"Maybe I will, theres just so much of the world I haven't seen yet. I'm not too great at staying in one place I guess." He laughed lightly. "What about you? Have you ever thought about travelling the ocean?"
"Maybe I will, theres just so much of the world I haven't seen yet. I'm not too great at staying in one place I guess." He laughed lightly. "What about you? Have you ever thought about travelling the ocean?"
She nodded and smiled lightly, "Too many times to count, but it's too dangerous." Her smile faded for a moment before appearing again, "But hey, if I was traveling I couldn't of saved you."
Keiran laughed lightly "I suppose your right about that."
"So, it balanced out slightly. You've traveled places and remember them." She shrugged, "i'll just have to learn what the world is like without leaving the city."

Keiran smiled "I guess it works out then. What are other merpeople like? Do you speak English underwater too or a different language."
(Ok! Thanks!)
Nautia smiled back at him happily "Most of us speak English, though it varies greatly from region to region, and we do have a universal language as well."
"Oh cool, does it feel weird talking above water versus below water?" He asked curiously looking over at her.
"A little, my voice sounds quite different up here than below water." She touched her throat and shrugged, "The easiest language to speak underwater is Mer language, our universal language, but speaking English works almost as well."
"Yeah I guess that makes sense."
"What about you? do other people with wings speak English? What's it like?" She asked, curious and eager to find out the answer.
"We do have a language that we are taught but we only really spoke it to some of our parents and grandparents. Most of the other kids in my generation just chose to speak English to eachother." He answered "I don't know how it is in other tribes though."
Nautia nodded before asking another question, "Is it difficult to talk to others when you fly?"
"Its not difficult to talk when flying unless ee are really high or sometimes theres a lot of wind that's difficult to hear over."
"So it's just like talking when you're this close to the ground?" She felt like it was common sense, but she was curious, and she had never been up into the air any higher than she could jump or climb on the island.
"Yeah pretty much." He answered, not minding her curiosity.
She smiled and rolled onto her side, facing him and letting her tail flick through the water, "Do people like you have any games they play or anything?"
Keiran smiled and answered, eyes darting to the sky as he though. "Yeah me and the other kids from the village played all kinds of games when we were younger. Hide and seek, airball, cloud hunters, fall troll call, umm oh we would play chicken sometimes although the parents hated it because it was pretty dangerous." He chuckled lightly at the memory of being scolded if they were caught playing it.
"What's chicken? The name doesn't sound dangerous," She asked, her smile growing when she saw he was reliving memories.
"Well we would fly as high as we could and then drop, so we would just kind of free fall towards the ground and the last one to give up and start flying again lost." He explained
Her eyes widened, "What happened if no one gave up and you got too close to the ground to fly up?'
"We didn't think that far ahead." He awkwardly laughed "nothing bad ever happened luckily, we would sometimes do it above the pond just in case but I can see now why the adults didn't want us playing that."
"The adults were smart," She replied, smiling, "Sadly we didn't have any games that were as dangerous as that, even shark swimming was safe."
"Yeah, we were kind of dumb kids but there wasn't much to do in the village so we had to get creative." He answered "Shark swimming? What's that?"
She thought for a minute of how to explain it, "When we were little, we used to grab onto a great white shark's dorsal fin and let them whip us around. if we were flung off we lost the game."
He laughed "From what I've heard about sharks that sounds dangerous."
