Travelling

[Holly]

The quiet murmur of waves lapping onto a sandy shore lulled Mercy as she sat on a rock, a leather-bound, black notebook held in one of her hands, as she attempted to draw the sparkling lake before her. She cocked her head, finishing with one stroke of the quill she held in her hand. She smiled, flipping her hair over her shoulder with one slim hand, eyes shining as she slipped off the rock.

"ISABELLA!" Came the untimely shout from Mercy's pale pink lips as she ran, her sandals leaving moist prints on the beach as she ran, fleet as a deer. A slight buzz of annoyance was heard on the air, and a blue Faerie huffed as she landed on the girls shoulder.

"What?" She snapped, her eyes angry. "Mercy mercy, I was just painting my fingernails purple with berries!" The Faerie teenager groaned, putting her small head in her hands. "What is wrong with you? I look like I just ran head first into a thorn bush now!"

Mercy shrugged, grinning as her companion continiued to yammer on, not realizing she was not listening anymore.

[Namie]

(Sorry I didn't notice this post...)

Namie stood on the shore looking out at the sparkling water. It was silent and peacefull for a while untill two voices broke it. Namie's face scrunched up and she heard a faint noise of two people holding a conversation. She took a few steps close to the noise and squinted her eyes trying to get a better look at the people. "What the...." She could barley see a glimpse of blue and another larger figure. She walked towards them slowly and then when she was in earshot opened her mouth to let them know of her prescence. "Hello?" She said it loud enough so they could hear without exactly yelling.

[Holly]

Mercy whirled around, eyes wide, not even hearing the girl come up to her. For a second she appeared like a fish out of water, before she swallowed and smiled. "Hello!" She said cheerfully to the figure standing before them, brushing her bangs out of her eyes with a carefree sweep on her hand. She bit her lip as she remembered her manners, and began to speak again. "I'm Mercy, and this is Isabella." The girl poked Isabella in the head, and the Faerie smacked her finger away. "Say hello, Isabella."

The Faerie snorted, shaking her head. A barely audible voice mumbled into the air, "Hello, I'm Isabella." The teenaged Faerie appeared tortured to be polite, but at least she was being slightly nice.

[Namie]

Namie smiled at them both, "Hello Mercy and Isabella. Nice to meet you both. I am Namie, queen of Rohan. May I ask where you two are from?" She gazed out at the water, the urge to dive in was overpowering but she stood still to be polite. She was young and wasn't used to all this royalty stuff. 'One minute your just some orphan citizen, next minute your queen....' She waited for one of the girls to respond and hopefully ask for a tour or something, and if they did ask she hoped they could swim. The longed to feel the cold refreshing water meet her flesh and welcome her into her favorite part of the kingdom.

"Oh, I'm from Aeren. The Air Elemental Kingdom." Mercy's was a bit shocked to see the Queen of Rohan standing before her, and she struggled to keep her jaw from falling open. "Um, not that I mean you didn't know that... I just mean, that in case you didn't..."

Tredel." Isabella said, glaring at Mercy, her gaze simple and clear, sharper than the edge of a saber.

"Hmm?" Mercy asked, now confused as she glanced at Isabella as the Faerie glared at her. She shrugged, pointing her hands up into the air, in an expression of puzzlement.

"You dolt, I meant I'm from Tredel. I wasn't talking to you."" Isabella hissed into Mercy's ear, right as she did a small bow to the queen of Rohan.

[Namie]

Namie smiled and tried to hold back a laugh. It was sometimes amusing to see how people reacted to see some person they just happened to meet was a queen. "Honestly, I've never heard of those places, and I don't know much. I havn't been here for long and I am but a young adult who moved to this town, lost, one day. And then was queen the next." She looked at the two again and couldn't help it anymore. She burst out into laughter, and in a few moments she was standing up straight fixing her hair. "I'm sorry.. I'm not used to all the royalty stuff, and when people act different when they find out I'm a queen, I am amused. I'd rather be treated as a friend, not someone of a superior rank." She laughed a bit again, and then took a quick glance at the water. Her land legs were begining to bug her, but she still stood still to be polite.

Don't meet requirements...

A lone, thin shadow swam along the dark water's edge. Its tail curled at every direction change, and arm could be vaguely made out, crossed against the figure's chest.

Two inches... A measly two inches...

The shadow rose to the surface, and the head of a mermaid popped out from underneath the water. But this was no ordinary mermaid - it was Emoishlynne Psartan, the almost only gothic mermaid in Rohan. Only recently had she been turned away from climbing Roan Rock, as she was too short and a 'menace to society'.
But what was this? The queen of Rohan... greeting a land-walker, and a fairy?
Emo grinned slyly, then hopped onto the nearest boulder, trying to hide herself behind the viel of the waterfall. This would be interesting.

[Holly]

"Okay, Namie..." Mercy said hesitantly, the Queen's name strange on her tongue. "So.... how do you like your job? I don't mean to be bothering you, it's just I'm fishing for conversation here." Mercy shrugged, feeling a bit awkward. She drew a circle in the sand with the tip of her boot, sighing softly. Isabella just sat at on her shoulder, staring into the water, a dark look in her eyes.

[Namie]

Namie nodded and smiled, "It's okay...Besides the annoying work and the way your always treated surperior to others. That I'm not a big fan of.." She smiled again and walked slowly to the water edge and sat down, letting the waves over come her for a quick second. her tail began to show and she smiled, relieved. She turned her head to face Mercy and Isabella, "You guys just enjoying the view from the shore? It's a shame you......" She thought for a moment.. "Can you guys swim? I was think Isabella couldn't for sure... But I'm only used to mermaids, and water dwellers... I spend most of my time in the water.. So my land legs bug me often." She smiled and moved her tail side to side a few times, swaying it in the water. She thought she saw another figure out in the water. She tried to see if she could she a movement again, but she saw nothing.

[Caoli]

ooc :: Fine. I'll just lurk. Nyaaa.
*lurks* <<

[Holly]

Mercy nodded quickly, smiling brightly as her eyes glittered. "I can swim, of course. I prefer land, but it's probably because I don't spend most of my time in the water, but I can swim perfectly fine." Mercy then turned to Isabella, an expectant look on her face, never actually knowing if Isabella could swim.

Isabella shrugged. "I can swim. My wings get damp and way me down, so I can't fly and swim very fast, but the plain answer is, yeah, I can swim." She said, carelessly shrugging again, her face and eyes expressionless.

[Namie]

Namie glanced back at the figure she thought she saw earlier. "Well then nevermind. Unless, Isabella, You would like a ride from my fish. I can attach a shell to my fish and you can ride on the shell... Since you guys can't breath water I could show you around some surface areas if ya like." She smiled trying to be polite, and then swayed her tail in the water waiting for Isabella's response.
