It was the next day, Dmitri was sitting underneath the shade of the trees, learning how to make a tool to cut trees to make fire wood, and a shelter for him to stay, ever since he got here, he was only sleeping near bushes, some of them were infected by bugs with bothered him a lot. He stretched his arms, relaxed his back and shoulders. "Jesus Christ, my back hurts from all this labour I've forced myself into to." Said Dmitri. He took the tool, or perhaps a stone axe. and sharpened it with a rock he found in the beach. He noticed there were a few scratches to his hands, and a splinter on his fingers. Dmitri sighed, then wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He hears the crashing waves to the beach, he looked to the endless sea, and he couldn't seem to find her. "Tala..." He spoke her name out as he tried listening to the winds, maybe hearing her voice once again. "I wonder how she's going, she didn't forget me, did she?" He thought as he scratched his cheek. "I've thought of that yesterday, but it still makes me curious." He said, as he took the yellow shell he found yesterday. "This shell really suits her, her eyes, her fins..." Dmitri observed the shell as he rotated it around with his hand, his ears twitches as he heard like someone stepped on a stick.

Dmitri turned around, then his eyes shined as he saw Tala again. "Tala! It's you!" He hidden the shell inside his pockets and took a few steps closer to to Tala. "I'm glad you're here, I thought you'd left me here" he sighed with relief, and Tala looked at him confusingly. Her eyes blinks as Dmitri was talking, all she does is look at him, directly with eye contact, which made Dmitri got creeped out. "Ah- what's with uhh.. all the staring?" He asked, he scratched his neck, and his eyes were looking around the place, since he isn't good with eye contact. "Oh yeah! I forgot to give you another present. I just found this yesterday when you went back to the sea, so here" Dmitri smiled as he took out the yellow shell. "It really fits you, it just reminded me of ya, and decided to give it"

Tala looked at the shell, it is an ordinary shell, since it came from a hermit crab, but the way Dmitri spoke about the shell made her smile.

"De..mitri"

"ᜐᜎᜋᜆ᜴"
(thank you)

Her ear fins perked up, and her teeth were sharp as always. Dmitri longed sighed, as Tala looked so happy.

Tala suddenly has an idea, she held Dmitri's hand, and did a gesture to come with her. He was confused, but the moment she went back to the water, it meant to follow her. As he took a step to the crashing waters, he felt his foot tingle as the cold temperature of the sea was pulling to him. Tala pulled him to the water too quickly that he got surprised, and closed his eyes.

"ᜊᜓᜃ᜴ᜐᜈ᜴ ᜀᜅ᜴ ᜁᜌᜓ︀ᜅ᜴ ᜋ᜴ᜄ ᜋᜆ"
(Open your eyes)

Tala echoed to his ear, and Dmitri slowly opened his eyes, it didn't felt like his lungs were getting filled by water, and his eyes aren't getting irritated but the flow of the water doesn't even bother him too. it was odd for him, and strange as well. He couldn't talk since he's too afraid to talk underneath the sea.

"ᜐᜓᜈ᜴ᜇᜈ᜴ ᜋᜓ︀ ᜀᜃᜓ︀"
(Follow me)

Tala held Dmitri's hand again, and swim with him, he noticed a lot of corals were very colorful, yet fishes are so alive and lively. He couldn't believe to himself that he's seeing all of this. Tala stopped, which showed a small ravine that were covered in colorful corals, such as red, orange, yellow, blue, purple.. and alot more.

the fishes were swarming around places, and some were hiding inside of their own home. Dmitri finds it all beautiful around him, he couldn't describe anything more than that. though his question is, why is Tala showing him all of this? He looked at her once again, she was smiling, and she looked like she adored looking at every fish. They made eye contact for a moment, her gold eyes blinked, while Dmitri's dull light blue eyes gleamed. Dmitri gasped, and bubbles were created from it, he covered his mouth and looked away.
