"Of course Aria looks good laid out on my bed..." Auris sighed a bit and shrugged, frowning just slightly. "I can't get in her pants while Apollo is here. You know that. You know he has delusions that Aria will marry him. I asked her a loooong time ago, she won't marry me she sure as hell won't marry him. Probably. Maybe. I hope." He leaned forward slightly, resting his elbow on his knee and his chin in his palm. "You'd look good laid out on my bed too. It'll be fun, I promise!" He waggled his eyebrows at Medilio and then smiled slightly. "I'll never be satisfied at this rate." Auris sounded rather...down. Not exactly depressed, just a little unhappy.

"I'm sorry, Auris," Medilio apologized, walking over to Auris and patting his head. "Just realize this much: Aria cares about you more than anything. That much should count, even for you." The snowy-haired male rushed away before the shark could kidnap him and do something... irresponsible. "In any case, he's not marrying Aria," he growled slightly. He hated how Apollo was such a stubborn little brat. He can't get his dirty mitts on everything he wants! "She may be Aria Tsunami, but she's about a million times smarter than the little moron." Quickly, Medilio set aside the Prince's "special" dish, making a note that told Chenol to give it to Apollo and then dispose of the note. However, the merman felt slightly bad that Auris was unhappy. Sighing, he pinched the bridge of his nose and leaned against the counter near him. "I'll share a secret with you. Recently, some of the employee rooms have been renovated with soundproof walls. Mine was one of them. Apollo will never know if you did anything with Aria, so... I'm giving you the opportunity to steal my room away while the prince is here. But, you have to tell me when you're using it! I do not want to walk in on you two having fun!" Then, his mind settled on another one of Auris's comments. "Oh, and, you do know I'm straight, yes? I'm not doing anything with you that involves getting naked with you."

Shuddering minutely, she pulled away from the prince, murmuring about being back in a minute as she all but ran back into the kitchen. Sighing in relief, ruby eyes opened and she glomped the shark on her countertops, wrapping her legs around his wasit and arms around his neck. "Keep him away from me." She whined softly, nuzzling into Auris's neck. "I don't want him. You only." She murmured, holding tighter. She didn't want to let go, didn't plan to either.

Apollo frowned as Aria left, but said nothing. Grimacing he decided it better to sit and wait. He could have stormed the kitchen after her, but he would rather avoid the dirty shark. Blinking in surprise he noticed Aria's baby sister, and choose to sit across from her. It was a better prospect than the other options.

Auris seemed to brighten up a bit when Medilio pat his head, but the male had slipped away before he could get his arms around him. Slippery thing that Medilio was. Oh well. "She is brilliant, isn't she?" He practically purred the words and then shrugged, smiling at Medilio. "Come now, I wouldn't do something like that in your bed, unless you were in it to. It's just kinda..weird." He watched Medilio write out the note and shrugged slightly, waving his hand as if dismissing some of what the other male said. "Pfft. Have you even ever tried it with another male? Pleasure is pleasure, doesn't matter what gender gives it to you, it still feels good. I admit, some are better at it than others." He wriggled a bit. "I'd definitely make it worth your while. Besides, there's things that can be done without getting naked." He snickered lightly.

His snicker was cut short as Aria rushed into the kitchen and launched herself onto him. He blinked and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight and close."We wouldn't have that problem if you opened shop in a different city..but noo. you wanted to be in this city, of all places. You have only yourself to blame, my love." He spoke softly though and nuzzled her neck gently before capturing her lips with his. After a moment, he shifted slightly, pushing up with his hips for a moment before he was still. He kissed Aria's cheek softly. "You should come away to Pandoris with me. Rule at my side.." He murmered softly. True Auris flirted with everyone, would probably even sleep with everyone, but Aria was really the only one he really wanted.

