Once Amethyst is confident enough with her swimming skills, they head off to the coral reef. It's absolutely dazzling! The coral is so brightly colored it seems to glow, and it's teeming with beautiful fish that almost look like birds with their diaphanous fins and jewel-like scales. Kori laughs. "Isn't it great?"

Amethyst nods and smiles at the sight of the reef, it looks like the reef that her parents gave her a picture of, which made her even happier

Kori smiles, his eyes full of nostalgia. "I used to play here all the time when I was a little kid. I guess that was a long time ago, but it feels like yesterday."

Amethyst's eyes are soft and full of color, they start flickering from black to white like her mothers did when she was happy since her mother wasn't good at showing emotions

They stand there for a long moment, watching the peaceful scene. You could stay there, in the moment, forever. Kori looks at Amethyst, butterflies in his stomach. "Hey Amethyst....?"
(BRACE YOURSELF, DIS SHIP IS SAILING)

(FINALLYYYYY)
Amethyst looks at Kori, "Hm?" She tilts her head

(SCREE- IS HE GOING TO SAY IT? IS HE GONNA SAAAAAY IT?)
He blushes madly, looking down at the reef below. "I just wanted to say.... I mean, I don't know if this is going to sound weird....."

"Are you alright? Your face is red" She asks

Kori looks away, wings twitching nervously. Nope nope nope I can't do it I can't do it!! "Um, yeah, I'm.... fine! Yep! Completely fine!"

Mali sighs "Amethyst why don't you do it?" Amethyst gives Mali a confused look then realizes "Fine" She sighs and looks back at Kori
