Wren+goes+to+the+sea+with+Kale

Wren put all of their newly bought supplies down in her room and changed her clothes. She put on soft low ankle boots and a soft, gauze, pale blue dress. It was low cut and hugged her curves softly down to her hips and then tapered out. It had long flowing sleeves, tapered at the wrist to hang nearly to the floor. She added a simple, thin, hooded silk cloak. Inali followed her down the hall where they met Kale who was coming from the other way.

Wren smiled cheerfully, “Kale! I was just on my way back out… Inali and I have a little bit of extra time, so we are going to go touch the sea… I’ve been dying to see it up close. Do you want to join us?” "Certainly...it would be my pleasure to escort you mi'lady." Kale smiled "Give me a few moments to get ready, and I'll meet you just outside the Embassy." Wren nodded and headed through the magnificent elven structure. It was nowhere near the size of the palace in Myth Coramanth, but mirrored many of its features, including fountains and indoor flowering plants. She waited outside and a short time later Kale appeared, he had changed into a lighter suit of leathers rather than the heavier armor that he normally wore. Still, he had his blade, the blade she'd given him belted at his side.

"I'm sure...it's safe...but I feel naked without at least some armor. In....Parthia...in the other world...you never knew when danger was going to jump out at you. I'm still...adjusting." He flashed her a smile that was all Kale though, making her stomach fill with butterflies as she remembered all those times he'd given her that smile while escorting her around Myth Coramanth. When she wasn't being pursued by Aspen. She wondered what the little bitch had been up too the last few months.

Wren flashed him a charming smile with sultry eyes, "Well I think it makes you look very dashing... whether we get into a little trouble or not." She winked at him playfully.

Kale offered his arm and they walked out the east gate, after several gondola rides across the city. Kale explained "I asked...the city guard and there's no...good way to get to the best beaches within the city...you have to go outside." They walked outside the city walls towards the sea where eventually the ground turned sandy and Wren could hear the gulls more loudly. Finally...she saw it. Shimmering blue water with waves licking upon the sand. Further up the coast...she could see the land rise, turning into cliffs which the incoming surf crashed against.

Wren sucked in a little gasp and froze perfectly still ... she looked around to take it all in. The crashing waves, the endless blue water, the sand, and the gulls in the sky... She squeezed Kale's hand excitedly, and for one of the first times he could watch her guard let down. She didn't stand there as the noble diplomat to be a good example of her coven, or the bewitching seductress that captured so many suitors... she was excited, like a little girl in her first toy shop where she could pick any toy that she wanted...

Wren turned and flashed him an animated smile, her eyes full of delight! "Look at that! It's... amazing! ... just amazing... so beautiful."

Still holding his hand, she pulled him closer to her, "We have to go see it closer! I want to feel it splash on my skin." She nudged him toward the sandy beach faster.

"Your wish...is my command...mi'lady..." He laughed as he ran with her hand in hand until they came to the edge of the pounding surf, where the sparkling blue water washed up on the beach swirling with white foam. The warrior looked around for a suitable larger rock near the water and smiling, bid for Wren to sit down. Wren giggled...but complied, gracefully sitting down and stretching her leg.

She felt...a warm fluttering in her stomach as Kale took one of her legs and slowly slipped one of her soft, low ankle boots off, his strong hands then moving to her other leg to remove the other one as well. "Wouldn't want to get these...fine leather boots ruined by the sea water.” He set them down near the rock and Wren stood, reveling at the feel of the warm sand between her toes. It was an unusually warm late winter day, Wren could only imagine how hot the sand would be in the summertime. She laughed, walking out into the surf while Kale took off his own boots to join her...

Wren's cheeks blushed a warm pink with his gentle touch. She giggled. She crouched down and felt the sand in her hands as well her toes, she let it sift slowly through her fingers. She let out a soft sigh of contentment. She unclasped her cloak and removed it, letting it go in the soft wind... it danced in the wind over the sand for a brief moment before settling down on the sand.

Inali padded around the rock, checking the sand beneath her paws. She leapt onto the cloak and made herself a comfy little nest to watch the two of them.

Wren sauntered slowly toward the water, savoring the feel of the sand beneath her feet. She paused on the wet sand as the waves of the water licked at her toes. She giggled, and stretched her arms out and up, letting the wind billow her gown against her. She breathed in deep and let the smell of salt water fill her mind. She looked back at Kale, walking out toward her. She smiled a bright happy smile.

