"I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I just… never really had a chance to enjoy the little things like that." Andion said with a shrug.

"Well, this is one of the few things I remember from my childhood, so I think I can understand that," Blaine said softly.

"I don't think I ever asked you about your family or childhood, do you care to tell me a little? You don't have to, but I'm just curious." Andion said, looking over at Blaine.

"You're going to think I've had a terrible life," Blaine chuckled. "But I'll tell you. Um… Well, I never met my father; he and my mother were never married… And then my mother left me with my grandparents when I was seven, so I grew up with them. And then they passed away, so… Yeah. I don't really have any family."

"I'm so sorry about that, but at least you got to spend some time with your grandparents at least." Andion replied, sighing a little.

"Which is more than some people can say, I know… What about you? You haven't told me much about your life. Would you? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to," Blaine said with a shrug, moving so that she was vertical in the water.

Andion rubbed his face, "I never knew my parents, or any of my family for that matter. They left me at the guild when I was little. All I know about them, was that they were… slave traders and I had an older brother and sister."

"So that's why you were so upset about those papers," Blaine mused softly.

Andion nodded, "Yup… Thranrion knows about my parents and… how I'm sensitive about it and yet he still went ahead and signed them and and…" He took a breath to calm himself.

"Hey, it's iver now. That guy is dead and the papers are gone," Blaine said gently as she swam a bit closer to him. She kissed his cheek before speaking again. "You don't have to worry about it anymore."

Andion smiled at her thankfully, "I know. But there's still people out there in that business, my parents for example," He sighed and shook his head a little, "Anyway, it doesn't matter know. A couple trades are finished so that's good enough for me, for now."

"Maybe that can be something that we do when we get away from here," Blaine suggested. "Get a group together and stop the slave trade."

Andion smiled, "That sounds like a good idea. At least we won't be bored then, still get some action."

"Yes, there will definitely be plenty of action if we do that," Blaine chuckled.

Andion sighed, "We can think on it." He flipped over onto his stomach and swam under the water.

Blaine hummed in agreement before turning onto her back again. She closed her eyes as she just floated peacefully in the water, warmed by the sun.

(Blaine: floating peacefully
Andion: scares her or tickles her or something
Blaine: glares and gives him the silent treatment for all of five minutes)

(Me: maniacal laughter)

Andion popped up from the water quietly, only his eyes showing above the water and swam up behind Blaine carefully as to not alert her to his presence. Once there, he grinned,

"BOO!"

Blaine jumped and went underwater for a moment. When she surfaced, she turned to face Andion and glared at him. She spit the water she had gotten in her mouth at him, looking very annoyed and ticked off.

Andion laughed, "Too easy." He grinned, "Alright I'm sorry I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Blaine glared at him a moment longer before silently going underwater. She wouldn't be speaking to him for a while… She hated being startled.

"Aw… come on Blaine I'm sorry." Andion said, swimming under the water with her.

I wonder how long I can convince him I'm upset…

Blaine shook her head at him and swam away, resurfacing a few feet away.

Andion swam after her, "Pleeease forgive me?"

Blaine turned to face him a bit. She pursed her lips and glared, shaking her head before diving back underwater.

Andion pouted before swimming after her, "Blaaaaine, pleeeease?"
