Meeting New Friends

Take your Serians here to chat or just roam their homeland.
The sun glitters above vast fields ringed by verdant forests to the north, mountains to the south and east, and wide rivers to the west.

He tilted his head, looking at her closely before pulling even with her in the waters. Sparkle floated for a moment, then dunked his head under the water to see a grinning merman hurring to fetch his pet, something that looked not at all cute but at least harmless. Then he surfaced, tilted his grin at Peppermint, and tickled her agian while she was being held. It was timed just right so the pet let go with the first giggle, and giving him time to dive under both for escape at a comeback and to swim around with the merman.

Peppermint would have said a moment before that she wouldn't move for anything, but when Sparkle tickled her she couldn't help but thrash away. Water sprayed up around her, blocking her view for a moment, and when she could see again, Sparkle wasn't there anymore. She caught a flash of wavy blue & yellow swimming away from her under the water, and realized where he must have gone. There was something swimming next to him, and she surmised that it must be the creature who had caught her. She ducked underwater to see what it was, and was surprised to find that Sparkle was swimming not with some fish, but with a merman and his pet. She'd not had the chance to meet a merman before, and her previous emotions were quickly replaced by curiousity. She swam closer, trying to get a good look at both the merman and his pet.

Sparkle grinned as she joined them, hoping she wouldn't want payback and nodding to his companion. Thor, He mouthed, a small bubble floating up out of his mouth. And Gem, he added, motioning to the pet. Why Thor would name that horrid creature Gem he didn't know, but far be it from him to ponder the wonders of a merman's mind.

"Pleased to meet you Peppy," Thor said, his voice as deep and rumbling as the waves around them. "Sparkle says you're quiet the sugar cane. Be careful you don't melt."

Grunting, Sparkle swam over and gave him a decisive thump on the head, blushing from what was said. She was sweet, sure, but he didn't want her to start thinking he liked her as more than a friend. He liked hanging out with her and if she started thinking that she might start avoiding him. And that would hurt since she'd worn a cavity in his heart with that same sweetness as one of his truly close friends.

Peppermint bobbed her head politely at Thor and blinked at Gem, trying to hide her thoughs about the name, which were running along the same line as Sparkle's. "So you're the one who grabbed me!" she exclaimed, and then shook a hoof at Gem in an admonishing fashion. "Well don't try it again, please, you nearly gave me a heart attack!"

She then turned to listen to Thor. She hadn't been around her own kind since childhood, and because of that was not used to thinking of herself as a possible object of romatic interest. The implications of the merman's statement went right over her head, leaving her slightly puzzled as to how she should react, particularly after seeing Sparkle's reaction. "Oh, um, thanks?" she studdered in reply.

"She's a mischievious little urchen, I admit, but it's all in good fun for her," Thor grinned and gave a little chuckle at Peppy's stutter. It sounded a bit like thunder to Sparkle and it made him grin.

"She's grabbed me a dozen times at least," he admitted, trying to keep as little air as possible from escaping his lungs as he spoke without speaking. "I always just twist under and tickle her. That just makes her hit my nose though."

Thor laughed agian, and let the thing go. She went straight to Sparkle's back and hung on as he swam in ever tightening circles trying to through her off. He finally succeeded and Gem tumbled through the waves with a squealing laugh that was like sea shells being scrubbed together. It wasn't entierly unpleasant though it wasn't something you'd choose to fall alseep to either.

"Here," Thor rumbled as he fetched his pet agian, "see if she'll take to you. It was love at first sight with sparkle, but then he's as impossible as she is."

Grinning, he swam over and let Gem go. She looked at Peppermint for a moment and then moved closer to poke at the short, pretty main that moved like seaweed. Impossible as she may be she was also shy and it would take Peppermint's reaction to decide if they would get along from the first.

The little creature's pokes to her mane tickled, and Peppermint laughed. She twisted her head around to look at Gem, and smiled. She flicked her tail so that it's ends came floating close to Gem, and then wiggled it in a (hopefully) enticing manner.