"Keep your hands to yourself, mister," Medilio teased, waving a wooden spoon at the man. Then, the merman winced a bit. "Eh, I have never done it with another male, and if I do, it shall not be with you, my friend. Hopefully. I can't say for sure because you might take me away in my sleep." He shuddered somewhat at the thought of even trying. "Still not getting naked with you." When Aria ran into the kitchen and jumped on Auris, Medilio stared in disgust and then turned away. "Get a room! You're going to fill my kitchen with mushy love," he shooed them off with his hand, smiling slightly. "Just to let you know, Aria's room was also renovated, I believe. So go have fun. I'll be... serving the prince." He chuckled slightly, continuing to cook the rest of the appetizers and starting to cook Alice's chicken -- just a way to calm her for the rest of the night. She could take it out on the prince later.

She hummed softly in pleasure from the kiss, a whine escaping her throat as he stopped. "Too dark and cold for me there. Not enough variety." She said lightly in way of an explaination before looking at Medilio. Grinning mischieviously, she reached over and swatted him upside the head. "Wrong. My establishment, my kitchen. If I want to have any fun I can do it here. You're welcome to watch though." She giggled as she teased, not even caring one or another if they did do anything, or if the chef watched. Though she did have a sudden thought and slowly slipped down from Auris's lap. "I think we'd rather not in here. Exhibitionist or not. I'd rather not give Cordell the opportunity to see me nude. My room it is." She decided, nodding to herself slightly before she went to the back of the kitchen, opening it before turning to Auris with a grin. "Coming?"

When Aria came out and Apollo gave her a hug and kissed her cheeks, Alice let out a low growl. She hated the spoiled bratty Prince. She also knew that he fancied Aria and that Aria didn't. Everyone knew Auris fancied Aria and she back. It was time the Prince got over it and never came back. Completely annoyed Alice shattered the glass in her hand that she had been cleaning, by squeezing it to hard. Now completely pissed off her hair literally burst into flames. Harpy's and there tempers...anything could make them mad. Looking down at her bleeding hand the flames weaving through out her red hair got bigger. Letting out a snarl she grabbed a clean towel and wrapped her hand up. In a flash she was at the kitchen door and she threw it open. Grumbling to herself she stomped in and over to the sink. Throwing the bloody towel in the sink she turned on the water. The flames in her hair grew bigger for a second then became smaller again as she stuck her hand under the water. Alice let out another growl from the sting of it but kept it there.

Hearing Medilio call her name Chenol rushed back into the kitchen. "Yes my love?" She said with a smile. Chenol was the sweetheart of the group. She always had a smile on and loved teasing with everyone. "What plates are ready for me to take out?" When Aria came in and jumped on Auris she couldn't help but grin. She laughed when Medilio told both of them to get a room.

As the glass shattered Dash winced in her seat. She watched Alice stomp off before walking behind the bar. Bending down she began to pick up the pieces of glass. Once she got all the bigger pieces up she swept up all the little pieces. Then she wiped up any of Alice's blood. When she was finally done she went into the kitchen. Seeing Chenol she walked over to her and wrapped her arms around her waist. She looked over at Alice and watched her hair flame more before dying back down.

Standing, still holding onto the man for support, another man, with red hair surafced at the pool quickly turning from merman to human. Lilah blinked owl eyed at him for a moment, could she do that? When a young girl with dark hair and bright blue eyes popped her head out of the water and yelled to her, Lilah looked around as if to question if the girl was really speaking to her. She remembered her flashback, she must be Lilah! She began to smile at the opportunity to find out who she was, when suddenly the mermaid crashed onto the floor of the tavern. The man who she'd been holding onto for support rushed over to help her. Walking slowly, holding on to whatever she could, Lilah made her way to the two. Getting down onto her knees, level with the girl, she spoke finally, "Do you know who I am?" pausing for a moment, "I- I don't remember..." She waited eagerly for the mermaids response. This was it, she was going to learn who she was, hopefully the girl would know a lot about her, but everything couldn't be expected.

