Vai gives him all the time he needs to think things over, turning her attention back to dinner and nearly finishing it up by the time Felix speaks again. And when he does, she shoots a sunny smile in his direction, reaching out to clasp his shoulder and giving a warm nod. "Sure we can," she says. "We'll stick to the shallows, maybe even go to the Miana pool or something like that. And we'll make sure we're down there when there are a few other people about."
As for fighting the ocean, Vai's smile grows a touch sharper, a touch more dangerous, though there's love in the gesture; fierce, maternal love. She gently pats his back. "Sweetie, I'd murder gods if it meant keeping you safe," she tells him honestly; it's such a simple declaration too, that there doesn't seem to be any room for argument. "Say, do you want to go into town for dessert after this?"
