*Rhone had been swimming for quite a while now, passing reefs he had never seen and fish species he hadn't even heard of. He had seen the sun set and rise over him multiple times, though he hadn't counted. He was starting to get somewhat exhausted. He had had enough food, foraging ocean plants, but that didn't keep the need to rest from creeping into him. He didn't even have much of a purpose to be swimming so long, he was only traveling! He decided to take a rest on a large flat rock on the shallow floors. The water was warmer than the trenches he was used to, quite pleasant. He sighed contently as he laid onto the rock, though he didn't close his eyes, not wanting to sleep. He decided he would wait until tomorrow to start traveling again..*

*Somewhere above Rhone, Torren was swimming. He didn't seem to be travelling. No, he wasn't swimming in any one direction. He swam in every direction he could go. Propelled by his powerful tail, Torren swam straight ahead. Then he dove down, made a sharp turn to the right, then shot straight up, breaking surface. He leapt in the air, embracing the air time to look over the beautiful sparkling ocean. The light reflecting off the surface is in turn reflecting off of his bright yellow eyes. He let out an exhilarated gasp before falling back down into its embrace. The sound of his giddy whooping and laughing likely reached the ears of the other Treton. Torren doesn't seem to have noticed Rhone's presence yet.*

*Rhone sat up a bit at the sound of a gleeful cheer. He glanced over to see another Treton. He wished he was in a more exciting mood than tired at the moment. He reluctantly got off his rock and started to swim towards the other treton. He was more using his tail as a leg on the bottom of the sand rather than swimming with it though, we wasn't used to the lack of water pressure. Rhone raised his webbed hand with a wave, hoping to catch the other treton's attention. He would want someone who could show him areas to skip stones and safe places to explore. Possibly even help as an ally.*

*Torren swam straight up once more, breaking surface and leaping through the air again. When he fell back in, getting ready to dive, he noticed Rhone and waved.* "Oh, hello! Hi! What's your name?" *Torren swam quickly towards the Eel Treton. He looked downright excited to see another one of his kind. His voice held the same giddy energy as before, with a hint of curiosity directed at Rhone. Looking at him, he didn't seem to be carrying much at all. Torren only had a quiver of crossbow quarrels, the types that hunters would be using, but no crossbow.* "Wait, was it rude to ask without introducing myself first? Sorry! My name is Torren, what's yours?"

*He sighed in relief, worried before that the other triton would ignore him. Rhone gave him a tired but friendly smile.* "No, you're fine." *He said with a wave of his hand.* "I'm Rhone. *He rose off the ocean floor a bit so he wouldn't be resting on the ground awkwardly.* "I've never seen the sky before the last few weeks, I lived real deep. It is quite beautiful, the sun and stars." *He started, trying to make conversation. It came out well enough. He swam up to the surface, waves breaking over him. He hadn't been above water yet, the air stung strangely at his gills. He did, though, stare in awe at the now glittering stars, his mouth falling open slightly. He swam back under the waves.* "Yup, that's for sure." *He said, agrreing with himself.*

"Nice to meet you, Rhone!" Torren watched as Rhone went up above the surface. He doesn't follow the other up, instead opting to stay just beneath the surface. He already saw the beauty of the stars and the moon reflecting off of the gentle waves. "It is, isn't it? My tribe and I are nomads, we don't usually stay very long. But! We get to see lots of things like this." Torren seems to be sizing up the other. He's starting to make the connection that Rhone have been travelling for a while. And travelling away from his home in the deep? "So... What're you doing here in the shallows? Are you going somewhere?"