Medilio stared at Alice's grand entrance, and then at Chenol and Dash who came in afterwards. Sighing, he finished up the dish he was preparing and plated it. He walked up to Alice and patted her shoulder lightly -- thank God he was one of the people she didn't hate. "Alice, feel like having your favorite comfort food?" The merman slide the plate over to her, hoping that perhaps she would enjoy the meal and at least make it to the end of the night. He motioned to the fridge nonchalantly and continued, "I also bought some of the little things you love to munch on, so feel free to get hyped up." Smiling at Alice, he turned back towards Chenol, a tiny smirk on his face. "Chenol, dear, would you mind giving this plate to Apollo?" Swiftly, he took the note off of the plate and gave it to the little sweetheart. "Afterwards, you can come back and start giving out the appetizers to any table that is full of customers. I'll help you out, too, since no one has ordered anything." Medilio threw a clean dish rag over his shoulder and picked up four of the platters, two in each arm. "Let's get these out and get everyone started," he said, winking at Chenol. Then, he exited the kitchen and started to pass out the food, still snickering to himself about Apollo's plate.

((Was Mene down for any of you today? I haven't been able to get on for hours. It wouldn't even load:())

Eyes wide Alice spun around to look at Medilio. "You made my favorite food?" She asked with a hint of a smile. Once she got a whiff of the deliciousness the flames in her hair died out completely. "I think I just may love you," she said with a laugh and blew him a kiss. Jumping up on the counter she grabbed her plate and began to gobble it down. It was like heaven on a plate.

Looking down at Dash wrapped around her waist Chenol hugged her back a kissed the top of her head. Then she disentangled herself and gave the cheetah a little push. "Go on take some plates out to the tables for me." She gave her a smile before picking up Apollo's plate. "I don't even want to know what you did to this do I?" She called after Medilio with a laugh. Steeling herself Chenol walked out of the kitchen and over to Apollo and Aleesia. Setting the plate down in front of the Prince she smiled and gave him a bow with her head. "Aleesia would you like anything? Prince Apollo do you need anything else?" She asked them both softly.

Laughing when Chenol pushed her she nodded. "Ok I guess I can do that." She said and then went over and grabbed two of the appetizer plates. Holding them carefully she walked out of the kitchen and over to a couple. She sent to plates down with a smile then turned and went back to the kitchen.

((Sorry for not being on very often, but I've been getting ready for university.))

The young man blinked a little at this newest tidbit of information about the merfolk. A small smile grew upon Frost's face as she asked whether or not he was new at the Rabbit Hole. "Indeed I am. Who might you be?" Tobias kept a steadying hand upon the mermaid and turned his gaze to find Lilah. Relief and a small amount of guilt flooded trough him. The ice mage waited until Lilah was done her bout of questions before saying anything. "I apologize for leaving so suddenly Lilah." She needed help. It was hard forgetting everything, and having to rely other for information. Frost had gone trough the same thing.

Her eyes went wide at how rude the man had been to the two of them. Now this was something which angered even Stellara. Turning to Ruuya, the angel smiled a little mischievously. "Thank you for trying to help me. Now he's gotten on my nerves, you might not want to be around when I let fly. Why not introduce yourself to the rest of the staff? You'll be working with them after all." Pointing at the mermaid behind the counter with a smile, the angel called out. "Chenol, come meet Ruuya, she'll be working with us!" With that said she scampered off to the prince's side.

Smiling politely at Aleesia, the angel then turned to the merman with a politely angry look."Forgive me for intruding, but I really must know why you were so rude. It can't possibly be because I tried to help you. Now, if I find it's for a silly reason, prejudiced and without cause... Well then I might actually have to do something about it." She winked at Aleesia. It was obvious that she was Aria's sister. Perhaps her sister had told her about Stellara's git for music, and how she could affect people with it. Of course, it didn't always work and it depended on who.. And how Stellara was feeling.

((Pappy Alice is in the kitchen^^ Not behind the bar:lol:))

((She was talking about Chenol XD... but Chenol is also walking around with plates, from what I gather...))

Ruuya stared in utter shock at Stellara as she walked away. A-All right... Don't hurt him too much... Sighing, she walked towards the kitchen, seeing as though they've started to take plates out to the customers. Perhaps she could help somewhat. She wouldn't be able to sing in front of everyone again unless she practiced more and came up with some more songs. The new songs she'd have to compose on her own, somehow. Right before she reached the kitchen, Ruuya bumped into a white-haired male. "S-Sorry!" she apologized, bowing.

