Arria nodded and pushed himself up onto the rocks, flipping some hair out of his face once he was up. He grabbed the bag he brought and gave one to Carter, “Here.” He ran a hand through his hair lazily.

Carter smiled a little, gulping up the potion. His legs molded back together, and he laughed a little once the heat disappeared from his face. “I should probably carry around a potion with me, shouldn’t I?” He mused, glancing down at his tail.

Arria smiled a little and nodded, “That would probably be best. Saves you nearly drowning each time it fades.” He shrugged a shoulder with a small sigh.

“Yeah, it would,” Carter laughed quietly, “I would need a belt or chest strap to carry it or something, probably. Is there like, a merpeople clothing store?” He laughed at the thought, leaning back on a rock.

“Yeah, for accessories and stuff for parties and so on. I’m sure there will be something like that for you.” Arria replied, cracking a smile.

Carter smiled, taking Arria’s hand, “Well then I want to go shopping~” He tugged Arria towards the cave exit excitedly, grinning at this point.

Arria rolled his eyes, “You’re like a little kid, I’m coming I’m coming. We have to drop by my home though first.” He said, laughing.

Carter pecked Arria on the cheek, “So… is there merpeople currency?” He asked, chewing his lip slightly. I wonder is Arria has a job… I wonder if I need to get a job…

“Yes, that’s what we’re going to get stupid.” Arrow giggled a little and picked up the pace of the swimming with a content sigh.

“What is it though? Gold? Silver? Shells?” Carter laughed a little, picking up his own pace to keep up with Arria. I definitely don’t want Arria to pay for my expenses…

“You’ll see.” Arria giggled a little and hummed quietly as they swam closer to his house.

Carter playfully narrowed his eyes, whining, “Tell me~” He blew bubbles at Arria’s face, making a pouting face.

Arria just giggled a little more, “Nope, you have to wait.” He smiled innocently at Carter.

Carter tipped his head back with a laugh, bumping his shoulder into Arria’s playfully as they swam up to his house. Carter tugged the door open for Arria with a gentleman’s grin.

Arria laughed, "Why thank-you." He hummed quietly as he swam into the house, heading right for the back room. He winced at the mess of everything in his room, books and potions littered everywhere, papers and other random objects. Shaking his head he headed for a drawer in the back.

Carter swam, smiling knowing at the messy room. Arria looks so cute… He swam to look over his sea boy’s shoulder, wondering what the currency could possibly be. He tilted his head, his eyes watching with the eagerness of a child.

Arria pulled out a small leather bag out of the top drawer. He grinned and pulled out a small coin. The coin was silver, with teal and light purple patters everywhere, resembling seaweed. In the center, a small trident. He handed it to Carter to look at.

Carter’s mouth parted slightly in awe, his fingers tracing over the designs. “It’s so pretty… It even has the trident…” It was just like a human coin, except cooler and more fancy. “Wow…” He mumbled, still admiring it.

Arria rolled his eyes with a smile and snatched the coin back, “Come on then, let’s go get you a bag or something.” He placed the coin back in the bag with a grin before swimming out of his mess of a room.

Carter grinned too, interweaving his hand with Arria’s and swimming out excitedly. “This is gonna be fun.” Unless we see Yuri… Carter smiled brightly anyways, trying to ignore his negative thoughts about Yuri for now.

Arria rolled his eyes again but smiled, “Maybe for you it will be.” He let out a content sigh and swam with Carter towards the shinging lights of the city. It was only then when Arria remembers something and gasped, “I totally forgot about the festival preparations! Everything’s going to be so busy…”

“Festival?” Carter’s voice went up a notch, his interest piqued. He looked at the glowing city, his eyes searching, “Why is there a festival? Some kind of holiday?” He asked, tilting his head to the side.

“Queen’s birthday. There’s a parade then a huge party at the castle. Anyone and everyone is invited to go. Most people do, but there are decorations that go up in the streets and parties in the city too.” Arria explained with a shrug if his shoulders.

“Really? Is it like a ball?” Carter asked, raising an eyebrow. Dancing with Arria would be so fun… He smiled, looking at the city again. Going through the city tonight with Arria would be very romantic…

Arria shrugged again, “Eh, kinda. The first part is all formal then it gets crazy. The Queen disappears after a while and lets us have all the fun.”
