I gasped as my head popped out of the water. Ryker and Veyra were just staring while eating cookies… clearly enjoying the show.
"I'm sorry," I heard Thyrian apologize as he gently rested his head against my shoulder.
"Don't apologize," I said softly and dragged myself toward the edge. I had already put on my dress, so now...
"How do I get dried?" I asked, and Thyrian stretched his hands out. A soft warm wind gently caressed my body, and within a few seconds, I was dry.
"Impressive," I said, but then I grabbed Ryker by the hand.
"Come with me," I said, but Veyra stepped forward instantly.
"Take me instead. I'm stronger!" he argued, and I rolled my eyes.
"I don't have time for your competition," I muttered, and Ryker pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around my neck proudly.
"Well, she chose me," he bragged, and Veyra bared his fangs, but I rubbed Ryker lightly, making him let me go.
