SyneliaSynelia side-eyed this small girl as her ex
pression changed at the mention of her age. Was that disgust? Curiousness? Or flat out hatred? Maybe she had guessed what she was. Lia could just be a human midget, however. She sure wished she was better at reading people. She gave a silent nod at the girls choice in flavour and squinted at the ice cream man when they reached him. "Salted caramel and Orange Choc Chip please. One scoop each in-" She thought for a bit and looked at the girl. She couldn't be bothered to ask. "In cones. And not those fake ones either. Give us the waffle ones." She watched him falter under her tone as he moved to grab the ice cream spoon. After looking over the ice cream for a little bit the elf man apologized and asked to pick another flavour for the first ice cream. Synelia sighed and turned toward Cici expectantly.

"Umm...Yeah I was about to say I had to get home soon anyway." Cillian says as he crouches down to allow the purring feline back into his hood. Barnaby rubs against the centaurs legs one last time before hopping into the hood. With Barnaby safe in his cloak he takes out the pouch of jewels he has on him and takes a few amethysts out. "Here for what you spilled." Cillian says as he places the gems into Derri's hand. He then turns away from Derri and speed walks towards the edge of town.

"Uhh, I'll just have the same as her" I mumble. "Oh, and by the way, I just turned 14 last week" I turn and smile at Synelia, then turn back too watch the man dig into the soft mush of ice cream, still annoyed at their lack of flavors. Once our cones are handed to us and my new 'friend' I guess pays, I kinda just stand there, not knowing whether to talk to the girl, or lick my ice cream, or walk, or all three at once. Instead I awkwardly turn around, expecting to walk in that direction, then turn back around and stumble over my words to then give up and lick up a falling piece of ice cream.

DerriDerri stares down at his palm then looks up as the boy starts going. The cat is still staring at him. "Hey," he calls out, "I really don't need this you know." Cillian turns the corner and is gone. Welp, so much for having a friend. Derri looks around and then back at his cup. He takes a sip. Perfect temperature. Dammit, he could've offered to walk with him - he really wasn't heading anywhere anyway. He looked down into the water-filled swimway next to the path before carefully stepping over it to resume his walk toward the park. He didn't feel like the park anymore he realized, pausing in the middle of the street to return to the safety of the sidewalk he was on before. He decided to rest next to the cafe until he was done drinking then return to the place he calls home. Taking one last look at the amethysts in his hand, Derri opened his wallet and carefully set them in the amethyst compartment before taking a deep breath and enjoying the sight of the west edge of town.

SyneliaShe cocked a brow at the girl's choice and listened to her speak. "Nice." The man finishes scooping quickly, and she digs out the right about of gems. She ignores his offer of donating to some charity and looks at the girl questionably as she messes up more words. "Oookay. Cool. Let's leave." They step out of the store and Synelia takes the time to pause and lick around her ice cream to stop it from melting. "Gooey heaven. This was a good idea." She looks around before deciding to walk the way to town, she wasn't a big fan of beaches anyway. "Do you have a job?"

Cillian stops speed walking and returns to a normal speed as he reaches the cities edge. "Agh! Why did I do that? He seemed nice and I just ruin it by running away." He says as they pass by some rubble of a previously standing house, "Maybe we'll see him in town again Barnaby." He sighs before starting to run towards his home.

Synelia's question catches me by surprise. A job? It never crossed my mind. "Oh, uh, no not yet, don't have a job. How bout you?" I wipe my mouth on my arm, leaving a gooey trail of ice cream. Oh wait, "Oh wait, trading and stuff, is it?" I casually brush my arm against my dress to try rub off the ice cream, just as Zoey pecks at one of my chocolate chips. "Oi!"

Wow, everyone's so rude here I glare at every mermaid that bumps into me Have they never heard of personal space?? Ugh. I enter the west side of Kush, noticing how many people are near the bay, way more than my last visit. I notice three reckless mainlanders throwing a ball over our river passage. I was never really fond of mainlanders. One was a brown haired boy in his mid 20s, and the others were blonde teenage girl twins. They looked kinda related. "Hey- HEY!" I poke my head up from the surface of the water, frowning at the brown haired boy. He doesn't notice me, and bends his arm back, ready to throw. Bag in hand, I wave my arms up for their attention. They shouldn't be doing this stuff, it's dangerous for us mermaids. He throws with force and I flinch, but not fast enough. The ball hits my hand, and my handbag flies out of my grasp. I gasp and quickly turn around. Eek! It has fallen next to a... Centaur! I swim back in fear.

Synelia"You are really messy." She stared in disgust at Cici. "Yeah. "Trading and stuff."" Lifting her hands for the quotation marks, she took another lick of her ice cream. "I was just wondered if you would want to be a traveling trader like me. Of course, I'd have to take you to fill out some stuff beforehand because you're not of age but if you accompany me as an apprentice it'd be fine." With a shrug, Synelia handed Cici a handkerchief.

DerriDerri looks down as a bag lands next to him. He glances back up at the kids playing ball close by and none of them seem to move for the bag. Slowly he bends down and picks it up, looking around for the owner. "Is this one of yours?" He asks the kids to make sure but they just stare at him. Awkward. He sets it carefully on the ground as the kids go back to playing, hoping whoever owns it will come back.

