She moves closer again, content in her knowledge that he won't retaliate against her for her indiscretion, and reaches out of the water for him. There's an exhaustion that seems to seep into her bones, but it hardly matters right now when she feels too giddy and happy to dwell on it. It's a strange war within herself, her happiness making her light and her exhaustion making her want to sink down and nap.

A hum again and she pulls her arm back into the water to rid herself of the temptation.]
