Kakoa was swimming close to the shore. He was fascinated by humans and enjoyed watching the lights, even if, unlike his kind, he could not switch to a human form and walk among them. He arched up out of the water before splashing back in like a dolphin. He pushed his shaggy blond hair back out of his sea green eyes. He felt the sea breeze ruffle his hair and he smiled, knowing that as the seasons changed and the tourist returned he would have to stay farther out to sea, to risk not getting caught.

His eyes scanned the shore and as they did, he saw a bobbing, wavering light. And by the light, the silhouette of a girl around his age. People were never out at this hour so he go curious and slowly swam closer. He was intrigued by the girl and as he swam closer, he saw that she was rather pretty.
