She entered the water, her skin reacting to the cool waters of the river giving her goosebumps. A gasp escaped her the further she went into the river, she caught herself from squealing. It took her a few minutes to get used to the water's temperature; besides the cool temperature, the feeling of the current against her body was quite pleasant. She lowered herself into the river using her hands to wash away any dirt, doing the same to her face. Jenni straightened up feeling the wind touch her with a cooling sensation. The moon was low in the sky, still too early for the dark sky to turn the grey of twilight, but Jenni could not take her eyes off it. Somewhere up there, her father was watching her, secretly protecting his granddaughter with the gods' assistance. The gods were smiling down upon her. They allowed her daughter safe passage along with herself, if she and Gantu could get to his homeworld safely.

Gantu. Her heart skipped a beat. Instinctively Jenni turned around to search for him while she covered herself, but no light blue eyes caught her gaze; he had not returned yet. She never knew what to expect from the War Vet alien. Gantu had surprised her when he agreed to be her daughter's Guardian (and hers unexpectedly), floored her when he stood in Lilo's father's place during the betrothing ceremony, scared her when she thought he betrayed her, and now she had found herself in his arms riding out into the night as he made their escape. Gantu acted as if nothing had changed, he was still her Guardian doing his job Jenni's mind wrapped around this thought. Nothing has changed…

A loud sound caught her attention. Jenni whirled around adrenalin spiking through her, she was ready to dive into the river and swim along the current. Her eyes caught the figure standing in front of the forest line; the large male form standing erect carrying logs over his left shoulder, armor gone except for his wrist gauntlets which extended past his elbows, wearing only the brown ragged pants held up by rope and his traveling cloak. The moonlight had illuminated his grey skin, defining his aquatic features and his muscles. His face remained stone cold, his mouth pressed tightly together and wide eyes. Those piercing blue wide eyes. They were gazing right into hers, the soft white rings locked on hers. Her arms reached across her body to cover herself feeling a deep heat rise in her cheeks. Her stomach made twisting motions, hoping he would keep looking at her when she turned her head away shamefully.

She heard the sound of logs falling to the earth which brought her gaze back up to the Sharklike Guardian; his head was lowered with an annoyed expression on his face while his fingers fumbled with the latch of his traveler's cloak. Gantu had entered the water finally getting the cloak off himself; she could hear him grumbling in his native tongue. Jenni felt her face become hot as the campfire on land. How could she have been so silly? She knew he was due back soon, just not as soon as she thought.

"Lady Jenni," his deep vocals spoke through her thoughts. She felt her blush grow as his voice addressed her. She timidly glanced up hoping he was not looking down at her disgusted. "What am I going to do with you…" his voice slipped into a sigh as Gantu wrapped his cloak around her nude form. His eyes swept around her face, the soft white rings finally locking with her gaze.

"T-thank you…" was all that Jenni could squeak out. Jenni was not sure what was causing her to be so bashful, he was Gantu for divine sakes! He was her friend and Guardian, and yet her stomach kept twisting in knots and her cheeks grew hot and her palms sweat. The fact he was so close to her and displaying that smirk made her heart flutter.

"Come," she felt Gantu pull her against him, her hands flew up in defense only to touch the warmth of his bare torso. The next thing she knew, Jenni felt Gantu's arm wrap around her waist and she was being lifted out of the water. Her hands wrapped around his neck for support, it was her only reaction which made her feel secure. It also made her blush redder. Almost ashamed to look, Jenni sheepishly turned her head towards Gantu; he seemed to have become stiff, the white irises staring at her intensely. There was a large dark red blotch under both his cheeks and over his snout. Was… was that a blush…?

Jenni heard him growl as he shook his head before returning a wary glare at her. "There are days I've wondered if there's Siren in your bloodline."

"W-wh- There is not!" she rebutted finding a little strength in her voice. Gantu continued to shake his head as he began to walk towards shore.

