Lovino sighed and swam a little faster, his brothers chattering happily behind him, trading shells and baubles that decorated their tails, Lovi detested the idea, his tail was plain, it was dull, so why dress it up to be something it's not?

he twisted into a higher current and sped off, leaving Sunny and Feli behind him. his grotto was silent, not a sound for miles around but the faint swish of the current, he slipped between a few rocks and found the music box, a trinket from the surface, the only trinket he ever collected, slowly he turned the key and the slow, soft notes flowed around him, a waltz.

Lovi twisted and spun through the water, singing along to the music, smiling to himself, he never felt more at home than when he was alone with this music box.
