Aerwyna was startled by the shouting coming from the boat. Immediately retracting her hands from the sleek wood of the boat she ducked under the cover of water where she remained. Perhaps she'd grown to bold in her curiosity. It wouldn't have been the first time. Blowing out a few irritated bubbles, she swam lazily towards the entrance of the cove, her keen eyes watching with caution to see who would be emerging and what their purpose was there.<br/><br/>She wasn't pleased having another boat hovering just above her home. She had treasures tucked all around the sea walls, along the floor, everywhere really. She wasn't a hoarder by any means, but mermaids by nature were attracted to shiny things. Toying with the mesh material of her belt she'd grown so distracted in her thoughts she'd verily nearly missed the heavy swaying coming from the boat then a splash.<br/><br/>Blue eyes narrowed into slits as she bared her teeth her nails digging into the hard rock of the coves side as she slipped into the farthest corner. She'd never encountered a human in her own element before. Sure, she'd seen them bobbing through the water, swimming or floating above the surface but none covered in such bulky material.<br/><br/>Making a quizzically  sound, she hung far back, observing as the female seemed to blow out bubbles of her own and she didn't have to resurface to breath. How strange. The blonde creature didn't like it, the unease settling in her belly, but as she stalked the female through the waters, her distance far off from the other she grew more comfortable. Unlike the other humans who had been invading her space, this human seemed to have a different task in mind.<br/><br/>There was a respect in the female, there was nothing toxic being dumped into the water, no trash just floating around. The human was simply exploring in the best way possible. Nearly like a mermaid. Pleased by this discovery, Aerwyna chirped at several schools of fish, the exotic colors and species fluttering by as she urged them towards the female with a push of her powerful tail, curious to see what the human would do.
