Lilo groaned, “Pete, I’m fine. It’s just a leg.” Lilo shrugged, “I have another one.” She would never admit it but secretly she liked being taken care of instead of having to do everything herself. His pure stubborn determination to take care of her when she needed to be taken care of was one of the things she really liked, even if she was surprised by it.
Lilo wrapped her arm around his shoulder to make it easier for him to carry her. “So now what? Are you gonna carry me off to my castle? Fend off attackers, old ladies and the shark in the moat?” She asked in a tone that was a combination of sarcastic and playful.
♤ “If that’s what you want my dear,” Peter smirked. “Your castle seems to be just down that hallway - ” He gestured to the room all the way down the hall. “And it seems we’re both pretty vulnerable right now - guess I better hurry, eh?”
He picked up the pace, which was quite easy considering she was as light as a feather in his arms. ♤
Lilo rolled her eyes but was grinning all the same at how he played along. “Nah. I’m not vulnerable. I’m a mermaid. If a shark jumped up to eat us, it’d ignore me and eat you.” She said this calmly and matter-of-factly, not even remotely bothered that the shark might eat her boyfriend.
♤ Peter couldn’t help but laugh as he reached the door. “Oh - you’re a mermaid, eh? No wonder why you charmed me with your lovely voice ~ ” Or was that sirens? Ah - he didn’t pay attention in mythology...
“I’m pretty sure no shark would get me,” he chuckled. “Because - ” One hand left his grip to open the door and carry her inside. “We’re already inside...” ♤
