"What are you doing here? Can you really not stay away from ships?" Kayla asked. The tiny dragon she had poked his head out of her bag to see what was going on. She gently pushed it back before anyone could see.

"No, they captured me on that night when you came here" he says with a sigh, sinking back into the water and blowing bubbles to the surface with his arms crossed.

”You've been here that long?” Kayla asked with surprise. Most creatures like him that came to the black market were sold withen a day or two.
The peddler that had been keeping Orion was starting to get annoyed with Kayla. ”Look! If you're not interested then you need to scram!” He growled at her.

"Yeah i would listen to the dude if i we're you" he says with a soft muffled voice from below the waters surface, still blowing bubbles. Half of him hoped that she would buy him.

Kayla huffed. "Can't you see I am interested? Why else would I be taking to it?" She snipped. It seemed that she changed her entire personality.
The peddler frowned and nodded. "Alright. But make your choice quick.

A little smile slipped onto.his face as he slid back up, leaning over the edge and looking at her. "Watch out. I'm expensive" he winked at her.

"I know that already." Kayla muttered, rubbing her thumb across a large scar on her arm.
She turned to the man. "How much is he?" She asked. Hopefully if she persuaded him she could get the price down.
"50 platinum peices." He said. He knew that Orion was no where near that price but this girl seemed easy enough to mess with.

"Scuse me?" Orion shot a piercing glare at him. "Go lower will ya!?"

The man glared at Orion. "Shut it!" He snapped.
Kayla scoffed. "50 platinum? For a siren with this many scars? Hell no! No wonder he's been here so long if your selling him at that price." She growled at him.

"Okay you know what, im worth way more than that. So screw you" He says flipping them off.
"And that's insulting" He mumbled to himself slipping back into the water blowing bubbles to occupy himself.
He was actually really insecure about his scars, but he didn't let it show.

Kayla flashed him a look that had "sorry" written all over her face. She didn't want to pick on him but if there was physical damage to something, it could be sold for less.
The man scouled. "Fine. 40 platinum peices." He huffed.

Orion rolled his eyes underwater and went back to counting every bubble he blew. He wouldn't be surprised if she didn't buy him.

Kayla crossed her arms. "30 and it's a deal."
The man thought on it for a bit before looking at Orion. "Deal." He said firmly. "But you have to pay it right now."

"Pay up missy," he says with a smile, though realizing that he shouldn't push his luck.

Kayla gave him a look but it was playful more than anything. She pulled 30 platinum pieces out of her bag and dropped them in the peddlers hand. "30 platinum pieces. Can I take him?" Kayla asked.

"Oh wait, how are you gonna take me? A net? Wheels? I swear if i have to be in this tank for any longer than i have to, I'm gonna go crazy" he says popping out of the water.

The peddler looked over all the coins before huffing. "He's yours. Take the tank cause unless you have one at home you need somewhere to keep him." He informed. "Did you get a ride here?"

He watched the two interact. Goodness, he hasn't seen another siren in so long. He had met one a long time ago that was like him. Sweet like honey with a smile to light up anyone's day.
He missed that.

Kayla shook her head. "Ill get a friends to bring a cart for me." She said.

(Do you want to skip to later because this part is really awkward.)

"Well since Orions the being sold and all and Kaylas buying him and taking him somewhere, i think you probably should)

($h!t! I forgot about this.)

Kayla had gotten a wagon to the ocean. They were on a small cliff. People often came here in the summer time to swim but definitely not this close to winter and not with the storm rolling in. ”Here we go.” She said as she hopped of the wagon to start to try to help Orion back to the ocean.

(whats funny is i thought you replied, but i thought i accidentally unfollowed this. So ive been trying to look for this for like…. ever XD So youre fine. I do that alot too)

He looked at her with his arms crossed. An unamused look on his face. "you think im gonna jump off? Think again."
He says looking back to the cliff. Man he hated it. Looking down at it. What if he fell in and a shark immediately chopped his head off!?

"Why not? I do it all the time." She asked, putting her hands on her hips.
