Complete your quest, sort of.

"Well, I guess there was no Jewel of the Sea," you say to your friends as you return. "Or we can count the lovely Gwynevere after all, but unless she wants me to take her home and put her in our Treasure Room, I'm afraid there's no monetary reward from this quest. Still, the Summerlord said he'd find a new island, so we don't have to contend with an angry Seno'nojoch, Gwyn can go home with a tentacle-up from her eldritch daddy, and you know what? There's no reason for us to head home yet, right? Let's relax and enjoy the beach for as long as we want."

While everybody smiles and cheers, Gwynevere mutters, "Stop calling him that", but she also blushes slightly and adds, "But I appreciate you recognizing my diamond-like beauty."

"Hey, uh. Can you give me a hand, Kyle?" asks Niki. She holds up her arm, showing a cut straight across the side of her swimsuit. "I'd hate to leave Luna's work like this."

You place a hand upon it and notice her flinch. "Mend," you whisper, causing the fabric to reattach. Then you smirk. "What if I slipped my fingers up a little and tickled your--"

Niki instantly jumps back and pulls her arms down. "Don't you dare!"

Fang then sneaks up behind her, attacking the warriors sides with her skillful fingers. She pushes into girl's muscles, knowing exactly where to place them for maximum tickle. It causes Niki to immediately flush as she crackles like a maniac, and with panting breaths, she falls onto her hands and knees.

"... How did she have such incredible defenses earlier?" Anyana asks, floating above.

"B-Bad cat," Niki says, struggling to pull herself back up.

The Summerlord watches, still silent.

After cooling off, Niki approaches him first. "You're pretty cool, besides the part where your minions were trying to kill us."

He stares back at her, still not talking, though you can tell why. He's squeezing his spear incredibly tight.

"Hello?" she asks. "You there?"

You glance down to see a small bulge start to rise from his loin cloth. In a panic, he brings a hand down between his legs and shouts, "Y-Yes. Thank you, warrior. I must now retrieve my masks, so enjoy my beach to your heart's desire!" And and swiftly as he can, he leaps up into the sky and disappears once again.

"Weird," Niki comments.

Amara looks to the anglermaid swimming easily through the air as if it were water and speaks up. "Pardon me, but would you and the others wish to stay? You did aid in the fight, and deserve a rest all the same. I believe we will likely have a lot of fun here. Beaches are quite lovely, and this one is like none I have ever seen before."

"Oh." Anyana looks around, and then to Gwyn. "Pardon me, Mistress. Are we going to stay and join the festivities?"

Nelli stands beside her queen but says nothing.

Gwynevere ponders silently. "I suppose there is no need to leave immediately. I did not bring my swimwear, but you are correct about one thing. This place is gorgeous. Mmm. I hope that the Summerlord's new home will become even greater."

"And I thought you'd hate it, given your mission," you say.

"Do not pretend you understand me. Now do not let me keep you. Enjoy the beach, and I will as well."

"You heard the lady!" you shout. "The beach party is back on!"