She gasped as she watched Kale walk toward her and a wave crashed in from behind her, the bottom of her dress now wet up to her knees. The sand buried her feet as the water from the wave was slowly sucked back out to sea. She covered her mouth loosely with open fingers and laughed.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Inali's ears lifted as Wren giggled and splashed her feet about in the water, standing ankle deep with the edges of her dress swirling around in the water. She extended a graceful hand to Kale and drew him nearer to her. She danced around him slowly, keeping in constant contact, while splashing her feet in the water... her fingers trailing over his, up his arm, across the back of his shoulders, down his other arm...

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kale turned his hand in anticipation as her fingers trailed down to his wrist... he almost caught her fingers in his, but a big wave splashed up, and her hands were wet and slippery... the undercurrent pulled her out further away from him, up to her knees. She laughed as the water pulled her into the sea and the sand sucked in her feet again. She pulled her feet out of the sand, giggling.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"It’s kind of pushy and demanding," she laughed, "much more grabby than the river back home..." She moved back toward him, and he extended out his hand.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">He watched the bigger wave moving in from behind her and he braced for impact as he tried to warn her, "Here comes the next one..."

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wren didn't see it coming in time, and it rolled in high... splashing against her back and pushing her forward... suddenly her chest was against his, her arms up over his shoulders and around his neck... He brought his hands up to grasp her waist and hold her close as the water drew back out around them. He could feel the curve of her hip-line near his hands and the press of her body against his. Her wet dress clung to her, the thin material doing little to hide the feel of her natural curves.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">She looked up into his eyes, hers were soft and inviting, as she felt his strong arms hold her close. He could feel her desire as their eyes locked in the moment. Her stomach fluttered, and she trembled slightly. Her soft lips were so dangerously close to his...

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Inali laid in the sun watching the two of them lost in the moment, the next wave fast approaching...

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wren lowered her face and looked up at him with magnetic, suggestive eyes. A slow tempting smile spread over her sensual lips.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kale's heart beat faster, and his blood ran hotter. He tried to slow his breathing and maintain control. He ran his hand in a soft caress from her waist down her hip and thigh to her knee... he slipped his fingers around the back of her knee and lifted her leg up, pulling her even closer to him... he ran his hand back up from her knee to the back of her mid-thigh, supporting her leg up against his hip... his other hand moved to support her back and pull her against him... he noticed as he moved his hands against her body that she wasn't wearing anything under her dress... she leaned her face forward and pulled herself against him with her arms around his neck... their lips met in a soft, sensual kiss... her lips smelled and tasted like sweet cherries... her tongue parted his lips and caressed his, it tasted like sweet sugared blueberries. They stood, wrapped in a passionate embrace... until the wave hit... it washed over them and pulled them both under the water.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wren came up coughing, about chest deep in the water. Kale was a little ways off, closer to the shore. Wren wiped the water off of her face... they were both dripping wet... she started to laugh. Kale grinned at her and couldn't help but chuckle with her genuine laugh. He moved out and she moved in to meet him, they walked through the water back to the shore line. Wren sat down on the wet sand, where the water just splashed up to meet her. She looked up and patted the spot next to her.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kale sat beside her, and she scooted in close, and laid her head on his shoulder. He draped an arm around her. The water splashed over their bare feet and gulls called from above. <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"It’s almost magical here..." Wren sighed contently, "I'm so glad you came with me." She looked up to face him and smiled. Dotted with sand and soaking wet, with a few stray strands of hair, that escaped her braid, falling in long wet curls over her face... and yet... her beauty was still enchanting.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kale smiled, still feeling a warm tingling on his lips and tasting the faintest hint of blueberries. His arm around her shoulder tightened gently "I'm glad I came too...it's nice to spend some time alone with you. I'm a little greedy I'm afraid, wanting to monopolize your time." Together they watched the surf crash again and again upon the sand. "Maybe next time, I'll bring along a basket of food, and some wine, and we can have a little...picnic. Just the two of us.." His eyes sparkled...she could see the warmth and passion...promising more kisses.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">She smiled warmly, "I'd love to come back... and a picnic sounds perfect. I look forward to it." She nodded.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"But we should for now...probably get back. Yuki and her friend will probably be waiting, and...probably be curious with all sorts of questions. I'll just let you field those alright?" He smirked.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Wren laughed softly, "I think I can handle that." She winked at him. She looked into the sky to judge the time and sighed softly. The day was growing late... the sun was starting to slip down in the sky... and the wind that had been unusually warm for a winter day was getting colder... especially in wet clothes. She nodded to him.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">"You're right, we should get back..." Wren stood up and shook the sand out of her dress.

<span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As they walked back into town, she leaned against him, "Maybe you guys can drop by to visit our girls night... I know Amynta would very much like to see Dominic," Wren giggled.
