Silver Creek Silver Waters

He rather liked Amber. She was quick with her replies, a sharp mind. She returned his flirting in full, batting her long lashes at him and feigning innocence. He thought perhaps he'd found a kindred spirit in her and saw the beginnings of a mutually entertaining relationship. Her tail tickled at him here and there and he returned the teasing gesture by snapping lightly at it, always sure to just miss. She halted after a moment, fixing him with a sly look. He didn't mind. If she was toying with him for some ulterior motive, he wouldn't mind that either. So long, of course, as that motive wasn't one of darkness. He didn't see darkness in her though, he saw only the goodness of a playful female. This could be another ruse, of course, that he was falling blindly for...but blindly falling he was.

He didn't doubt that she could protect herself, her confidence to flirt with an unknown male didn't seem to come from naivete. She knew she had abilities, knew she could defend herself if worst came to worst. Confidence in a woman was beautiful, it lit their eyes with an inner light. He was purely content to bask in that light, in those gazes. He nodded, a smirk twitching at his lips as he tried to maintain a serious face. "Ah, yes. I suppose you wouldn't have a clue. We're both innocent of any true motives, right? Just a male and female who happened across each other and decided to have a romp." He nodded, winking at her. "I'll keep my story straight for the others, you need not worry."

Now that he was well and truly interested in her, now that she was not only a pretty-faced mermaid he'd pulled from the river, he wanted to know more of her. "So since I caught you, don't I get a prize? Three wishes?" His mother had told a tale of a brute who'd caught a magic talking fish once, though he was sure the fish didn't have the eyes or figure that his catch did. "A kiss, perhaps? A little more information about you?" He knew she was Spring's sister, but he didn't know if she'd come to this land with her sister, he didn't know her story. He couldn't resist throwing the kiss in there though.
