"So," I drag on the word awkwardly as I sit on the kelp-made bed as I stared at Nexee and Elian, Buboo was just swimming in circles trying to make his nose touch his little tail, "what do you guys do for fun?"Nexee immediately began to glow where her markings are as she stood quickly and began clapping her legs, a large smile making its way into her fairy-like face, " We need to teach you the basics!" She turns to Elian who begins to consider it, his handsome face scrunched up slightly as he looks up at her after a while, running a hand through his honey golden hair. He nods and removes his cape in a swift pull, standing as well. He turns to look at me with a smile and nudges his head toward a small trunk in the corner of the room.
I get up as I walk on the water awkwardly, not used to the feeling until I just decide to swim with a small push of my hands and my feet kicking behind me. I look at the red metal trunk and then back at Elian who encourages me to open it with a wave of his hand then returning to placing them to behind his back. I breathe out in the water as small air bubbles release from my action of exaggeration and I open up the golden latch as I pull the trunk open and unravel the red blanket on top of it. As I finish unraveling the trunk like a small present, I catch sight of some rainbow-like fish scales. As I grab a hold of the smooth material, I pull it out to fully inspect it and notice it's a bodycon type of outfit made out of some black iridescent scales. I look at the work and admire the long shimmering sleeves, the heart neckline, the smoothness and warmth of the material. I look at Nexee and notice her outfit. She wears a bodycon type of outfit too, except hers is an all-green scale outfit with a small golden chain around her small waist, accenting her slightly pale and glowing skin. Her arms were fully exposed as well as the back being cut to show off the skin there, accenting her markings proudly that was now a black painted color when they weren't glowing. Like a really big and painful tattoo. Her eyes really pop and gleam with her whole overly happy attitude.
I look at Elian and he is wearing some black scaled pants that were as tight as a wetsuit bottom. He had on some type of silver armor with a scaled design that exposed his toned and muscled arms as well as a bit of his tanned chest. His arm's markings, in contrast to Nexee's, were white when they didn't glow their golden color. I pulled out the outfit fully and held it out for inspection in front of them, admiring it openly, "This is beautiful."
Nexee giggles and swims towards me as she holds it up towards my body before nodding in approval, "I think this looks perfect for her." She turns to Elian who is smiling at me with a gleam in his bright eyes, "What do you think, your highness?"
Elian hums and looks at me with it before rubbing his chin, "I think it's missing something." He swims to the trunk as he moves things around before he pulls out a mermaid-style crown. It was all white with colored jewels and a golden chain, some small starfish and different shaped shells shaped the band around the head. I was in love. I looked at Nexee who was smiling and noticed her head lacked one, "Do all girls wear them or something? 'Cause Nexee doesn't have one."
