Cam knew Chandi was right. There was no way he and AJ could remain at odds for any length of time, no matter what had come between them. He smiled and nodded as she took his hand. Looking down at Chandi's velvet fingers as she brushed them over the scar tracks criss crossing his forearm, he watched as the dappled sun light which filtered through the palm canopy overhead made the soft fur which covered her hand glisten as her fingers moved this way and that. "Ye still worried aboot they scars eh." He said as he glanced upwards, catching the look in her eye.
"Dinnae fret Princess. Remember that dragon bite ah got? Ah never let that get in the way of a good fight now did ah? Compared tae that, these are just scratches. They just look bad." He looked back down at his arms before returning to her face, smiling at the incongruity of her bright bikini against her dark fur. "If ah'm honest they hurt like hell at the time, but ah had a job tae dae. And ye should see the other guys. Ah dinnae think the licks ah got in are gonnae be healing any time soon. Ah dinnae think even vampyres can grow a new heid. Aye, they'll think twice before disturbing me when ah'm enjoyin' a dram." He chuckled, feeling more relaxed than he had in weeks. "Speaking of which ah found a grand wee pub back on Sugarloaf Key. Maybe we can head over there fer a drink sometime and ah will regale ye with the details o' the whole sorry tale, but here and now is too great a day tae spoil with such darkness."
He looked out at the wide expanse of empty beach and the ocean beyond. If he didn't know better he could almost believe they had the whole place to themselves. Turning back to Chandi as he felt her head lift of his shoulder, he joined her in her sigh. "Aye. Ah guess ye have a point there." He looked over his shoulder back up towards where he knew the base was hidden in the trees. "Just five more minutes then we'll head up and join them eh." He squeezed Chandi gently and settled back against the tree. "And meantime, ye can fill me in on how ye manage tae stay in a bikini that small..."
