Mystic reached forward and touched his red cheeks. "You are awfully warm. Are you getting sick? I heard land people can get sick." He tilted his head to the side. Watching him. "I have never kissed before then." He says seriously. Looking at him and blinks. "Eternal mana...hmm...I see." He says. Not really seeing but he wanted him to talk so he could learn more. He wanted to learn more. This was so fun learning stuff from him. Listening as he spoke. Quizzical about how you can kind of mate without actually mating. That really sounding contradictory. He shrugs. "Just kinda sorta." he says with a burst of bubbly laughter. He listens to him. He blinked as arms slid under him. Eeping then giggling as he wrapped his arms around Mika's neck. Holding on securely. Holding on and presses against him as he is walked down the hill with him in tow. The legs were starting to reform as he dried off. Then he was slid down into the water. Nodding his head. "It is good." He says. Slipping fully under the water and all you could see was little bubbles and his form really still yet the tail fin still flicked up and down a bit.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Mother. Mother I am safe now. I am alive please don't hurt anymore of those people on the floating wooden things. Mother I want to stay with a new friend for a bit. I will return some day soon but for now I want to learn stuff.</span>His long strands of golden hair flowed out around his form. Spread beneath him like a japanese or chinese fan that has been opened fully. The water shimmers as he gets a response.<span style="font-style: italic">Thank you mother. I love you.</span>He slowly sits his form up. His arms stronger than they appeared. As he slowly sat up the sunlight shimmered off the wet strands of hair. The scent of the sea was so much stronger yet still gentle as he sat up. The hair splayed out behind him and floating gracefully in the water.<br/><br/>He smiles at his friend. "Thank you Mika! Mother is happy and says I can spend as much time with my friend as I want to. That she will stop sinking ships now that I am safe." He says with bubbly giggles. He move in the water and pulled Mika in. Clothes and all. Giggling with playful bubbly laughter. His tail fin moving up and down in the water. Sometimes coming up out of the water. He was on his tummy. Splashing Mika and trying to get him to play with him in the water. Merfolk tended to be playful by nature.
