“Your tail. What does it feel like.” Liam asked again, drawing his attention from Moxiey’s tail to her face.
“Your tail. What does it feel like.” Liam asked again, drawing his attention from Moxiey’s tail to her face.
"It… It feels normal for me. Um, I just…" She flicked her tail and a small spray of water burst from where her fins had broken the surface.
Liam smiled, “Wow… that’s… that’s incredible.” He said, running a hand through his hair.
"What's walking like?" she asked eagerly, her shyness suddenly melting away. This was more her natural self - easygoing, fun, curious, extroverted…
Liam smiled, “Easy, I guess it feels the same as when you swim. Normal.” He lazily swung his legs back and forth in the water.
She watched in amazement. "Fascinating…" she murmured.
“Are there others? Like you?” Liam asked cautiously. He didn’t want to scare Moxiey off.
"Oh yes. A whole city!"
“Really? My gosh and barely anyone knows…” Liam rubbed his neck.
Moxiey bit her lip. "I shouldn't have told you that…"
“I won’t tell, I swear it.” Liam said, putting a hand over his heart.
Moxiey smiled softly. "What's that for?" she asked, pointing as his surf board.
"It's for riding the waves. There isn't any good waves to surf today but I thought I'd come out anyway." Liam replied, shrugging a shoulder.
"Riding waves?" Moxiey asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"You know, when the surf board can balance on the water and you can do tricks and stuff…" Liam said, rubbing his neck.
"We don't ride the waves like that," Moxiey remarked.
"How do you do it then?" Liam asked leaning forward slightly.
"We let the current pull us and the waves carry us to the shores," Moxiey explained, sighing happily. It was one of her favorite things to do.
"I've heard of some people doing that, we call it body boarding but most people use a board like this or smaller nowadays." Liam said, smiling.
"Bodyboarding…" Moxiey murmured, testing out the word.
"Yeah, bodyboarding… it's quite fun, although I do prefer surfing." Liam said.
"Can I watch you surf?" she asked shyly.
"Maybe another day, there aren't any good waves for surfing currently, otherwise I'd already be out there." He said, looking out over the calm waters.
"Oh. Will you be back tomorrow then?" she asked, perking up at the thought of possibly seeing him again.
Liam smiled, "Of course, the waves should be better by then."
"Wonderful!" she exclaimed. Then she bit her lip and turned slightly red. "Um…"
Liam chuckled, "So, what do mermaids do for fun?" He asked.
"My best friend and I swim with our dolphins a lot," Moxiey reflected.
"You can do that? Wow…" Liam smiled.
"Um… My cousins own a flower shop… I go there a lot…" When you aren't watching humans.
