[RL with Tyki]

Issei hung onto Tyki's side excitedly, staring at the beauty of the island. "Are you saying that this entire island belongs to you? It's amazing! C-Can I see more, please?"

He couldn't help it. The beautiful ocean would always hold a dear place in his heart, no matter how few times he got to see it.

Tyki always enjoyed showing off - and the fabulous Caribbean island that Zechs had given him for his birthday was one of his favourite things to show off.

When he picked Issei up he'd made sure the boy packed a few things - including a bathing suit. And now they stood in sandals on the white sand, a few hundred metres from his breezy beachhouse.

"Of course," he said, tightening his arm around Issei's shoulders and grinning. "It's not a very big island. You can walk all the way around it pretty easily. But there's a very nice view on the other side, where the cliffs are. Do you want to see that? Or would you rather go for a swim?" He gestured to the turquoise water in front of them, crashing lazily onto the sand.

"I'd love to swim!" Issei said cheerfully and loudly, and then a bit more demurely added, "Ah... only if you come along and join me, of course. I came primarily to see you, even if your island is wonderful."

Tyki beamed. If there was one thing he loved about Issei, it was his enthusiasm. "I have every intention of coming along," he said. "Come on. No reason not to go right in."

He grabbed the boy's hand and headed for the surf.

Issei grinned and raced along the sand, clutching Tyki's hand. As soon as they reached the water, his grin widened. "It isn't at all cold! Must be part of being a Caribbean island."
