Kairos opened her eyes beneath the water, her vision blurry as she blinked against the subtle stinging. As things sharpened and her focus returned, she could see the shadow of a turtle swimming through the very depths she found herself in. Bubbles popped through her nose and she glanced upwards as movement caught her gaze near the edge of the water.
Unable to resist the mischievous streak that she held, Kairos moved through the water in what she hoped was a carefully quiet and subtle manner, until she could feel the way she needed air, and the earth closer than before. Pushing up off the pond ground with her hind legs, she burst through the surface of the water with the intention to playfully scare who may be on the opposite side — whether or not they took kindly to it, she did not know, but it was the wayward streak she inherited from her father playing for dominance as she teased the line of reckless danger.
Water went flying as she resurfaced, and her mismatched gaze of ice and fire landed upon the handsome face of Francis.