"Then perhaps Mermaid? It explains a lot of your water excursions and your…attraction to aquatic life." She tried to glare at him, but Gantu's smirk was winning out. Jenni had no choice but to say,

"At least I'm not part blubber." It was the first time she had seen him smile. Actually smile. Gantu had carried her back to shore with that devious grin and chuckling lightly.

"Never cease to amuse me, Jenni." He was kneeling now, placing her on the ground near the fire. Gantu was just waiting for her arms to release him. "I appreciate the death grip you have around my neck, but I think I should tend the dying fire, Human." His voice held a mischievous bite to it. Jenni found herself laughing softly as her arms untangled around his neck. Jenni thought Gantu's eyes brightened. "Good to see you smile, Malady." He stood turning his heel towards the fallen logs.

"I still think I'm dreaming…" Jenni tried to shake the fog from her thoughts.

"That you're not part blubber?" was Gantu's remark. She turned to see the kneeling Sharklike alien tending the fire with that damn smirk across his lips. His eyes met hers and his smile widen.

"No," Jenni felt herself sigh, "that you're still on my side." He immediately paused his kindling as all emotion drained from his face. The gaze Gantu was giving her made Jenni clutch at the cloak uneasily.

"That I'm still good, is what you mean…" his face hardened a little, turning his attention back to the flames. "I understand where you're coming from. My display back at the Villa must have been quite convincing." Jenni watched him turn to look at her, his face softened. "I'm not just some bad guy who sells out the innocent. I told you before, I'm the guy who's always dealt the shitty hand and has to play those cards the best he can. I do what I have to, I follow what my duty is, even if I have to be the bad guy for a bit. I'm a Guardian, I just follow the Code and do my job. I hope you at least trust me now…" His attention was back to kindling the fire when Jenni said nothing. She watched the flames light dance across his skin, accenting his muscles in his arms. The firelight doing the same to his pronounced snout and jaw line.

"Care for a story, Lady Jenni?" Her gaze caught the piercing blue eyes from across the fire's light. She tilted her head watching his movements around the kindled fire.

"What does it entail?"

"A mermaid," He smirked looking back into the flames. "and the Guardian. Something you have experience with." His voice gave a low rumbling laugh. Jenni herself felt a humorous sigh escape her.

"Apparently I do."

(Insert so much Shaelekian and Turo mythology)

As Gantu's story concluded, Jenni felt the magnetic pull before she could register her actions. In less than a few seconds, she had stood and closed the distance between them, finding herself seated and crawling next the alien. She had found her way leaning against Gantu's side underneath his arm's reach. Jenni was sure she heard his heartbeat stop.

"I'm cold." Was her explanation as she curled closer to Gantu, still clutching the traveler's cloak tighter. "One of us is wearing nothing but a cloak. You're a natural heater, how about sharing some, Blubberbutt?" Jenni felt herself smile as Gantu chuckled, placing his arm around her and repositioned her between his legs. Jenni found herself leaning against his chest feeling the familiar warming sensation spread through her. She wanted to just melt away into the warmth.

"You never cease to amuse me, Hardhead." Jenni felt the pressure of his arm around her; it draped over her from her lower shoulders to just above her hip. She could not help but feel her nerves shake and a fluttering motion in her pulse. It made her breathe deeply. "Are you troubled, Lady Jenni?" she turned her head to see Gantu looking down at her with a concerned expression, his one eyebrow raised.

"N-no." Jenni shook her head of the fog clouding her thoughts before resting her head back against Gantu's chest. "I'm just tired." She felt his chuckle before his voice reached her ears.

"We had quite the adventure." A giggle escaped her as Gantu's words swam in her thoughts. He was right; the two of them had quite the adventure together, and she could not wait for it to be over. "You and I, Human, had one Hell of an adventure." There was a warming sensation spreading through her hair. It was gentle, stroking down through her long curls and repeating over and over again. Her head nuzzled against Gantu's chest, her being curling itself closer together. With the warming sensation coursing through her body and her hair, Jenni was finding it hard to not fall asleep on the Sharkman. Her arms fell around Gantu's hips trying to wrap themselves around him; at least attempting to, his size was making it difficult to close the gap so her arms hung around him.

