Cold.
That was the only word to describe the underwater for Azul, waiting in the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean.
It's only a matter of time before he sees the surface once again, he's waiting for the right time.
He's just waiting for her to return.
"What're you doing? You've been staring at that pendant for a whole hour straight now, y'know.~"
He snapped out of his trance, glancing at the source of the voice with an exhausted sigh.
"You know that I have to keep an eye on this so I can see if she had return or not, right Floyd? It's the only way I can know that she's back."
A nonchalant smile tugged on Floyd's lips, lazily swimming his way to circle the cecaelia who sat near the entrance of the cave, holding what seems to be an amulet on his palm.
"I know~, but that's not all the things you could do while waiting, y'know.~ Jade and I encountered an interesting merfolk yesterday, he seems to be very naive and easy to fool."
"Oh? And who is this "interesting person" you speak of, hm?"
Azul half-heartedly questioned, playing with the piece of gem in his hands and letting out a sad noise when it still hasn't glowed.
"Here's the good and bad thing, Azul. The naive fool is the son of King Triton, meaning he is one of the prince of the Atlantic.~"
Azul paused, a gasp leaving his lips as he caught the amulet he almost dropped.
"What did you just say...?"
"Fufu, he never mentioned his name though I am definitely sure he is the King's son. You can tell with that red hair he has even from a mile away. You know where I'm heading to with this, right?"
A chuckle was heard from Azul, but not in an amused or humored way.
"I see.... looks like the King has left his guard down now, has he? Bad mistake. I'll make good use of his son, just like he did to my family..."
"Hmm, do you want us to lead the boy here? He's pretty desperate to go to the surface, you know.~"
A smirk was on Floyd's face as he suggested the idea, knowing full well that Azul has the perfect plan for it.
