Dimitri had intensely enjoyed his week in Boston thus far. The first few days had him worried greatly that he was making the future more difficult by staying here. But with each day that passed on, he worried less and less. What lied ahead was ahead, but Alannah was here right now. She worked very often, which left Dimitri to generally wander around Boston doing nothing important in particular. Occasionally he'd see something that would remind him of home and he'd think for a while. Wandering Boston just wasn't the same without Alannah there to hold his hand the whole time. Even though he saw her every single night since they'd met, he still found himself missing her quite often when she wasn't around. To think, it was just a week ago that he'd kissed a mermaid underwater, the idea wasn't nearly as crazy as it should have been. What was for sure in Dimitri's mind was that this was more than just worth it. This was one of the happiest weeks he'd ever experienced. He'd met someone that he felt he needed to keep in his life now, if only things weren't so complicated, he wished. She would always have to spend a whole day under water every single week, so they could never go somewhere without water for more than a couple days. Not that it bothered him, he deeply admired that she was a mermaid. What was really complicated was him. He'd seen things she'd never have to even imagine. He was always worried he'd pull her into something, and worse, that she'd want him gone for it. The thought made him shudder.<br/><br/>Tonight was the night Alannah would have to be under water again. Dimitri actually was very excited to be able to spend time with her once more, being alone with just her and only the ocean around them was always perfect. Sadly, that was hours away from now. He pictured her at work, in her uniform, it was enough to make him smile. The brick paths he'd found in Boston were different than he'd imagine from a big city. They screamed colonial to him, though it was a nice vibe. It was during a walk next to quite an impressive glass building that he glimpsed into the reflection, and on the other side of the street, he saw someone. Someone that stood out, among the others that were coming and going, she simply stood out and was staring at him. His head immediately turned to look in the direction of where the reflection was located. There she was, his mother. Wearing apparel that looked nothing like it belonged in the city. She stuck out more than he did at this point, at least in his opinion. His eyes widened, and as a car passed to block his line of sight?<br/><br/>She simply was no longer there when the line of sight returned.<br/><br/>At that moment there were no other cars crossing in his way, and Dimitri suddenly started to run towards that direction. There was nobody there except those coming and going at that moment, and so he chose to run into an alleyway that was close by. His breaths were now heavy and loud, what could his mother possibly be doing in Boston? His eyes ran rampant in the alleyway, searching for any signs of his mother. He walked deeper into the alleyway, never hearing a single footstep behind him. But eventually a voice suddenly spoke, and Dimitri's head sprang backwards to see where it was coming from. There stood a man he'd never once seen. Cleanly shaven, maybe in his twenties. His hair looked to be a dirty blond, and his attire looked as though he came from meeting with every business owner in the world.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"You haven't come a very far way."</span>The man said, his hands folded and resting at his waist. He had a smile on his face, one that nearly spoke sinister, Dimitri didn't even answer in that moment of confusion.<span style="color: #BF0000">"I'm surprised to see you're in Boston still. I personally thought you'd be damn near the west coast by now. Who knows? Maybe you'd even make it to a third ocean?"</span>The man said, only appearing amused.<br/><br/>"Where's my mom?" Dimitri asked, his voice coming out much more demanding than he realized possible.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about."</span>The man said, Dimitri only offered an enraged look.<span style="color: #BF0000">"I don't even know your name boy, much less your family. I'm here to make sure you simply continue on to the next ocean so that you can keep funneling knowledge into that thick skull of yours."</span>Dimitri inched closer, not quite sure. What was he supposed to say?<br/><br/>"Who are you?" Dimitri attempted to demand, the man only returned a skeptical look. A look almost as if to say 'I don't answer to you' or something of the like.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF0000">"If it'll make you feel better, fine. I was sent by dear old daddy. He's been looking over you, and might I say, he is not impressed from what I hear. So I've been sent to give you a little nudge to hurry up whatever this little affair is. Consider this a nudge. Take some time, but also hurry it up. You don't want me to have to turn it into a push."</span>The man simply turned around, and Dimitri didn't have a reply. There were a thousand things going through his mind, but shortly after the man left, Dimitri ran after him.<br/><br/>Dimitri couldn't find a single sign of him. He spent the next couple hours looking around, hoping maybe he'd see his mother again, or that man. But he found nothing. He was flooded with confusion, uncertainty, anger, and sadness. When he realized the time, he nearly ran to Grover's Point. He was frightened to bring this up to Alannah, it only made his feelings worse on the subject. Yet, he couldn't wait to see her again. He wanted to see her and let all of this leave his mind. But one thing echoed in his mind. What if this was enough to send her away?<br/><br/>He waited where she and him departed their first time after meeting, in the water around there anyway. He found himself straying away, going deeper in. His fascination of his powers down here were suddenly at large. Up there, that man could get away with showing up and not explaining. Down here, there wasn't much Dimitri could sway. It was when he heard a feint splash in the distance that the trance he was in broke, and he willed the water to bring him forth, as fast as it could. His voice was fully of worry. But as he layed his eyes on her, he couldn't help but at least attempt to hug her. "Alannah. I think we should talk."