"Thank you," Jenni felt the words escape her mouth, "for everything." She felt a large finger under her chin, lifting her head up towards him. The Sharkman's expression reminded her of the other night when she gazed into what truth looked like. The moment she felt safe, the moment they had become closer; he made her heart flutter.

"You're welcome, Mermaid Jenni." He was smirking, that damn soft smirk that made her pulse race.

Before her brain could register her reaction, Jenni had pushed herself forward, her arms wrapped around his neck and her mouth touching Gantu's. She heard him suck in a breath before their lips touched. That taste, that sickly sweet salty taste that was from his lips, the soft skin around his mouth, had made her hunger for him more. The same warming sensation sending chills throughout her being. Instantly Jenni felt his arms envelop around her, tightening his hold and deepening the kiss. She felt his fingers tangle in her hair as he held her head in place. The thought of his lavender tongue in her mouth sent her blood boiling. The alien suddenly broke off the kiss, eyes closed and his snout lightly touching her nose.

"Mermaid…" she listened to his deep voice echo in her thoughts, her eyes closing once again, "there's Mermaid blood in you somewhere…"

Her lips found Gantu's once more, only this time she was not leading; the Sharkman had pushed her back slightly as he advanced forward. His grip around her waist tightened while Jenni felt her body being pressed against his and falling, ever so lightly falling onto her back. He had pressed his full weight on her, and Jenni, laying on her back, had accepted it. His arm was under her, supporting her upper body. The kiss deepened as she heard a low growl coming from Gantu. His other hand had torn the traveler's cloak off her; she did not even notice the cool air touching her skin her core was that heated.

She felt his lips leave hers and travel down to the nape of her neck. Her senses jolted the further Gantu's purple tongue traveled down her body. He paused on her stomach, making her eyes snap open. A distraught whimper escaped her mouth. She was staring at those damn intoxicating ice blue color eyes.

"Do you trust me?" his voice was smooth as velvet. Jenni held her breath, every fiber inside her begging to be released. Her hand reached out for his. His three fingers intertwined with hers.

"Yes." Her voice was softer than a whisper. The next thing she knew, Jenni was on her side, her left hip being caressed by his snout.

"I've wanted to do this to you for a long time, Lady Jenni…" She watched his mouth open, his lips kissing her hip and down to her inner thigh; that familiar warmth spreading through her like wildfire. She almost fell into the sensations gasping a little moan. Her flooded eyes caught Gantu's mouth widening, his sharp teeth showing. They bore down upon her hip, resembling the predator she was taught to fear all her life. The Sharkman's jaws clamped down on her hip, she felt his hot breath on her skin. And another sensation. It was soft, it was wet, it was hard… there were rows of them, as sharp as they were, Gantu's teeth gently grazed over her skin as pressure began to mount. She felt the large tongue caressing her skin covered by his mouth. The pressure increased, his teeth began to dig into her skin moving back and forth but Jenni did not mind; the warmth spreading through her was pleasurable. The nibble continued until she felt the sudden chill of the cool night air. Jenni's eyes snapped opened glancing towards her hip. There, just on her left hip touching the thigh was a bite mark glowing a bright pink-purple hue. She could see the indent of each individual tooth forming the reminisce of where Gantu's jaws touched.

He was looking at her with that damn smirk.

"Wh-wha…" She could barely breathe let alone speak. Gantu had turned her onto her back so she was facing him; both his arms on opposite side of her as he pressed his weight against her.

"My mark." Was his answer. His snout was touching her neck. "I claimed you…Mermaid…" Jenni's arms reached for him, her fingers gripping onto his shoulders. Her hands grazed their way down, touching his stomach muscles to his hips where the single strand of rope was tied. Jenni pulled it, feeling a sense of accomplishment knowing what was underneath. She for once locked her eyes with the soft white irises holding them in place. She positioned her mouth just under Gantu's.

"And I, you… Guardian…"
