[And he's certainly not going to let her have all the fun. He'll drop his shorts and follow her to the pool, grabbing her by the hand and gently tugging her in deeper.]

[furgood]

[With a bright laugh, Meulin follows, humming with delight at the hot water]

I could live in here.

[devoutish]

You'd need to turn into a mermaid again for that. Would you do it?

[furgood]

I could deal with it for the winter.

[She grins, dipping down to her chin] I think you'd all get tired of me hanging around bugging you for snacks.

[devoutish]

Oh?

[He runs a hand down her back, shoulder to hip.]

Is that a common mermaid activity, then?

[furgood]

[Eyes half shut, she smiles up at him]

Obviously. How else do we get all those delicious cakes. No cakes in the water.

[devoutish]

Exactly, yes; no cakes in the water. Sounds to me like you should be swearing off snacks entirely.

[furgood]

And what am I supposed to eat then? [She drapes her arms around his neck and raises an eyebrow] Going to stock these bath with fish?

[devoutish]

Just don't eat the ones in the wall.

[He says, motioning to the built-in fish tank.]

[furgood]

You know I own pet fish right? I do know the difference between friends and food with fish.

[devoutish]

Tell me more about your fish.

[He says, sinking into the water with a contented sigh.]

[furgood]

They belonged to my friends and I wished them here. Because I'm pretty sure no one was there to take care of them.

[Hum] So now they're mine. I showed them to Zefur y'know, there's big versions of them in the ocean.

[devoutish]

Did you visit with them when you were a mermaid, or was this after?

[furgood]

I visited when they were playing with the ocean. When they placed them in the ocean. Though I still see them when I'm out on the ocean.

[devoutish]

And do they make good pets, fish? I never much saw the point of them myself.

[furgood]

Hmn, they're different. They have personalities but it's less so than dogs or cats. Smaller. You don't have to do as much for them.

[devoutish]

How can you read a fish's personality?

[furgood]

You know, like any animal. Some are more interested in food, some less. Some explore their bowl, seem interested in the world. Move faster, so on.

[She illustrates her point with her hands, doing through the water, poking at Alfie and then darting away]

[devoutish]

[He makes a playful grab for her hand, flicking water at her.]

You should ask Zephyr for the ability to speak with them.

[furgood]

[She snatches up his hand, tugging it up under her chin. Hers now, no takebacks]

Then I hear fish talk and who wants to eat something that's talking to them?

[devoutish]

You're not gonna eat your fish, are you?

[furgood]

Nooo... But I do eat fish. So I don't want to speak to them.

[devoutish]

That's easy enough to solve; ask to only be able to speak to your own.

[furgood]

Mnnn...I guess. [Crooked smile] You're all with the wish ideas today.

[devoutish]

It's been a while since I've wished for something myself. I've only got ideas for the rest of you.
