[Event 2] sat on a rock, brushing her fingers through her hair and singing quietly.
Søren
was
out for a midnight walk, humming quietly. He loved the moonlight on the water, and how quiet it was. When he heard the singing though he
stopped instantly and just listened.
kept singing quietly, she wasn't aware anyone was even close enough to fully hear her voice.
followed the sound of the singing, in a trance from it. He thought it was just... beautiful. He got to the edge of the water and stared at
her beauty.
opened her eyes and looked, she thought she heard shuffling at the shore, she blinked on shock at the human standing there, her song cutting
off abruptly. She began to shift back, so she could jump back into the water.
frowns and shook his head. "Nej... don't leave..."
Stops and looks at him for a moment. She dipped her tail in the water, nervous of this human, but she was interested in him.
smiled and quietly and slowly walked towards her. "What're ye doin' out here all alone like this...?"
gasped a little as he stepped closer, she jumped into the water, and after a few moments popped up near him and the shore. She didn't say
anything, just stayed and watched.
frowned when she disappeared, but smiled again when he saw her again. He hadn't yet noticed what she was. "Here... get out of the water." He
held out his hand to her.
pulled back, looking a little confused, she shook her head looking a little worried, she hadn't left the water before.
frowns and tilted his head. "Why not? I'm sure people are lookin' for ye..."
shakes her head. "Mnmm.." She mumbled quietly backing up a little more. "Nej.." She said even quieter.
blinks and smiled. "Good, ye can talk..." He walked closer to her. She had a nice voice.
backs up, she was a little scared, most people never tried to get her out of the water. "J-ja.."
crouched down closer to eye level for her. "Why won't ye come out...?"
bit her lip and looked down then at him. "Can't.." She said quietly.
tilts his head. "Why not? Did ye break yer leg or somethin'?"
shakes her head. "Nej.. Jus'.. Can't." She didn't want to, she was scared at what would happen.
didn't understand how she couldn't get out...
couldn't. She turned and went to dive back under the water, her tail getting above the surf slightly.
's widened at that. "Wait!" He ran deeper into the water, trying to catch her.
gasped as he started to come at her, she panicked slightly and splashed him with her tail going deeper.
blocked his eyes from the sea water and just watched, fascinated. He couldn't believe his eyes... He stood now, just watching her disappear.
hid under the water, after a few moments, she peaked up barely letting her eyes get above the water, seeing him, she ducked back under, and
then she slowly made her way to the rock, slightly climbing onto it to watch him.
looked around for her, not seeing where she had gone due to the darkness. He smiled widely and looked up to the moon. "I can't believe it.."
perched herself up a little more, still staying hidden, she watched him, wondering what was so unbelievable.
just couldn't believe she was real. He shook his head as he smiled more and headed back for shore. "They do exist... that's... amazin'..."
blinked at him quietly. "What do y' mean..?" She asked in a quiet voice that got carried by the calm sea.
instantly turned and smiled to her. "... Ye. Mermaids... it's amazin'..."
crawled a little higher on the rock so she could be seen now. "Why 's it 'mazin..?" She was so curious.
slowly walked closer to her. "No one believes that they're real... though I always have... but.. ye're the first I've ever seen..."
watched him quietly, she nodded slightly, sinking back slightly as he got closer. "Really?" She watched him still, pushing some hair behind
her ear. "'Ve seem a lot 'f humans."
stopped, not wanting to scare her again. "I bet... Yer kind is always so mysterious... I find it so fascinatin'..." He just smiled and
stared at her.
shifted a little and smiled slightly, nodding. "Humans.. hurt us." She stated, though this one didn't seem so bad.
frowned. "How could they... ye're a beautiful creature..." His eyes mistakingly went down her body, noticing she had nothing covering her
upper half, making him blush and make an embarrassed sound as he looked away.
blinked watching him, she slowly slipped into the water and swam a little closer to him, she was a little vain. "Beautiful?"
smiled and nodded. "I'd never seen anythin' so beautiful in my life..." He held out a hand, wanting to touch her so bad.
stopped short of him, a little nervous of her hand. "Really?" She was blushing. "Y' think 'm beautiful..?"
nodded and pulled his hand back. "I won't hurt ye... Here!" He pulled off a silver necklace he had on of a Thor's hammer and held it out to
her. "To show... that I won't hurt ye. This means a lot to me..."
stared at the shiny thing for a moment and swam close reaching for the necklace. She wanted to see it, and he seemed fairly trustworthy...
made sure it got into her hand before letting go and pulling back again. He just smiled as he watched her curiosity.
looked at it turning it over in her hands, watching it glint in the moon light, it was so pretty. "Where did y' get this..?'
smiled a bit. "My father gave it to me... before he passed away. I almost never take it off..."
blinked and looked a little shocked, but she nodded, continue to look at the necklace. "'S beautiful.. 'nd shiny."
nodded and slowly moved forward to touch her hair.
tensed and started to duck down a little nervous of the touch. "What are y...?"
frowns. "I just... wanna make sure ye're real... Yer hair looks soft too..."
