Human/elf talk

merpeople talk

The Elven Castle...

Three days later...

Trellis was in awe of the new sea creature, though he never really got to see her as much. Ever since she was brought to the royal tank, she was brought to the royal tank, she would only hide in the sea caves until she would be fed some fish. The elf boy really wanted to see the crimson mermaid come out of her watery prison and try to communicate with her. The young prince only had a couple of glimpses of her and he still wants to see her. After hours of failure of finding her, he'd decided to draw for a bit.

He'd tried hours of failure of finding her, he'd decided to draw for a bit.

First, he'd tried luring her out with some food, it didn't hours of failure of finding her, he'd decided to draw for a bit.

Next, he'd tried seashells for her home, a couple hours of waiting it didn't work but after he'd returned he saw that she'd decorated.

After hours of failure of finding her, he'd decided to draw for a bit.

Emily pov.

I'd hated this. I hate being a prisoner. I wanted to escape the tank and return back to the pack but no matter how much I'd tried I can't escape. My mother, Navin, all of my friends, I'll never see them again and it is all their fault. The minute I am free I will make them pay and find a way home!

I heard something from my cave, it's him again.

The pale face two-fins with slit eyes and a merman scar.

Can't he take the hint that I don't want him here? Does he enjoy torturing me-!

Wait, what are those weird noises?

Trellis pov.

As I'd scribbled away to draw her, I began to hear her swimming. I didn't want her to flee so I'd pretend not to notice her and continued drawing. I heard curious chittering as I felt the mermaid's presence above my shoulder.

I'd smiled and showed her the drawing of herself. She'd tilt her head as she saw the picture, then she'd looked at me.

There was a brief moment of silence between us as I'd tried to reach her hand through the glass but she'd snarled and swam away.

Shoot, I was close.

I'd thought for a moment on what to do and I'd had an idea. I'd breathed on the glass and began to scribble on it. She'd came back to see what I was writing.

Emily pov.

What was he'd doing? He was scribbling something on the prison wall. It was almost nonsense to me but if you'd look closely, it looked like Splash Writing. T. R. E. L. L. I. S. Trellis? Is that his name. He then began to draw me again. It looks kinda like fun...

Third pov.

The mermaid breathed on the glass like Trellis did as she'd drew random lines all over the breathed area. When the elf prince touched the lines from the other side of the glass, Emily growled.

Touched.

GROWL!

Touched.

GROWL!

Touched.

GROWL!

Touched.

GROWL!

Trellis then tried to maneuver away from the lines as he'd realized that his hand was closed to hers. Slowly, he'd touched it from beyond the glass and Emily almost purred. But then she'd growled and returned to her nest.

"At least we're making progress..." Trellis muttered as he'd smiled a bit.