Medilio snickered at Chenol's comment and whispered to himself, "I didn't do much. He just won't be able to eat spicy food like that. And may choke. Hopefully." Hey, everyone was disgusted with that snotty little prince, so some butt kicking was in order. When he placed the last of his four plates, the merman started to walk back to the kitchen, until he slammed into some young girl. "Eh? It's no problem, don't apologize." He studied her for a moment, wondering if she was new. "So you're new?" "Yeah... Singer... The name's Ruuya Hanami." "Well, Miss Ruuya, my name is Medilio. Since you're not doing anything now, care to help pass out these appetizers?" Gently, he took her hand and led her into the kitchen, showing her which plates were supposed to be served. As she left the kitchen, Medilio took a little time to think about what would happen to him if Apollo really got pissed at him. He's either going to exile me, or just punch me really really hard. In the face. Groaning quietly, he picked up four more plates and continued to serve the customers.

The black haired mermaid smiled at the female and male. "Silly. You're the mermaid princess of Helice. And one of my friends." She told the pale girl, hands at her waist with a mild grin. She looked back to the male, her attention flipping between the two easily and quickly. "Heh. I'm Princess Melody Cordell. I live in the huge castle here. Who are you?" She asked with a giggle, though she flicked her tail back and forth in the water, splashing a little in her impatience at her brother.

Apollo frowned lightly when a plate of food was brought to him, he hadn't ordered anything, unless Aria had told the cook to make him something. That thought made him smile a little. Starting to dig in, he glanced disdainfully at the girl who came up to him and started asking questions. "Disgusting little Lander." He murmured, sneering before going back to his food.

Aleesia blushed lightly when the prince sat down, she'd had a crush on him a few years ago, but had grown out of it. Now she just didn't know how to act. When Chenol came by and dropped off a plate for the prince, she looked confused. She knew the prince wouldn't have ordered anything, and Aria did not like the stuck up prince, so she wouldn't have made him anything. When the older mermaid talked to her she just fidgeted a little. "Umm. A coke and some sushi please?" She asked. She didn't dare try her usual behavior. She'd quickly figured out it wouldn't fly.

Hearing Prince Apollo's comment, Chenol clamped her lips together tightly and held her tongue. Turning to Aleesia's she smile. "One coke and some sushi coming up love." Chenol glanced down at Apollo's food, watching him eat for a second before giving Aleesia a wink. Spinning around Chenol grabbed Stellara's arm and pulled her away. "Please come with me and be quiet. He doesn't like landers and we have to keep him somewhat happy.." Chenol mumbled everything under her breath.

Hopping down from the kitchen counter Alice set her plate in the sink and looked at her hand. It wasn't bleeding anymore and was healing up nicely. Grabbing Dashes arm she pulled the cheetah out of the kitchen. "Come kitten let's get back to the bar." As she was walking by Apollo's table she heard Aleesia ask for a coke. Letting go of Dash, Alice was behind the bar in a second, pouring a coke. Then in another second she was at Aleesia's table. "Here's your coke." She set it down and glared at the Prince. "I hope you choke on it," she growled then spun around and walked away. Behind her her wings flared out in anger before settling back against her back.

Laughing Dash followed after Alice. When she was let go she continued over to the bar. Once there she sat in a seat and grabbed her root beer. Smiling she handed it over to Alice when she was back behind the bar silently asking for a refill, which she got.

The young half-human was just about to launch into a small, but powerful, demonstration of her abilities. Though before such a thing could happen a fellow employee turned her around and away. Closing her eyes, the brunette took a deep breath. The wings upon Stellara's back fluttered in her agitation. "He's a rude brat, and needs to be taught a lesson. I don't care if he needs to be kept happy. Someone needs to teach him a lesson," her words were hissed at first but became louder and louder as the sentence went on. It was certain that the prince would have heard, despite the angel's small attempts for such a thing not to happen.

