Jackson leaned back against the tree and stared up at the branches,
becoming lost in thought.
she smiled and sat it down on the bank.
''there's a whole bunch of them, even sand dollars and those weird
ancient creature shell's'' she said.
~~~~~
Nathan grinned and pulled his talon's away.
he looked down at himself and thought for a moment, sighing shakily
as he closed his eye's and tried to change to his human form.
Nathan slowly shrank and so did the bandaging, the wounds, and the
stitches.
his eye's shot open and he gripped both his neck and arm carefully,
cursing mildly under his breathe.
Jackson jumped and his face lit up a bright red as he looked down
at Ryan, a bit surprised.
''well... um.. it seem's like the girl the serpent guy is carrying
has one...'' Serenity mumbled.
~~~~~
he coughed up a bit of blood and gritted his teeth.
''this might've been a mistake....'' he muttered, his voice
strained now.
he laughed a little and leaned down, kissing him on the
forehead.
''your such a goofy chimera'' Jackson said.
''oh.... it was just a suggestion'' she said.
~~~~~
''i-i'll.. be fine.... just.... need to let my body cope with the
pain...!'' he coughed, trembling now as the pain from his neck and
arm shot through his body.
he stuck his tongue out at Ryan and huffed, blushing faintly before
he kissed him.
Serenity nodded and dived back down to find some more buried shells
and any fossils.
~~~~~
''i-i just w-w-wanted to get out of that f-form.... t-that way i
could be a-able to give you kisses...'' Nathan mumbled, looking up
at her as tear's filled his eye's, smiling weakly up at her.
Jackson smiled and laughed a little after he broke away from the
kiss, blushing a bit more.
Serenity had managed to bring up a couple fossils and a few shells,
as well as some sand dollars.
''the sand dollars were a kind of currency where i used to live''
she said, picking one of the sand dollar's up.
~~~~~
Nathan released his bad arm and shakily reached up and gently
cupped her cheek.
he laughed and smiled.
''like i said, your being a goof Ryan'' Jackson teased.
she nodded and smiled.
~~~~~
''p-please don't cry.... i'm not dying Bailey... i-i just really
hurt right now...'' Nathan assured, trying to cheer her up.
''the more valuable sand dollars were so pretty and kept as
trinkets rather than actual currency, pearly white sand dollars....
there were also really rare crystal sand dollars i seen once when i
was just a child'' she said.
Jackson nuzzled him and chuckled.
Elizabeth groaned quietly and yawned, slowly waking up as she
rubbed her eye with one of her hand's.
~~~~~
''h-hey... shh..... it's alright...'' he mumbled, gently rubbing
her cheek with his thumb.
''i wish i had one of those pretty crystal one's though... but only
collector's with a bunch of money, sand dollar wise... are only
able to buy them cause of they're high prices... they're really
fragile too...'' she sighed, looking down at her hands.
Jackson ran his hand through his hair as he listened to him purr,
smiling happily.
Elizabeth looked up and blushed smiling a little.
''your sweet but a charmer... you do realize that right....?' she
asked, sitting up a bit in his arm's as she pecked him on the
cheek.
~~~~~
''y-yeah.... but s-some painkillers w-w-would be n-nice too.....''
he mumbled, stammering a bit more.
Serenity dove under water before Cheyenne could splash her and came
back up, grinning a bit before she did the same thing in
return.
''your blushing, it's so cute'' Elizabeth said.
~~~~~
''r-right now i w-want you h-here.... y-you could try yelling,
t-t-they couldn't have g-gone that far....'' Nathan muttered.
