Bay of Flames (part one)

"Nix..." Mina was leaning against the rail next to him, a pod of dolphins was keeping pace with the Phoenix off the bow. The Aquarion was watching them with great interest.

"You like dolphins Min?"

Mina nodded, "quite tasty."

Nix stopped his gazing and turned toward her, "that's a joke right?"

"Why would it be a joke?"

"Nevermind." He closed his eyes and listened to the sounds of the ocean, the sun warming his face gave him the urge to take a nap.

"Have you seen Fajii lately?" Mina moved closer, her personal boundary was basically nonexistent.

"Earlier today, I'm afraid that you won't recognize your friend next time you see her."

"Does this have anything to do with the Earth Temple?"

"Yes." Nix gave up on watching the dolphins, the normally quiet Mina was too intent on talking.

"Do you find Aquarion women beautiful Nix?"

"Some of them are I suppose." Nix kept a straight face, "especially Fajii."

"What about Wylie and Semmi?"
