Ari'yal beamed with pride when Slayt mentioned her collection, and nodded eagerly. "I'm going back out to the shore again tomorrow," she said happily. Her large eyes moved back to Yokai when he spoke, a smile tugging at the edges of her lips. "I enjoy the human world because it's so . . . different and exciting! Can you imagine what they use this for?" Picking up a fork, she ran it through her hair. "I wish I knew."
Following Slayt with her gaze, the young woman narrowed her eyes. "Have you two officially met each other, or am I just assuming as much?" She reached forward to pat the tiny colorful fish that flit about her hair. "And this is my pet. I haven't named him yet, but he's a good little boy." The small scaled creature seemed to let out a small "coo" of happiness, burrowing into her red mane.
