“Yup.That’s me, Roil.Or I can call you Riro, and you can call me Vesta.”
He smiled slightly.“You are her sister.”
“I am.”She smiled.“When did you first mate?”
Pria blushed.“We started things this morning.”
“In that case, you two go and have a swim, and I will see if I can find something less obvious.”
Cabree’s eyes lit up.“I have learned to shop.I can help.”
“Fine.Let’s go.”
They turned and walked away, and Riro stripped them both before holding her against him as he walked into the ocean.“This is how you were always supposed to meet the ocean.”
“What?”
“With me.”
She giggled, and he walked deeper and dove, and she let the air leave her lungs before water rushed into her gills.
Now we can communicate more effectively.
We can?She paused and then swam in happy circles.We can.
So, your elder sister is Crimson?That is frightening.
Why?
She’s an assassin.She’s also very effective.
Even with that jewellery?
It isn’t adornment.It’s been grafted to her.I have seen that pattern before, but she has managed to get away, which is surprising.
Where did you see that pattern?She frowned at him as she swam around him.
On a corpse.A woman had washed up in the capitol.He gave her a serious look.
Oh.Vesta’s getting a hug when we are back on the surface.
He nodded and held out his hand.She floated to him, ignoring the sealife that was darting around them.
He pulled her against him, and he used water pressure to keep her in position as he worked into her.Sex underwater is tricky, but I think we can manage it.You are still slick from the house.
She would have blushed, but she didn’t have time, so she used her water and bound them together while he gripped her hips and began to thrust.
She locked her arms and legs around him as he created the friction, and they moved themselves around under the ocean surface.

Vesta smiled at thedress that Cabree frowned at.“That?It doesn’t show much.”
Vesta said, “I am not looking to show anything.This is my sister’s new home.I have come to bring her a bridal gift.”
“What did you get her?”
“Security.I tried to get it to her while she was in the suit, but lawyers were circling to grab any funds she had.Now the funds are more, so that should help her feel like she’s in control of her life.”The grey and black dress was breezy, but it covered her to the elbows and to the toes in one length of fabric.
