Who says we can only travel when there's a distress call? We could just pop off for a vacation.

[furgood]

Have we ever 'popped off for a vacation'? Every time we head somewhere there's a problem. [She turns away suddenly in a slow circle and finally finds a scrap of blue to dance through her fingers] Even diving in the ocean as a mermaid helped bring Color to the surface.

[devoutish]

We haven't, no, but I don't see why we couldn't. Surely it's within Zephyr's capabilities.

[He watches her with interest, consider the little flit of color.]

Which colors are yours?

[furgood]

Gold, green, red. Mostly gold. Not usually blue but I can't complain.

[She smiles] I'd love to see the world they created. The limit? Something. It must be beautiful.

[devoutish]

Ask them.

[He says, giving her another little nudge.]

Honestly. I'm sure we could go.

[furgood]

[Meulin links her arm through his, humming thoughtfully] They'd have to look a bit but I could ask.

[devoutish]

Ask about the wings, too, while you're at it.

[furgood]

Pft, sure, stick me with all the weird requests, why don't you?

[When they finally reach the bathhouse, she opens the door with a happy sigh at the warm air] I should make you ask one of them. Sharing.

[devoutish]

You're the one who wants them.

[He says, dropping his coat on a lounge chair and immediately starting to strip.]

[furgood]

Like you don't want to visit the Sister's world too. Just to see.

[She does the same really, throwing off her coat onto a chair and neatly stacking the rest of her things atop it]

[devoutish]

[He ducks over to a locker and pulls out a swimsuit - an actual pair of swimming trunks, not his old-fashioned suit from home - and tugs it on.]

-- I would, yeah. I'd be curious.

[furgood]

[She pauses to watch and then slips off her shirt.] Who gave you a modern suit? I remember you distinctky telling me your things were far more covering.

[devoutish]

I've still got that one. This one came from Zephyr; they were handing them out one summer.

[furgood]

Looks good. Bathing in a whole outfit would be silly. If I didn't think people would think I'm weird, I wouldn't be wearing a bathing suit at all.

[She hums, adjusting the strap of her top. Underneath all her layers, she's wearing her bathing suit instead of underwear.]

[devoutish]

It's not a whole outfit.

[He protests, stifling a smile.]

It comes down to the knees and elbows, that's all. And you can go without the suit, if you like. I'll never tell.

[furgood]

It's a whole outfit, I've worn less clothing out of the water, let alone in.

[Biting back a laugh] I might go without. Wouldn't be as weird as it would if you were wearing that whole thing.

[devoutish]

Go ahead with it. Scandalize anyone who comes in.

[He says, sounding delighted by the prospect.]

[furgood]

I'll blame it on you. Terrible influence that you are.

[She unsnaps the clasp on her top without fanfare, stepping out of the bottoms just as easily. They're left with the rest of her things as she makes her way towards the water, ready to dip a toe in to see just how hot it was. Though she definitely throws him a grin over her shoulder]

[devoutish]

[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.
