"You're only human, too diluted to be anything else, what with the eons of separation. Mixed offspring of the fae have a history of forgetting their heritage and becoming hunters." Lena wrapped her fingers slowly around Kara's ankle, if she just dragged this foolish maiden to her pod... "You're attuned to magical beings and will always have a knack for finding sacred grounds."
Lena looked up at Kara, found the sunlight haloed around the human's face. She released her grip as Kara offered a genuinely apologetic expression. "I'm sorry your species was hunted, I'm…, is there anything I can do now?"
'What a calf.' Lena couldn't imagine killing something so guileless. She could claim that it wasn't sporting, but the pod wouldn't care. Kara had hunter blood and it made her a threat. Talking to her now was supposed to be a threat, but there was no one else for Lena to converse with and even for one that preferred solitude as she did… Mermaids were still pod creatures.
"Not unless you could turn back the motion of time."
"I can't do that, but if I could I would." Kara said, once again earnestly apologetic.
Lena waved her hand, pushing away the apology and dove deep into the water. She couldn't handle this strange human.
'If you don't mind I have a question.' Kara thought out to the siren.
'Ask.'
'You had legs, how?'
Lena emerged her upper body from the waters and swam towards the shallower waters, waiting for Kara to match her pace along the pier. As she came to the sandy banks she had to wade her way up in a manner that made Kara think of sea turtles beaching to lay eggs.
It certainly wasn't graceful.
Lena glared daggers up at Kara. "You asked and I'm showing, will your commentary continue to be rude."
Kara gulped and motioned to offer help, but Lena hissed at her.
"Sorry!"
When Lena felt she had moved far enough up onto the beach laid out on her back and let her tail drape onto soft dry sand.
Kara waited quietly, being mindful she didn't just stare at Lena's nakedness, but after 5 minutes. "Do you need me to go while you say a spell or…?"
Lena snorted, and closed her eyes as she stretched out under the sun. "I have to dry completely before I can regain my legs."
