Tawny listened as the boy stood and walked over thanking her for saving him. She smiled as she listened. "Um it was nothing really." She jumped as he started to freak out about her having a tail. She looked down at her blue tail and then back up at the boy. "Oh um... Ya... I'm a mermaid." Tawny was embarrassed, she was afraid that once she announced what she actually was that he would either freak out and go find someone to kill her, or just do it himself.<br/><br/>She spoke softly. "Please don't be afraid." Tawny pleaded softly. She knew it was shocking to someone like him to see that a girl as pretty as she was had a tail and lived with fish at the bottom of the ocean. Tawny looked down and tucked a piece of blue hair behind her ear shyly. She had never seen a human boy before so naturally she was curious, but she was afraid she wasn't making a good impression, and what he was about to endure wasn't the best thing that could happen either. Tawny decided not to tell him, foe he would just freak out again and she didn't want that.<br/><br/>"Oh um you're welcome by the way. And it's okay for what ya said, I... I didn't mind... R... Really." She was stuttering for some reason, she never stuttered when she talked usually I was all clear and crisp. Her voice wavered slightly and she cleared her throat softly. She didn't know what to do next, she was just as confused as he was. She may seem approachable but the thing was that she was incredibly shy and never really knew how to keep a conversation alive. She looked around nervously once again before making eye contact with the boy, her bright blue eyes feeling on his, she started to blush softly and then looked away.
