<strong>Name:</strong>Vainrence the Shadow<br/><strong>Current Form:</strong>Human<br/><strong>Players Nearby:</strong>Xynoqsezoia<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Coastline<br/><br/>Vain was still grinning widely when Noqs popped back up, even more so at her words.  t was beyond pleasant to hear the joyful sound of a human's speech, especially when made by a exceedingly lovely member of his own kind.   Sinking a little further in the water, just to be safe, Vain opened up his mouth to make a pithy comment when his eyes noted rather clearly that Noqs was in much shallower water now and moving in very interesting ways.  It was a testament to the time spent among the humans that Vain was unable to tear his eyes away for several seconds, and there was a decided redness to his tone once he met the females eyes again, even if his grin did not falter in the least.<strong>"Oh you are quite, quite welcome Noqs.  In fact, know that I mean it whole heartedly when I say anytime."</strong><br/><br/>As Noqs drew closer, Vain made a concerted and mostly successful effort to keep his eyes locked onto hers.<strong>"Why thank you Noqs.  Like I said, I've grown rather accustomed to it over the years.  Pales in comparison of course, but it does have its uses."</strong>As Noqs splashed down next to him, Vain turned his head to meet her playful expression, scooting closer along the warm sand to bump his rougher hip against her softer curve.<strong>"You are certainly right about the company though.  It would seem I am rather lucky in that regard!"</strong>Vain began, although the splashing that followed soon had him gasping in mock shock.<br/><br/><strong>"A sneak attack!  I should have known!"</strong>He cried, moving closer and reaching out to take Noqs by the shoulders.<strong>"You should be careful there, my dear!"</strong>Vain said with a laugh, his plan of attack clear as he pushed down slightly, lifting himself a tiny fraction from the water while pushing the female a little lower.<strong>"I am not adverse to dunking you again....but let it not be said that Vain is without mercy.  If you surrender now, I shall let you off easy..."</strong>He continued, utterly unable to keep from laughing at his silly proclamation.