"Well, a trading apprentice does sound fun, however, I'd like to be a craftsman." I exclaim, accepting the handkerchief and wiping myself down. "It does sound fun, though, my parents might not like me being away from home a lot, and trading can be risky" I throw the dirty napkin into a near by bin, where the wind takes me by surprise and flies the napkin into a mermaid river. 'Argh!' I steadily run with an icecream in hand, and peer over the side of the water flow. After a few moments, the napkin shoots back up and into my face in its same form, as for the magic surrounding the river keeps rubbish out. I hear laughing behind me, but I'm not sure if it's Synelia or someone else. My cheeks flush red in embarrasment as I scrunch the napkin into my pocket with the necklace in it.

That's right, put the bag down. I stare curiously and intently at the centaur. He looks about my age maybe? He awkwardly sets the bag down after asking one of the twins if it was hers. Okay. I must look like a weirdo just swimming here, maybe I should make my way towards the bag before anyone decides to snatch it. But, but that thing is still there. Okay, just suck it up and go get it, he doesn't look harmful. Now Dwee, don't stereotype centau-"OW! BACK OFF!" Another mermaid bumps into me. Great. Now everyone's starring at me.

Cillian arrives home after some time passes. He slows down to catch his breath as Sean comes to greet him. "Well whatever you got for the meat smells amazing! Lee and I could smell it while you were running here, you should have seen him drooling." Sean says with a chuckle. Cillian hands the slab of meat over to Sean before they head into the rubble they call home. "Is there anything else you would like me to do?" Cillian asks while he sets down the bag of vegetables. "Nope, nothing at all." Sean says while he starts a fire. He then places a large pot over the flame and dumps the vegetables in. "Hey while I'm making this stew you should go back into town and have some fun." "I don't want to run all the way back there then have to get back here again." Cillian says as he eyes the city in the distance. "Just dust over there it'll be quicker." Sean says with a pat to Cillian's back. "Wait what? Oh...yeah! I totally forgot about that." "Just be back before midnight, okay!" Sean calls out as Cillian disappears into a cloud of dust. |

Synelia"Worth a try." She shrugged, then yelped when the familiar feeling aof brain freeze took over. "Aarrrghhh dammit." After it passed she looked up and saw Cici chase her napkin into the waterway, then look real confused when it was shot back out. Her snort turned into a loud laugh as her brain freeze was forgotten. "These swim-ways must be relatively new to you huh?" Lia strolled over to where Cici was flushing a deep red and gave her a hard pat on the back. "One day you'll get used to magic, kid."
Derri He cautiously approached the swim-way after hearing a shout. Was it the owner of the bag? He was a little terrified of mermaids and water to be completely honest, so after a minute of trying to make out shapes in the moving water he stepped back and resumed drinking. He was nearly finished, then it was time to go back to his broken apartment and do nothing. Lovely. He gave a big sigh and flattened himself to the wall to allow a small family of dwarves to pass. The sky was darkening a bit but it didn't bother him, his place wasn't too far. Oh! He almost forgot! He had exciting arrangements tonight! Hurriedly he dug his watch out of his pocket to check the time. A lot of time left, no rush.

Synelia pats me pretty hard, as I almost drop my ice cream into the river. Wah A small but audible sound escapes my throat as I tighten my grip on my ice cream, cracking the cone. Cold, gooey liquid oozes from out of the shards of waffle cone. I stand up, shrug at Synelia and lick my hand clean. It's still a good ice cream. "Yeah, I guess I haven't been near them often" I glance down into the river, where rainbows of tails whoosh past. I wish I could breathe under water, how cool. Or even have powers. I turn and wiggle my eyebrows at Synelia before heading back on track.

SyneliaShe immediately retracts her hand. "You're gross." She raises an eyebrow when Cici wiggles hers. "And.... Weird. It's darkening a little. Do you have evening plans?" Lia gestured toward the sky, in which you could already see the crescent moon glistening from behind a cloud. The sky had only darkened a bit though, the moon was very bright and shone from at least 3pm onwards everyday. Synelia moved away from the water after casting one final glance, not wanting either of them to fall in.

Stuff it, go now! That thing's prada! I dive towards the direction of the bag, to then twist and turn around some other mermaids with shiny pink tails. I end up dazed and confused, but on the right side. The centaur wouldn't notice if I grabbed it now, would he? GO! He's checking his watch!! I pull myself in land a bit, and just enough to snatch my bag, then completely consume myself in water. That was close. Did he see me? Sighing in relief, I check the contents of my bag. Clam lotion, 10x water resistant mascara, gem pocket, wait.. Where's my comb?? I glance up to the surface. Oh kelp. I emerge up from the water, to see my comb sitting more in land from the river. I'd have to change into a human. How awkward and embarrassing, is anyone watching? That centaur is still there, what if he judges me? Or attacks me? I peer at my golden comb glistening in the sun as my heart sinks like a rock. No, I can't just leave it there.
