Zaine stood, watching the waves lap up onto the shore. "I miss Nariko....I havent seen her in so long.....And I've got this money..I was hoping to get married to her soon....I think I've got enough, but...I cant get married to her if I cant find her....." He shook his head, and sat down on a rock. "I miss her so....I need her..." He put his head in his hands, starting to cry.
Nariko fixed her crutches, sighing. I'm such an idiot... why did I have to go and fall? she thought to herself, ears pressed down against her head. In a way, she wished she had broken her wings instead, seeing as how she didn't need them to walk. It was strange, really; she had broken a perfectly fine leg, and her weak wings had been unharmed.
Shaking her head, she walked onto the beach, having some difficulty. She still hadn't gotten used to these crutches, to be quite honest. She wished Zaine was there... she missed him. She hadn't seen him in a really long time, and every time she looked at the ring on her finger she couldn't help but wonder when they were going to get married.
As she walked, her cat-like ears turned in the direction of the sound of soft sobs, and she blinked, thinking she had heard a voice before that. She looked around, and as soon as she spotted Zaine, her face lit up. It was all she could do to keep from screaming his name, however, she did start going toward him as fast as she possibly could.
When Nariko reached him, she smiled, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Hi, hon," she said, and her smile became a frown when she remembered he was beginning to cry. "What's wrong?"

Zaine looked up at her, overcome with happiness. He jumped up, throwing his arms around her and hugging her, swinging wildly and falling to the ground, bringing her with him. "Nariko, I missed you so much, I..I just...I love you! Ive gotten a lot of money, lets get married! Really soon! I have plenty of mone-" He stopped, looking at her cast. "Nariko, you're hurt! What happened?!"
Nariko should have expected a greeting like this. She smiled, laughing inwardly due to joy, and hugged him tightly. When they fell to the ground, she yelped, having not expected that. Her crutches had fallen away from her in the process of falling, but she didn't really care.
"Nariko, I missed you so much, I..I just...I love you! Ive gotten a lot of money, lets get married! Really soon! I have plenty of mone-"
"I love you too," she said, and her smile widened when he said they could get married soon. "Really?! YAY!!! When should we get married?" she asked him, hoping the answer would be as soon as possible. The sooner, the better, in her opinion. When he stopped talking and noticed her cast, her face went red, since she was sure she knew the question that was coming up.
"Nariko, you're hurt! What happened?!"
Well, she had been correct. She laughed nervously, the red color on her face darkening a little bit. "Just clumsyness, that's all," she said. "I kind of fell down a flight of stairs and broke my leg... yeah... I'm fine though..." she looked away, still quite embarrassed at what she had done and how badly she had hurt herself.

Zaine smiled and hugged her. "Today? Tomorrow? As soon as we can hold the service and get the things to have it! I kind of started getting everything we'd need already..If we get someplace to hold a service, and people to come, and a cake, and you a dress, we'd be able to have it today, or tomorrow!" He hugged her tighter. "Ohh...Your leg...Stairs...Ow...I wish I could heal it and make it better right NOW...But I cant...But its not important, because we're together again!"

After hearing those words, it was all the cat-eared girl could do not to scream out in excitement. "You mean it? REALLY?! That soon?!" she continued smiling and hugged him even tighter. She couldn't wait... the fact that they were going to be able to get married so soon was more than enough to keep her happy for a long time, and more than enough to keep her mind off of her leg as well. She was sure finding a place to get married at wouldn't be hard, nor would getting a cake. However, it might take a while for them to think of people to invite, or for her to pick out a dress.
She was still smiling though. "I can't wait... wow, today or tomorrow... I didn't think we would be able to get married so soon..." she said quietly. "Anyway, do you have any ideas on who we could invite?"
"Ohh...Your leg...Stairs...Ow...I wish I could heal it and make it better right NOW...But I cant...But its not important, because we're together again!"
The young woman nodded in agreement. "Right. I don't care if I have to get married in crutches, it doesn't matter... I'm just so happy...." Nariko still hugged him. She would have preferred to get married without a broken leg, but it couldn't be helped. She wasn't going to wait for it to heal before they got married, there was absolutely no way she could wait that long.
