Melody let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Yasashi was fine. She looked at her mother who nodded to tell him the Mermaid Code.<br/><br/>"Well... There's this code among us merfolk. If a human sees us for what we really are, either the mermaid who was seen or the human must die. The only way to keep both parties from death is marriage." Melody looked at her mother who nodded. She opened her narrow yet seductive eyes and stared down at Yasashi. "And you, have laid eyes on my daughter so choose your fate... Either kill my daughter, or yourself. Or agree to marry her."<br/><br/>Just then Genzo popped up out of the water, he was screaming. His face was red and if this were an anime, he would have smoke coming from his ears. Akari gave him a hard smack to the face and he reached up and rubbed it softly. "What was that for babe...?" He whimpered to his wife. Genzo was more masculine, but it was clear to anyone who saw them who wore the pants in the relationship.<br/><br/>Akari looked back at the Yasashi. "What day you human? Death? Or marriage at a young age?" Her voice seemed to echo. Marriage at such a young age was mostly frowned upon in modern times. But the Mermaid Code was law. And it had to be followed one way or another.<br/><br/>Sent from my LG-H900 using Tapatalk