Stellar was usually shy and reserved with strangers... Unless they angered her. In those cases the other staff had to intervene, otherwise the offender might end up with serious hearing problems or a very steep emotional descent.

Wincing as Stellara's voice got louder and louder Chenol pushed the angel into the kitchen. "Stellara you can't do that! He's the Prince, if we make him mad who knows what he will do. I hate to get in the middle of things like this you know I do. But I can't let you make him mad. For Aria's sake we have to just ignore how stupid and rude he is, ok?" She looked at the half angel's face, pleading with her.

Still staring at Melody, Lilah echoed, "Princess of Helice...". She moved from her kneed position to her butt, feeling dizzy. "Melody, I don't remember any of that. Have you heard anything of Helice? I woke up on the beach this morning without my memory, maybe something awful has happened..." her voice trailing off. She reached up and rubbed her temple again, the pounding in her head she'd woken up with appeared to be returning with the overwhelming feeling brought on by the new information. So her name was Lilah, and she was a princess of a kingdom called Helice. At least she knew that much. But then her parents must be the King and Queen of Helice, surely they would be searching for her right? Of course they would, so it wouldn't be long now before she would be well on her way home and getting her memory back. Waiting for Melody's response she looked around the tavern which was growing ever louder and busier by the minute.

Auris had wriggled a bit beneath Aria for a few moments. Holding her tightly and giving her neck a gentle nibbling before he gently moved her off his lap so that she could stand infront of him. "As hard as it is to resist you..I'll have to decline. You need to stay out there and keep Apollo in line. Or rather, you need to stay out there and keep your employees from doing something that might make him very pissed." He was frowning just slightly. He really really didn't like saying 'no' to Aria when bedrooms were involved. "Ah..Actually.." Auris slipped off the counter top. "I think I'll see if I can annoy him." The shark straightened his pants a bit, readjusted his completely unbuttoned, button down shirt and sauntered his way out of the kitchen. Easily slipping past Chenol and Stellara with a wink as he exited the kitchen.

Of course, Auris wouldn't do anything first. For now he just sauntered over behind the bar and leaned on it casually. His eyes sweeping over the establishment before lingering on the prince a moment and wondering how the male was enjoying his spicy food.

Aria pouted slightly but she could understand. That didn't mean she couldn't plot for either that night or another. Moving away as he stepped out of the kitchen, she moved over to her counterspace that had all the sweets she planned on giving to Melody and a few for the Queen. "Medilio, next time, don't make food for Cordell. It gives him ideas, even if you are in the end making him sick." She told the merman, obviously letting him know she knew what he had done. There was very little she didn't when it occured in her place of business. Annoyingly though, once the spice kicked in on the prince, he would only see Auris and as such blame him for the 'transgression', whether her shark had done it or not. Well, Auris could be partially to blame anyway in this instance, but then so could any of her employees. She smiled softly as she packed a crystalline coral basket, the knowledge that her employees loved her enough to try to defend her like this was heartwarming. Which reminded her that a few now needed a bit of a pay raise. She could afford it since business had boomed, especially after the place had found out that the royal family loved her cooking and baking. She finished the basket, and finally in a bit of a good mood, walked out of the kitchen, pausing as she left to step closer to Auris and kissing his cheek. Smiling brightly to the shark, she avoided going near the prince and instead stepped over to Melody. "Hello Melody. How are you today?

Not that the prince had heard anything from the half-angel, he'd been in his own world, dreaming of Aria ruling by his side. She was smiling and playing with their children, all of them clothed in the finest of everything. Of course this place would be one away with. It wouldn't do for his wife to have to lift a finger to do anything. He barely blinked when Aleesia spoke to the serving girl, and her coke was brought her. He did however come out of his daydream to see Auris lean against the bartop and just look around. Apollo sneered at how vulgar the other looked. Really, it shouldn't have been that much of a surprise to Apollo, Auris was obviously not refined like he was, or like Aria deserved, and the shark was nothing but a savage. He made to stand, maybe even to tell the shark off and to leave his precious Aria alone, except she too stepped out, and confusingly kissed the shark's cheek and smiled so beautifully to him. Apollo blinked as he stood, plate half gone now, and he slowly made his way to the pool area where two others seemed to be talking to his sister. He stumbled suddenly, a wave of nausea roiling in his stomach, making him groan pitifully. What on earth? He couldn't understand how, he only had the intolerance to spicy foods, somehing which Aria knew. And she'd been the one to make his food, he was sure of it. Unless...The shark had more than likely tampered with his food! He glared as he made a sudden dash for the pool water, diving in and swimming away without his sister, half of the eight guards following him while the others stayed with Melody.

