<strong>The Tourist Beach</strong>- A nervous NPC Cindy Forsythia<br/><br/>Cindy had been enjoying running around and letting the waves hit her. During her time in the water she had gotten herself fully soaked as she was swimming in the deeper water. Back at the shore she had found a living starfish and it clung to her palm so hard she could barely get it off. The feeling made her laugh but she didn't throw it back when she saw a man with dark hair approaching her client.<br/><br/>Becoming concerned that she was in trouble, Cindy ran up the beach as the white sand clung to her small feet. It seemed that Richard was here, which was a relief, though having any member of the family around was nerve wracking it didn't make any difference as far as getting caught breaking the rules. Marco and Maria had eyes all over this island and there was no getting away with anything. Perhaps they didn't like the way she was behaving or perhaps Richard had come here on his own accord. Cindy took a second to catch her breath as Richard spoke to the tourist. There were gulls around, a few flies, and the starfish she was holding.<br/><br/>Cindy wouldn't dare challenge Richard, but the way he was speaking of his family to a tourist bordered on treason and most likely Marco and Maria would know every word of it. Richard was sort of the black sheep of the family, but there was something scary about him nonetheless. If Cindy would have heard Jasmine's suggestion that he take her she would have fainted. Cindy didn't want to be experimented on.<br/><br/><br/>"Master Richard," Cindy said, "I'm doing my duty to help the<em>tourist</em>enjoy her vacation. Is there anything I can do for you or any suggestions you have for me?"<br/><br/>Cindy was trembling, only once before had she spoken directly to a Xantelli and it wasn't something she was experienced with or preferred to do. Her other bosses were much easier to deal with. The little emphasis on tourist was to help remind him that it was not polite custom to force a high paying tourist into slavery. But mostly, she didn't want her easy going partner taken away from her.
