Athens, Greece; August 13, 2004

[dovelike]

It's sometime mid-morning when Eirene regains consciousness, staring blearily up at the ceiling and idly wondering what the heavy thing on top of her is for the three or four seconds until her brain starts clearing away the cobwebs and reveals that the object is, in fact, boyfriend-shaped. Which leads to lots and lots of blushing, and a soft, happy sigh at what they did the night before.

Hopefully not loud enough to wake him, seeing as how Clark appears to be still asleep.

He probably wouldn't resist, so should he find himself on his back, there will only be momentary surprise before he grins up at her.

"Hi."

[eirenikos]

"Hello." My, she sounds chirpy now, doesn't she, seeing that she's also kinda straddling his hips. Sorta. Mel is busy romping around in the surf, and wuffing softly at a turtle making it's way up the sand for a round of sunbathing.

Impishly, "You have sand in your hair."

[hero_farmboy]

"So do you," he points out, fingering a few strands of blond hair gently. "And you've got more of it than I do."

[eirenikos]

"It can stay there as long as it wants." As can the bit of seaweed washed in with the tide at one point. She might look a bit fey now, like a mermaid without the fishy tale.

Then she leans down to kiss him again, briefly. "Love you."

[hero_farmboy]

She's still the most beautiful thing he's seen, seaweed sand and all.

"Love you, too."

[eirenikos]

"Come on. Let's go clean off in the water before we eat."

Cue puppy eyes.

[hero_farmboy]

"Isn't that how we got this messy to begin with?" He asks, sending a small splash of water Mel's way.

[eirenikos]

"Pffft. Logic." That'll get him a poke in the side. Mel is still investigating the turtle, but breaks away to lunge at the water, yipping happily.

[hero_farmboy]

"My logic is not Earth logic?" Look! He made a joke! While Eirene is recovering from that, he'll roll her onto her back, give her a quick kiss and then start chasing Mel down the beach.

[eirenikos]

While Eirene lounges in the surf, still going ':O' with her face, Mel looks thrilled to have a playmate. This is possibly because she always does stuff with her goddess, but the tall non-human smells of other dog, and he knows how to chase!

Which means the black Lab streaks down the beach, barking excitedly.

[hero_farmboy]

Clark definitely knows how to chase and he figures Eirene will catch up with them if and/or when she wants to. Of course, it doesn't take them all that long to turn around and start back the way they came.

[eirenikos]

She meets them about one third of the way back, hair flying behind her, feet slamming into the sand and still not making much of an impression. It's the giggling that will give her away long before she reaches the two of them; that light, infectious laugh mingling with the roar of the ocean.

[hero_farmboy]

And her boyfriend will greet her by grabbing her around the waist and spinning her around while Mel yips happily at their feet. when he's done, he'll plant her back on h er feet and then lean down for another kiss.

[eirenikos]

Eirene plans on remembering that moment for a long time, since it's relatively rare to see Clark so carefree. If he's like this during visits to her home, then the goddess plans to steal him on a regular basis; at least once every few months.

And then she steps back to catch Mel as the puppy flings herself into the human embrace too.

[hero_farmboy]

It's very rare, but they're alone on a beach in a world that's not his, so Clark feels like he can let go, just a little.

"Time for a group hug, I guess."

[eirenikos]

Deadpan: "It's always time for a group hug." Except for when it's not. >.>

[hero_farmboy]

"Maybe in this world," Clark quips and gives Mel's ears a scratch.

[eirenikos]

"Any world, boy scout." Mel wuffs her agreement, and twists around to try and lick Clark's face off.
