    Blade chuckled as Rose dragged him to the beach, they had decided to come to the festival being held to celebrate their recent engagement. Rose squealed as they watched the people wandering around and enjoying themselves. Blade noticed a few familiar faces but decided to remain with only Rose and leave his friends to their celebrations. His eye landed briefly on Temp who was speaking with Joey, he spotted Gray and Sana behind a table laden with food with Tyr and Hrimfaxi wandering around from table to table in a way that Blade could only describe as prowling.

    Rose squeaked and grabbed Blade’s wrist, dragging her fiancé with her to a nearby stall, snapping him from his musings and back into reality. “What’s got your attention sweetheart?” He asked with a small tilt of his head.

    “This~! This is the last one too~!” Rose chimed cheerfully and held up a small shell necklace made by one of the local children. He smiled and kissed her cheek. Though his smile faded as he noticed that her expression had changed to one of concern and her attention was behind him. He turned to see what had her attention as she set the necklace down.

    Blade could see that there were some children eyeing the shells on the beach. He was in the process of wondering why they didn’t just go and get the shells themselves when he noticed the hydras. He sighed heavily and looked back at Rose who was now speaking with one of the organizers of the event. She grinned and bounced over to the Guillotine Cross, her hands behind her back.

    “The organizer that I just spoke too said that we can get points for helping those children collect the shells. Come on!” Rose grabbed onto Blade’s wrist again and dragged him forward, her sandaled feet making soft slapping noises as the sandals hit her heels. Blade was barefoot in the sand, used to the scorching heat of sand in daytime, and rather enjoying the heat.

    “Whoa hold on!” Blade dug his heels in and brought both of them to an abrupt halt, though he felt guilty as Rose turned a pout on him. “Easy sweetheart, I’m not saying we can’t help the children but we have to think about this. Those are Hydras and you are wearing a string bikini.” He pointed out and was semi-rewarded with a blush on her cheeks. “Now, what did the organizer say about this? Are there rules?” He asked softly.

    “Yeah there are, uhm let me see. Oh right! He said that there’s only one rule, we can’t hurt the hydras. The locals find them lucky for the season.” Rose chirped happily. “What’s going on in that head of yours?” She asked after a moment as Blade gained a thoughtful look.

    “Rose, I’ll get the shells. Hydras can’t see past my Cloaking Exceed, though I will have to kick the shells together since I can’t really pick up anything while I’m hidden…” Blade answered before nodding and moving closer. He played a kind of game with the Hydras at first, seeing just how far their attention went. It looked kind of like a weird game of Chicken.  Satisfied he knew their range he drew a line in the sand and looked over at Rose.

    “Sweetheart, I know you can look after yourself, and I trust you to be able to look after yourself just fine. But would you mind staying behind this line? I’ll get the shells and put them in a bag for you to catch ok?” He suggested with a soft smile. Rose pouted at him for a moment before seeing the logic in his plan and his words.

    “Alright, I’ll stay behind the line.” She agreed and was rewarded with a kiss on the forehead before watching as Blade vanished in the blink of an eye. His footsteps silent on the sand and he didn’t even leave a foot print. The only way she could guess where he was, was when a shell would mysteriously go flying into a small clearing of sand.
