[center]By the time they reached the Shallows, both boys were nearly undressed. The moment all four spotted the water, Kieran and Ryanair moved to block their path. They leaned from the last time that allowing them to run off meant wet clothes and disapproving mothers. Raising the bags in silent reminder,  all four deflated slightly but stilled and nodded. 

“Ty and Sena are with me. Wythe and Isaac are with Ry, now once your dressed you will wait until we're all at the shoreline, understood?” His tone was firm but gentle, he was glad he knew their temperaments by then to know how they'd respond. Four nods had them splitting up, bags handed off and clothed switched for another. Kieran nodded when both were changed and moved his two towards the shoreline, Ryanair and his two following after a fee moments later.

“Now, the rules apply like last time. You stay close and don't go too far. And no Wythe even if your uncle taught you to swim, your to follow our rules our your out of the water.” The brunette’s arm fell but she nodded, Sena giggled softly at her friend. Rolling of the ends of his trousers, Kieran moves forward after removing his boots and socks and guides the kids into the water. Ryanair remaining on the shore with a smile on his lips, he follows after removing his shoes and socks. 

The water fight began almost immediately. The two vampires wisely stepping in before someone lost thirty temper. After that, both vampires convinced the children to practice swimming techniques. They paused long enough to grab lunch and watch a crab scuttle to the water, before they were back in the cool embrace of the small waves of water. By the time either male noticed the sun's desent, the kids were close to falling asleep as they played. 

Getting them all out and changed was a task, all four more asleep then awake. As they made their way back towards town, Kieran had an armful of Wythe and Isaac on his back. Ryanair had Sena and Tyre and followed a few paces behind him,  the silence relaxing. Entering the town and moving towards the center, they soon found each child's mother waiting. Handing the kids back, both male's waved them off before turning to head home. Only then did Kieran remember the letter Lady Esther promised to send, he paused and sighed. 

“I'll meet you home Ry, I have to collect Esther’s letter and I'll be there.” Ryanair had turned to look at him, at his words a frown settled onto his features. After a moment the blonde nodded and turned to continue walking, Kieran turning to head towards the Postal service. His strides slower as he moved around the people milling about, his gaze focused forward. 

Just this and then he'd be home and asleep. [/center]  [@earlymorninstar]
