Kavash listened intently to the way the Cerise stumbled over her words.  He could hear the nervousness in her tone and the uncertainty in her words.  He knew those aspects of courtship very well, he had learned many many times how strange and awkward and overwhelming they could be.  He smiled, the thin twist of a grin curled up at the edges of his mouth as he took a sip of his wine.  He could see Cerise trying to watch him but also try to avert her eyes in fear of catching a glimpse that would make her lose control.<br/><br/>"I was simply thinking how angelic you might look swimming in the nearby cove, with the setting sun glittering across the water and shimmering off of your soft wet naked skin."  His grin grew a bit in size, "of course I'd hate to think you never learned how to swim, nor had any desire to swim naked on an island in the middle of nowhere with a man you barely know."  Taking another sip of wine, helped to hide the mischievous grin on his face as he pulled the glass away and slid another olive slowly over his open lips into his mouth.
