He just stood there as she leaped from the waves. He got a better look at the shark tail. Imagining a shark tail on a human had never looked that good in his mind, even if it was blue, which hers wasn't anyway. Still, as he gazed at her, he had to admit that it was a beautiful sight. There was a sense of grace and majestic nature in it. He was glad when it seemed as though she was coming his way. It wasn't until then that he figured it out.<br/><br/>It was her.<span style="font-style: italic">No way. I must just be... what?</span>Dimitri's thoughts were in utter dismay. He wasn't even sure what to say, or how to say it. The odds of this were just astronomical. Maybe this was the connection, why he'd felt so much regret in leaving her back at Grover's Cliff. Still, even now, with the sense of relief came a sense of nervousness. What was he supposed to say? He didn't have anything witty or charming to say. Was he supposed to express his admiration? Or was he just supposed to say how happy he was to see her? Or none of the above? All he knew for sure as that he was just staring at her in some light disbelief for a few moments after she spoke. He finally kicked himself into motion as he squatted down to be closer to her. "First time... um, first time in Boston. I come to the ocean... kinda often." He said, completely answering the question as though it was serious.<br/><br/>The second he spoke he felt his face turn red, he was speaking like a total dope. From the embarrassment of that, and trying to talk to her while he thought it was a shark, he was feeling pretty nervous. "I mean... sorry. I'm really happy to see you again, Alannah. I just didn't realize that I, you know, talked to a shark in front of you." He hadn't registered that she was nude until now and he covered his eyes. "Oh Christ, I'm<span style="font-style: italic">SO</span>sorry." He exclaimed. "But... yeah. I'm glad you're here. Even if you're a mermaid. Especially because you're a mermaid actually... it's actually kind of attractive." Dimitri said, in hushed tones.
