What ... Friends She Has!
"Tallese, Kamara, Odeum, Kanto... I'd like you to meet my new freshling, Pandora." She announces as if she's presenting me at a show and tell. Her voice is overly happy and it makes me want to cringe as I notice the four other creatures in the grand bedroom.
One female had pale white skin. Her sheer white hair faded into dark grey, then deep violet. Her slim torso is defined well with muscle until her hips descend into a pure white tail fading into dark mauve the further my eyes travel. Her face was darkly stern, and she looked to be in a heated debate with the red-haired merman floating next to the walk-in closet. I glance further and find more mers partying under the sea. A male with sandy locks allows three females to flatter him with a few sweeps of their tails. The coral colors bring a snarl to my lips as I spot them. My eyes catch chocolate irises, and I could swear I saw a white line cross both of his pupils. Turning my attention back to the slim mermaid, I notice nothing covers her bosom as she displays it confidently, shying me to look away from her striking lavender eyes. The way she moves is so powerful and fierce that I can hardly watch her with a calm heart.
The other mermaid in the room was a dull, colorful coral, pink fading in and out of the drabish orange scales, accenting her curves and the pink streaks in her bright hair. Her hair reaches her lower back, floating everywhere around her. She was quite slender in build with a few beauty marks enhancing her hips. Her tail is just as long as Larose's, only with a few more fins than the others. She was upset, the apparent frown on her face appears in her facial expression. Even with a frown on her face, she was still quite lovely to look at; model worthy. actually. Next to her, a man with a green tail floats. His dark forest eyes dart back and forth between the debaters when the other two abruptly stop, silently listening to Larose as she speaks cheerfully to them. His green tail swishes the current beneath us, creating a mini-tsunami, while he glares at the other male before them. His strong build hides the slender coral mermaid from the fight. The feeling they were a couple of some sorts rang through my head because of his protective tendencies, but they could also be brother and sister. Only, the ferocity within his dark orbs said otherwise.
The last merman I saw was covered with dark blue scales from his navel and down. His face was turned in a nasty scowl while his chest heaves up and down. He was genuinely beautiful, just like the other three I had begun to comprehend before me, but the expression he displayed from his face foreshadowed how dangerous he was; someone to steer clear of unless I was looking for thrilling drama. I will admit, he is definitely well-built with a handsome face like the other merman, Odeum, I believe. His rugged red hair swished above his head in swift motions as he gave off more attitude than necessary.
All four sets of eyes fell upon me and I blankly stare back, unsure of what to do. The pink tailed mermaid, whom I believe to be Kamara, smiles brightly after hearing Larose speak, "Pandora, these are my fils—"
Whom I'm guessing is Kamara doesn't even let her finish as she swims over, inspecting every inch of me. The long strands of her rose gold hair sway around her shoulders as she swims around me in circles, checking out each inch of my scales and mer figure. She gasps softly after every few moments with my fins or a few of my scales, then tenderly touches the place that astonished her. Kamara made me self-conscious suddenly as she inspected me from head to, uh, fin I guess I can say. I wished desperately that she would stop, forgetting that they could read my mind. Kamara giggles like a little girl, stopping in front of me with an overly innocent look on her face like the azure mermaid had done earlier. "My, my. Aren't you just the most remarkable color under the seven seas! You are so voluptuous. With all your curves and those heavenly eyes... Maybe I should beware of you," she chuckles dryly. I could hear the threat in her voice as she giggled, and realized how much of a threat it really was. I gulped softly, surprised at her words towards me. We had only met mere moments ago and here she is already threatening me. She had to be territorial of her male.
I saw the victorious smile on her face and sighed softly, smiling myself out of relief. The other mermaid, Tallese, glares at the red-haired Kanto before she swims next to Kamara and finally takes a look at me. Her dark eyes widen at the sight of my tail. The pale creature scrutinizes my ombre of scales that littered my body. The mermaid tenderly deals with my fins as the strongly built merman swims over, resting his arm around Kamara's waist. She nuzzles into his chest and I turn away before she can send a glare at me for staring. I couldn't help it; I was envious of what they had.
Patiently, I wait for Tallese to finish her observation of my mermaid form and watch as Kanto swims over reluctantly. He seemed more focused about boredom than to welcome, or inspect, a new mer into the society. Seems not all merfolk are friendly or chatty. I avoid each of the mers' stares by looking to Larose in feign curiosity. She smiles knowingly, giggling to herself. Before she could make a comment in regards to my face, Tallese pops in front of me, causing me to jerk back in freight.
"With the proper training," she whispers to herself with demanding curiosity and intruding eyes, "it's possible she could be..." There was a silent pause within the room. At the soft hum of Tallese, Kanto even glances towards the two of us in slight intriguement. "Are you willing Pandora?" She suddenly asks me.
