Arina

"Ow!," I shout grabing at my back.

"Sorry miss, is that to tight," says a lonely servent girl.

"Yeah."

She loosened the waist line and I was able to breath again, human females endure so much pain for beauty.

"All done, if you need me please just call," She said and left the room.

I look down at the gown, and then in the mirrior "not bad." It wasn't really my color, but design was perfect with a flowing waist to hem. A secure bust and natural waist, with a little hip.

"Pink? That doesn't seem like you."

"Taryn, don't even dare make fun. Your wearing tights, and that's not you at all."

"Touche," he said standing in the door way.

"Come inside, don't just stand there," I offered. I pulled him inside, he resisted and wouldn't move.

"I came to get you for dinner," He groaned.

"Okay," I utter and follow him to the dinning room. Axel and his family was waiting for us, we sat down and begun eating. Not long after conversation started to follow.

"Where are my manners, I'm Axel's mother, Cassandra. It's nice to meet you, Arina. Any friends of Axel are welcome, will you be staying till the coronation?"

"Thank you. I'd like too but," I said and Taryn doug his elbow into my side, I could take a hit. "I'll have to talk to my father about it."

"What does he do?," Sebastian asked, sending suspicious glares my way. He looked slippery, I decided to keep my eyes on him and he did the same to me.

"He guards the waters," I said, putting food in my hole to avoid more questions.

"Your dad's in the Navy?," questioned Roman.

Taryn took control of the situation for me, "Yes. He's be deployed for quiet sometime, leaving me ncharge of his daughters safety."

"How lovely. Joanna, there you are, come in and eat. We have more guest with us, introduce yourself."

Queen Cassandra welcomed a young lady, she looked no older than me, she was stunning and graceful. She took the empty seat next to Axel, "Hello, nice to meet you." Axel smiled at her presence, they must be a couple. The dinner went on, Axel's uncle kept asking questions, but Taryn had a anwser for each one. He was quite immpressive, under pressure he was calm and it made me feel the same way. I don't know what I do without him here, most likely I would expose mermaids, and be in deep water.
