Silence falls on them like a thin, silk blanket. The white haired creature clears his throat and talks again. "Are you lost?" Elara places one leg on the other and straightens her back, looking at the creature. "You have something that belongs to us. What should we call you, sexy monster? Do you have a name sweetie?" The white haired creature rises one eyebrow at her. "Courageous. I'm Lakras. Lord of the water lilies, not a monster." Elara nods. "Lakras... sounds like a crazy vortex of sexiness-" Felix talks over Elara, gaining an annoyed expression from her. "Excuse us, Lord Lakras. You may have something that belongs to me. I need you to give it back." Lakras nods and gesticulates towards their boat. "And you sailed all the way here to get it. What could it possibly be, to have such value?" Felix bows his head, trying to be as mannered as possible while Hyunjin signals Elara to keep her mouth shut. "The magic necklace you're wearing, my Lord! I beg of you to give it back. It belongs to me." Elara's whisper resounds faintly around them. "Well... not anymore." Hyunjin's whisper almost unnoticeable surrounds them too. "If you don't shut up, I'm throwing you in the water."

Felix bites the inside of his cheek, refraining from slapping them both, tying them to one another and drowning them by his own hands. Lakras interrupts his thoughts and raises one hand. "There will be no need to throw her in the water. My lilies aren't friendly to strangers. Not even beautiful strangers." Elara's heartbeat increases and she looks at Lakras while blushing slightly. "I will give you back your necklace. There is no need for you to beg. I'm not a stealer. Here!" Lakras proceeds to take off the necklace when Elara stops him. "Wait!" Felix turns around slowly, with impatient eyes glaring at her and talks through gritted teeth. "What is it Elara?" She ogles at Lakras while rotating one red hair strand. "You called me beautiful. How can I return the compliment, my Lord?" She moves her gaze from his face to his pelvis, traveling her eyes over the honed muscles of his pectoral area, abdomen and going down to his pelvis. Lakras scoffs and swims to the boat, his long white hair getting lost between the lilies and becoming one with the green water. He grabs Elara's hands, his skin being smoother than it looks. Hyunjin and Felix look at each other as Lakras concentrates his attention on the young lady. "I'm afraid we won't be able to communicate if I give your friend his necklace back. Should I keep it, in this case?"

Hyunjin uses his thief skill to sneak his hand under Elara's strands of hair without being noticed. He pushes with his thumb on the soft bone situated on the back of her neck, triggering a reflex of the nervous system. She collapses in his arms, Lakras widening his eyes. Hyunjin plays it cool and places Elara on his lap, covering her with his jacket. "What a shame! To faint now of all moments. She has a chronic disease which makes her lose her conscience all of a sudden. I apologize for wasting your time, my Lord!" Lakras nods. "Too bad. After so much time spent in severe loneliness things started to get interesting." He opens the necklace and takes it off, handing it to Felix and nodding. He swims back in the middle of the water lilies and brings two fingers up to his forehead, meaning 'farewell'.
