Yin: I'm trying to get some more work in.
Yang: LOL :P
"We can get out?" Kitty spoke to the other mermaid.
"Hush!"
Kitty was quiet.
"My name is Amara. I have been wanting to get into the world for a long time...you are my ticket out. But we must work together."
Kitty listened.
"Hey squirt." Lance walked up to Nathan.
"Hey." His voice cracked like he was about to cry, which caught Lance off-guard.
"So..."
"So?"
"Captain says we need to talk."
"About?"
Lance stared Nathan in the eyes.
"Oh...her."
"We don't have to."
"Yeah...I...I miss her..."
"I do too." Lance walked with Nathan to the the hold, pouring a couple glasses of ale, handing one to Nathan.
Nathan looked at oddly, and Lance remembered the boy had never touched the stuff since his birthday.
"Drink. It's good for what ails you." Both of them laughed at Lance's joke.
Kitty swam silently behind Amara. They entered the throne room.
Kitty gulped. She knew she was trained...but this was far from what she had done before.
The leader mermaid looked at her, fire in her eyes.
Amara nudged Kitty.
"I, Katherine Ann Pryde, hereby chalenge you, Matriarch Murirruhgach Aigean to the challenge of freedom!"
Yin: What about that huh?
Yang: Interesting.
