After the Storm v.2

[Kornelia]

Shadow smiled at him.

Spike swam towards her slowly.

[Malcasia]

After a moment, Rage stood up with her in his arms and started back toward the house.


Halo watched Spike, her head tilting to the side a little, the small smirk still on her face as she leaned back in the water, her arms still rested on the edge of the spring, her eyes focused on him through the small threads of steam that billowed up around her.

[Kornelia]

Spike caught her and began to tickle her.

Shadow smiled, kissed him, and backed away, growing her own pair of wings.

[Malcasia]

Halo laughed, trying to worm away, pushing against his chest with her hands.


Rage smiled and watched her, his own wings stretching out behind him and beating once.

[Kornelia]

Shadow smiled and jumped, wings flapping, keeping her over the ground.

[Malcasia]

Rage leaped into the air, beating his wings once against the ground to push himself further into the air, smiling at Shadow.


Halo continued to try to get away, poking Spike in the ribs.

[Kornelia]

Shadow smiled as they got higher.

Spike smiled and began to laugh, tickling her more.

[Malcasia]

Rage reached out and snatched Shadow briefly by the shoulders with a gentle grip, kissing her before giving her a small grin, beating his wings once after letting her go, flying so he was on his back, his arms crossed under his head.

Halo screeched and reached down to grab Spike's hands, trying to pull them away from her.

[Kornelia]

Spike laughed and let her go.

Shadow smiled at him.

[Malcasia]

Halo watched Spike when he let her go, still giggling as she swam backwards in the water. After a moment, she climbed out and wrung the water from her hair, watching him closely for a second before turning her back to him to pull her soaked shirt off and ring the water out of it.

Rage smiled back, watching Shadow a moment before giving her a daring grin.