Melody frowned at what was said. "Well...The only thing I know or heard was that apparently your mom and dad were sick, and then that you had been missing. Right now the kings Advisor is managing the kingdom" Melody said softly, not sure what to say or how to help her friend now. She blinked owlishly when her brother suddenly splashed into the water, raising her arms up in a futile attempt to protect her face. Except nothing happened. Lowering her arms, she squeaked as she noticed the water that had been about to splash them was in a sudden web of ice. Had she done that? It was certainly pretty to look at, but she din't want Aria mad at her because of it. Turning when she heard the older woman behind her, she gasped and accidently lost her balance, the iced water unfreezing and falling into the water as she did. Coming back up to the surface, she blushed and murmured out apologies.

Medilio chuckled lightly and gave his sincerest apologies to Aria. "I'll take full responsibility for this if I see him again, even if he tries to kill me. Which I highly think he'll try. And if he tries to get to Auris, then I'll just have to take the blow for him, hm?" Shrugging, he finished passing out plates with the help of the new girl. No one was ordering anything, so Medilio could have a little break. "Ruuya, care to have a drink?" he asked the orange-haired girl, leading her to the bar. After quietly asking Alice for two light drinks, the merman turned back to Ruuya. "So. Where are you from, kid?"

Ruuya stared at Medilio for a while. Spiked his food? Huh, I wonder who Apollo is... When the merman took her to the bar, she stared at him once again. She didn't know what to answer -- her memories were pretty much gone. What country was she from? What did she like to do? Where was her family? None of these questions could possibly be answered. Fiddling with her hair, she bit her lip and looked up at Medilio, then at Alice. "I don't know," she replied, sighing deeply. The human crossed her arms and looked to the floor, as if that would make her remember something.

When the red haired merman jumped into the pool, Lilah didn't flinch, she was too deep in thought. When the ice fell into the water she snapped out of it. Still hardly believing the news she had learned Lilah took a deep breath. She wondered where Helice was and how on earth she'd get there. Seeming to be in deep thought her face suddenly brightened. I will simply transform into a mermaid and swim there, duh! Swinging her legs over the side of the pool smiling and anxious to be on her way, she slid in, the water taking in her legs, her waist, her chest, her head... and that's when it happened. The realization it must take more than just getting into the water to transform. She was sinking now as she kicked and reached for the surface to no avail. Her human legs still sore and akward, didn't help her towards the surface in the least. She couldn't walk, she couldn't swim and now she was pretty sure she was drowning. Maybe she wasn't really a mermaid at all. Maybe this was all some big joke, or a dream. Yes, this was a dream. She was on her back looking up towards the light of the tavern through the hole of the pool that was now getting smaller as she slowly sank towards the ocean floor, her white dress and pale hair floating up around her. It was quiet, the light beaming down over her as if to help slowly lay her down onto the sandy bottom. Looking towards the tavern everything became a blur, Yes, a dream.

Auris had practically purred when Aria stepped out of the kitchen and kissed his cheek. Her bright smile was returned with a geniune smile of his own. Of course, he did watch the prince out of the corner of his eye. An almost predatory gleam in those eyes of his. He followed Apollo's movements with his eyes, almost snickering when the prince made a dash into the water. Apparently Medilio's spicy food was making its presance known. Chuckling a bit, Auris stepped away from the bar, a few steps behind Aria as he moved towards the pool. As he neared, he saw Lilah slip into the pool, his brow furrowed slightly. As far as he knew, she didn't know how to transform. Or that she could, just from their earlier conversations.