"But.. I am real..." She didn't understand. "I don' know if 's soft or not.." She then flicked her eyes back to the necklace.
slowly took some of her hair, stroking it gently. "So beautiful..." He was mesmerized by her and her looks.
shivered a little, it felt so nice, him touching her hair that is. "Tack." She flushed a little. ".. Do y' want t' come swimmin..?"
smiled widely. "Can I? I love swimmin'!" He moved from her to take his shirt off and put it on a high rock.
nodded to him. "Ja." She watched him, moving her hair away from her chest, she watched him, no human ever was this nice..
turned back around and blushed as he looked at her chest again. "A-ah... where are we gonna swim to...?"
shrugged a little. "Where ever y' want t'.. I know.. That y' can't breathe.." She learned that a while ago.
frowns and nods a bit. "If I could, I'd travel around the world..." He smiled a bit as he started swimming away from the shore.
blinked and nodded, she dove under the water, staying under, she watched him from below, she came back up and tugged at his hand slightly,
wanting him to come under the water with her.
smiled and nodded before taking a deep breath and going under for her.
smiled a little as he came under the water, she followed him, her tail slowly moved her through the water as her hair drifted around. She

was
glad for the dark, she was flushing slightly from this human, he was good looking, and nice.
glanced over to her every now and then, not having near the eyesight she had but he still tried. He loved swimming, and swimming with her

was
more than he could ask for.
watched him, she started swimming around him, examining him from every angle while he was sti under the water.
smirked a bit, noticing her do that. He did a few turns, enjoying the freedom he had in the water.
smiled a little, reaching down, taking his hands and pulled him up slowly toward the surface.
Søren
was
thankful she did that. He was starting to run low on air, though didn't want to disappoint her. Once he got to the surface he took a few
deep breaths.
went back under the water, she went to his legs, and started to touch them and look at them, amazed, she normally didn't take this much
notice or interest in humans.
wiggled and laughed a bit as he swam a little away. "T-that tickles!"
grabbed his leg, pouting slightly, she touched all the way from his feet up to his hip and groin.
laughed and shifted more, before starting to blush and swam away quickly when she got close to his groin. "A-ah..."
came up and blinked at him. "What was that? Why'd y' swim 'way..?" She swam closer, just curious.
blushed as he looked away. "S'just... sensitive there. That's all."
tilted her head. "What do y' mean?" She went to touch there again.
lightly pushed her hand away and shook his head. "If I tried to do that to a female human... or man... they'd hit me. S'not somewhere we
touch when we're not close..."
blinked and nodded slightly, pulling her hand back. "Oh.. kay." She mumbled still wondering about that thought. "Why?"
shrugs lightly. "S'how... Well, ye'd probably not relaly understand. But it's how we reproduce." He chuckled a bit awkwardly.
raised an eyebrow. "Oh.." She didn't understand he was right. "Odd." She turned onto her back to bring up her tail looking at it herself.
stared at it in awe, loving how colourful and beautiful it was. "Amazin'... Ye really are."
moved her tail, flushing at the compliment. "Tack." She hummed a little, and brought her tail higher, more into the light.
smiled more as he looked up to it. He really was infatuated by it.
liked the attention so much. She hummed still and watched him, happily.
swam a bit closer and lightly touched her fin. He was curious as to how it worked and was made..
shivered a little, her fin twitched a little. She flushed a little bit at that, and pulled away a little from embarrassment.
smiled. "Sorry, I just... It's like a dream."
nodded. "'S fine, my fins are just.. not normally touched." She looked toward the land. "What's it like?"
looked back and shrugged. "A totally different society, I bet..." He sighed. "I've love to live with mermaids and mermen and... just there."
raised an eyebrow. "Why..?" She looked at the land. "I'd love t' see it..." She meant the human world. "Not jus' from the water.."
sighed as he looked at her. "If I could show ye, I would... I'd love takin' ye around. Ye'd be the most beautiful woman there."
flushed darkly, and looked at the land. "I don' know how.." She lifted her tail higher just to show more. "Hm.."
nods a little as he watched. "I can't really walk around carryin' a mermaid... And there's no way to hide yer tail..."
nodded. "'nd I don' know what would happen if I was out 'f the water.."
chuckles. "S'not like ye can go to a sea witch and get legs, eh?"
