Unknown...

Soon, Ivan had gotten Scarlet back to dry land; A beach, to be exact. His face was grim. Scarlet would need mouth-to-mouth, if he read the symptoms right. So, without hesitation, Ivan obliged. A small group was beggining to gather, asking what had happened and other such questions. Ivan ignored them, being unable to give a believable explanation and, at the moment, too busy.

Ivan held Scarlet close. "It's alright." He said softly. "For the time being, you're safe." The crowd that had gathered clapped. Some wiped tears from their eyes. The crowd, gladdened by this sight, dispersed. "I was so worried..."

"I don't think so." Ivan replied quietly. "Maybe next trip we'll have to pick someplace safer. I'm so sorry; I didn't think you'd be in danger at the theme park." Ivan was blaming himself for what had happened.

Ivan followed beside Scarlet. "It's around lunch time now. How about if we go back to my house so I can cook for you?" Ivan suddenly became aware of the smell of saltwater pervading both him and Scarlet. "I'll need a shower, too." He said under his breath.

Ivan chuckled. "Trying to flatter me, huh? I'm still making sure that you get one, too; The water at this particular beach is not as clean as you may think." Ivan remained alert, now aware that Scarlet's hunter could strike at any given moment.
