queer she thought, closing her eyes for a moment, waiting for her world to right itself again.<br/><br/>As the dizziness washed away she opened her eyes and smiled at Elijah, "I just realised I left my clothes down on the rocks, all that penis envy must have distracted me," she lay back on the sand, looking up at the softly waving palm fronds, "But to be honest I really don't care, it's like a garden of Eden............  paradise...............Clothes seem almost irrelevant"
