[ Twilight fades into the darkness of evening, and a whole gaggle of trolls are up on the island to camp out for one very big reason.

One big, angry, honking reason.

But general terror of the Grand Highblood aside, they're still fairly functional in-so-much as trolls ever are. And that's where the shenanigans come in. ]

[Equius stays in the shallower water, but he's perfectly content to just bob along beside Gamzee, looking up at the night sky above them.]

You were right... beaches are nice.

Yeah.

[He sighs, utterly content, pushing himself further and further back until he can't reach the sand anymore with his toes, diving then. He doesn't swim with the innate grace of a seadweller, but his rough style jets him through the water easy enough, his motions practised and certain.

He surfaces again a bit further out, laughing as he spits out salty seawater like a fountain. For a moment all the stress of the current situation is forgotten and he just bobs on the water utterly content.]

[Equius stands up, the water pooling around his waist, and watches Gamzee swim. He's not brave enough to go out in water that deep, but he'll certainly watch his matesprit enjoy himself in it!]

[Gamzee is only too happy to splash around in the water, float, bob and dive. He missed swimming. Hasn't gone swimming in ages. He can't go swimming alone, after all. Sea's a dangerous place. His ol' goat had never let him go swimming alone.

Eventually he dives under again, deep to the bottom. There he stays for a while, enjoying the sensation of weightlessness, before he swims back to Equius along the bottom of the sea, mischievously tugging at his ankle once he is close enough.]

[Normally it wouldn't be a good idea to tug on Equius' ankle when he's in the water, but he was watching Gamzee closely enough that he knows it's him. He looks down through the clear water and smiles at him.]

Seems the local goatfish population is increasing these days.

[Gamzee lets out a stream of bubbles as he snorts under water, before he surfaces enough to bring his face above the surface. He bleats once, a eerily good impression of a goat, before he presents his flat palm to Equius, a blue spiralling sea-shell laying on his outstretched hand.]

[Equius snorts back at him, sounding just like a horse, before his eyes widen at the sight of that shell.]

Beautiful.

For you.

[He holds his hand up a little higher, closer to Equius.]

Really?

Yeah.

[He pushes up to stand, shaking some water off of his hair.]

Hold out your fuckin' prong for me.

[Equius holds out one hand, keeping it as flat and still as he can. He really doesn't want to break that shell!]

[Gamzee's face is soft as he carefully placed the shell on Equius' outstretched hand. His fingers are equally careful as he help Equius curl his fingers around the fragile little item. And then, with that done, he darts in for a quick little kiss.]

[Well, sir, if that is your custom!]

[Equius thinks his heart will melt completely, with how gentle and tender Gamzee is with his hand, helping him where he knows he would only fail if he tried himself, and he's more than happy to kiss him back. In fact, he wouldn't be opposed to this turning into a long, sweet kiss. Not opposed at all.]

[Nope. Gonna have to owe you on that, cause Gamzee got other plans in his pan right now. And you never fight a good pan idea. That is just silly!

He wraps his arm loosely around Equius' arms, pressing his forehead against his.]

Love you, babe.

[Oooooh... yes, that is better than a kiss.]

I love you too.
