Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[changa]

"Well," he said, "I think he said he'd go get help. And stop that... mermaid-slayer... pirate guy. He might be at home."
Syrena bit her lip. "But the pirate will be expecting us at home. Surely Philip would..."

[Question]

Philip carefully closed the door and left the house. Honestly, he had no idea how to stop the pirates. The people of the village called him mad.

As the sunset came everything was quiet and well. However, the slayer's plot to turn the village against mermaids was slowly playing out.

He smiled, and when Jack came to him, the smile wavered. "Yes?"

Behind closed doors, a woman said to her son, "I know that he is Philip. A good man of God, a missionary. But now, you mustn't speak to him. He speaks of evil. Mermaids."

[Question]

"'ut ma, you said he was a man of god." The boy protested.

Jack sat down, "I've heard....things."

[changa]

"Yes, darling. Was. He was a man of God, but since... do not speak to him."

"What sort of things?" Thorne asked.

[Question]

"Rumors of awful mermaids, these are truth, yes?"

The boy frowned, "But.."

[changa]

"Awful? All mermaids are awful, Jack."

"That's final!" the mother said, and walked away.

[Question]

"Not all. " Jack protested.

Ginny fell asleep, letting go of Syrena.

Syrena felt the hand leave hers, so she carried her daughter once again. "Perhaps we should stop and rest," Syrena said quietly, sitting down on a rock.
Aaron cuddled next to his mother.

"Oh? Name one, Sparrow!"

[Question]

Aquala laid Angelica next to Syrena and fought Aaron for the spot next to their mum. It was a primal like fight, Aquala bared her fangs at Aaron to move, because she wanted to cuddle next to Syrena. Under the sea, they were less human. It was a rather amusing sight to see the children fight over who could cuddle next to their mother.

Ginny weakly opened her eyes to listen, the fight was making Ginny nervous. Ginny weakly swam towards Angelica, laizly laying ontop of Angelica. (She had been too lazy to move over) Affectionately, Ginny laid her head on Angelica's chest. She could hear Angelica's relaxed heart beat.

"Syrena." Jack replied.