raised an eyebrow, not understanding. "Uh...?" She blinked at that.
shakes his head. "There's just a fairytale about mermaids I read a lot..." He shivered a bit and slowly made his way back towards shore. He
Søren
was
starting to get cold.
frowned and followed him slowly, stopping just shy of the water's edge. "Why are y' leavin?"
got up above the water and rubbed his arms. "M'gettin' cold..." He frowned when he looked at her. "If I wasn't, I'd keep swimmin'..."
frowned watching him, she looked at the sand, she was nervous of going on land, but she wanted to try..
noticed her look there and held out his hand. "I could help ye onto the land a bit if ye want..."
frowned a little and pulled back. "I.. I don' know.." She couldn't get around the same way he could, she was suited for the water..
"We can go bit by bit at a time... If ye feel unsafe, I'll help ye back in the water. Remember, ye have my necklace... so I won't hurt ye.."
nodded to him. "A-ah.. 'lright.. 'll try." She was nervous, but she would try.
took her hands lightly and slowly inched his way to the shore. He would stop whenever she felt uncomfortable.
made a sound, she got lower and lower, she couldn't stand like him. "A-ah." She started to pull away a little.
stopped and kneeled in the sand to make it more comfortable for her. "It's okay... just focus on the necklace... it gives courage..."
nodded and tried to focus on the necklace. "O-okay. More." She said quietly.
slowly helped her along until she was almost fully on sand.
tried not to panic, she couldn't believe she was this far from the water, she turned back to the water to stare at it. "Ah."
held her close and rubbed her arm to comfort her. "It's okay... just say the word and I'll help ye back."
nods to him, she held onto his arm and started to play with the necklace with her other hand. "Can we sit down..?"
nodded a little. He helped her further into the sand before turning around and helping her sit so she could see the water.
settled herself onto the sand, she breathed out shivering a little, she didn't like this. Her tail had a slight ache to it, she_
didn't understand why..
took his shirt off to put around her shoulders. He figured she would be cold considering she'd never been out of water like this.
shivered a little and blinked at the jacket. "Uh.. Tack.." She wanted to go back to the water, but her throat felt kinda dry and she hurt.
frowns a little. "Are ye okay...?" He didn't want to push her, but he was amazed to find her...
nodded a little, she reached down and rubbed her tail lightly, it felt funny, like a little divide in the middle of her tail.
watched her and rubbed her back. "If ye wanna go back now, I can help ye..."
"M' tail feels funny.. 'nd kind 'f dry.." She took his hand and put it on her tail. "See?"
frowned and nodded a little, rubbing it lightly and moved his hands up to her hip lightly, still testing. "Same here... do ye want me to
put some water on it?"
tensed a little as his hand moved up, she nodded a little, breathing deeply. "Ja.. should help."
quickly got up and went to get water, cupping it in his hands before bringing it back and lightly draining it on her tail.
shivered feeling the water, her fins wiggled a little bit, she raised an eyebrow as she felt one move opposite to the other, like it was
separate from the other.
just watched in amazement. He had no idea what was going on.
didn't know either, but she was afraid. "What's happenin'?!" She clutched the necklace tighter.
frowns and tried to get some more water on her legs, hoping that might help. He honesltyhad no idea what to think of this.
looked at the water frantically. She pulled her tail up getting it close to her, she stared. "I-It's tearin..!" This wasn't right. Her tail

also lightening to a kind of flesh tone. "B-back t' the water."
nodded, feeling terrible and guilty for this. He picked her up as best he could and brought her back to the water, wading in to about waist
deep.
made a small sound as she was picked up, she kicked a little, and then froze, realising something. "W-wh-at..?" She stared down at feet.
noticed the change and just kind of stood there, staring at her legs. She had really, really nice legs.
stared at her legs, she didn't know what to do or what had just happened, but she started to completely freak out. AKA she sat there
breathing heavily, staring, and starting to shake badly.
couldn't help but look her over fully, blushing a bit. He grabbed his shirt and put it over her, trying to keep her warm. "Y-ye're okay.
We'll fix this..."
clutched the shirt and the necklace. "H-how?!" She was shaking badly, not sure how to actually fix this,she didn't know if water would work.
didn't know either. He crouched down and lightly touched her legs. "Do they hurt...?"
shivered a little, she shook her head. "Nej.. They just..." She kicked her feet a little, she didn't know how to work these things.
frowned as he saw her. "Do ye know how to walk or anyfin...?"
Astrid
was
about to say no, but she just stopped and stared at him. "Anyfin?" She couldn't believe he made that joke right now.
bit his lip, trying not to laugh. "S-sorry. I'm use to lightenin' up situations when people seem disdraught..."