The shark didn't hesitate, he slipped past Aria gently if a slight bit clumsily. Human legs were no good when one was in a hurry. His shirt he let fall from his shoulders, landing in a heap just behind him. Already his hands were undoing his pants, and then he dove. Leaving his pants in a heap just at the edge of the pool. His legs had begun to change moments before he ever touched the water. Melding together to form sleek, shiny grey tail with black stripes. His fins looked sharp, but they were made that way for fast swimming. His tail was long, which was why his human legs were so long. He entered the water and with a powerful thrust of his tail he propelled himself quickly towards Lilah. Arms reaching to grab the girl, and grab her he did. As soon as he had her, a quick flick of his tail and he had turned. A powerful push and he was headed to the pool's surface with her in his arms.

He was a quick one. His entire body seemed to be built for speed, though he was lean muscled and good in a fight as well. His head broke the surface and seconds later he had lifted Lilah up some so her head was also above the water. Moments later, he lifted Lilah up more to lay her on the edge of the pool, if a bit awkardly. "Aria!" His eyes were filled with concern, his tone one of urgency.

Aria had giggled lightly at Melody's reaction, had even been about to console her about the accident of turning the splashed water to ice, but Lilah was moving down the side of the pool and as far as the ruby eyed female knew, the other didn't even know how to change. She herself had been about to remove her own clothing, but Auris beat her to it. Predator he may have been, but the shark prince certainly had a soft side if he was saving others. Setting the basket thing to the side, she kneeled just as Auris was awkwardly setting Lilah up on the edge of the pool. Mumbling curses as she helped lay the girl flat, she didn't bother to check for a pulse, she hadn't been under long enough to induce death. But the liqiud in her lungs would kill her if they weren't brought out.

Ruby eyes closed as she brought a blue glowing hand up to hover over the girl's chest. Moving her hand to resemble the motion of the waves as they reached the beach, a gentle rocking back and forth, before pulling up as her hand now floated over the girl's mouth, the water in the others lungs withdrawing. Sighing, Aria leaned back to consider what to do now with the just unconscious girl. "Thank you Auris." She commented, moving her upper half so she was close to the shark, softly kissing him.

Aleesia sighed as she nibbled on the sushi in front of her, thankfully the prince had left. She had heard his thoughts, not that she wanted to really, he just broadcasted them so loudly. Turning when she heard the shark shout for her sister, she stood and ran over. Gasping as she saw the white haired girl get pulled from the water, unconscious, she hung to the back in case her sister did need her. Of the two, Aria was possibly on par with their father's water magic, if not better, but Leesia was the better healer. Once the water had been removed from the girls lungs, Aleesia breathed a sigh of relief and picked up a large fluffy towel. She struggled a little to pull the girl away from the suddenly kissing pair, but she managed and wrapped the towel around the girl, rubbing it against the girls skin in and effort to warm her up.

Melody had started to smile when Lilah slipped into the water, wanting to play with her friend. Only she hadn't shifted, and that confused her. Lilah was just falling to the bottom floor, and she didn't know why. Then the shark had changed and jumped into water, dragging Lilah out where Aria seemed to pull water out of the others throat. Moving around the shark as Aria leaned forward to kiss him, she stayed near Lilah barely glancing at the red head who was attempting to dry her off.

As Lilah's body was floating motionlessly towards the ocean floor everything became a blur. She saw a large shadow over her and then she was being lifted towards the light. This must be death she thought before she slipped into unconsciousness.

She coughed up a little bit of salty ocean water before taking a deep breath. Opening her eyes and blinking to focus she looked up to see a red haired female and Melody looking worried. Close by were Aria and Auris. She sat up, water dripping from her clothes and hair where Aleesia hadn't dried. Looking frankly bewlindered she spoke, "I don't have a tail..." she said looking down towards her feet as she wiggled her toes. "What happened?" she asked the crowd, remembering getting into the pool, but nothing in between then and now.
