Thread: Of Land & Sea { Penitency & Enigma_x }

The deep tone of his voice, coupled with the warmth ebbing through the fabric of his shirt and onto her hand was almost unreal. Humans were appealing, that is what she was learning on her trip so far. Now she could truly understand why women of her race decided to look elsewhere. Most of the men in their world were slender they were built for swimming. This man that stood in front of her was a broad beast of a specimen. Luna was rather in awe of him, which didnt help her racing heart. The way his muscles moved against her palm, leaning in toward her, was rather interesting. The female toyed with the idea of brushing her fingers along his chest, but she refrained. A soft, tender sigh of relief escaped her lips as she heard that the boat was his, and that he didnt plan on throwing her out. Luna was rather content with his promise before he mentioned he wasnt going to drop her off at the shore. Miles, she didnt know what that meant, but it must have been far. The barrage of questions about where she was from only caused further confusion. She didnt know places on land, but he seemed certain he knew where she was from. A place called Cuba. It sounded pleasant. However, she knew better than to answer so swiftly, she needed to think. If she could work out which would be a better option, then she would be safe to pick. Anywhere that wasnt the ocean certainly suited her. As the men had entered, Luna remained pinned behind her new found protector. The way his hand rose felt rather defensive, and sent a chill of warmth through her. That hadnt been expected. So she was what they called a castaway. Oh you dont need to make me food, The female breathed softly upon hearing his orders. Ill dry quickly enough, I mean, if Im not harming your boat. Luna didnt know much about boats, only that they were supposed to float. Shed seen many down at the bottom of the ocean, so shed had time to learn something about the creatures that lived above them in the sun. It all seemed quite bright up in their world and Luna couldnt have been more pleased. A slightly startled look took hold of her delicate features, her doe like hues snapped up toward his face as she felt his hands cupping her upper arms. Even if his touch was soft, it was oh so warm and solid it was nothing like the touch of her people. As he began to walk her inside, she felt his arm begin to ease around her shoulders. Being pulled against such a large, powerful frame made the petite, curved woman feel even smaller. It also brought a strange feeling swelling into her abdomen. It was warm, yet it felt tense. She had no idea what this was, and it was rather disconcerting. Really, Im okay, I dont need them to slave after me, The woman piped up once more in an effort for the man to relieve his rather angry looking staff. As he opened the door to the interior, Luna almost stopped in her tracks. I Well, I was trying to escape my home. I wanted to be anywhere but there. The long dark strands began to dry slightly, a glow embracing them as she began to cross the sun riddled room. It was glorious, so shiny and new. Luna was aware shed slipped from his grasp to begin inspecting the room, it was only as she began tapping the floor with her toes that she noticed she may be acting somewhat strange. This is a large boat, She confessed with pure enthusiasm. I remember seeing one like this when I was a child, it was rather beautiful, but in a different way. The female was clearly in awe of the vessel as she took in every inch of the room, almost twirling in place as she assessed the beautiful area. Before shed had a chance to test the seats, one of the men brought through a tray of food. The scents were odd it wasnt what she was used to. What she ate was generally clams, fish and other sources of food they could find. The female padded cautiously over toward the plate that was served on the table. As the woman sat down on the chair, she noticed it began to roll. Immediately she rose, her face seemingly showing distress. Once she saw the man who had served her glance in confusion, she simply sat back down with a soft laugh, I didnt expect it to move. Which was the truth, in her defence. Two metal items were delivered next to the plate, which only caused her brow to crease as if she was focusing on the meal before her far more than she shouldve been. The woman rose her hand almost cautiously as she noticed the heat trailing up from the plate. She tentatively touched the small fish laid out before her. A hiss escaped her lips as the flesh burned her own. How was it so warm? Is this how humans ate? Thankfully, there were some cool, fresh clams on the side. Once she took hold of one, she began to pry it open. Luna was to having the upper hand in the water, she gained some strength along with her other form. The clam didnt budge, but it did fly. A sharp shove against the opening sent it flying back down the room, clattering as it went. Luna could only stare in embarrassment, which was clearly shown by the heavy blush tainting her cheeks pink.
