canon is The Thirteenth Year

[syreni]

You know, I appreciate your taking interest in me, but if you're going to bring me to the surface, I'd at least like to see my family? Sam? Jess? You know, instead of this... whatever here is.

You know I just realized how much I missed out on. Learning to drive. Seeing rated R movies. And there's a black president now? I could've voted for him!

[onejoyfultear]

[Syrena is just going to swim up, watching him curiously.]

I know right?

[syreni]

[OH GOOD A fellow merperson! Cody waves.]

Hey!

Having a nostalgia blast now

[onejoyfultear]

[Syrena does not wave, but nods.]

Hello.

You are speaking of...human things.

I know, it hit me yesterday then today this happened :P

[syreni]

Yeah, I am. Is that too weird? I kind of grew up out there.

An excellent life choice, I think

[onejoyfultear]

You were raised on the surface?

[syreni]

Yeah, 'til I was thirteen. I didn't even know what I was until then.

[onejoyfultear]

But how? Did you never touch water?

[syreni]

No, I was in the water all the time! State champion swim team and everything. It just never did anything until I turned thirteen.

[onejoyfultear]

Were you cursed in some manner...?

[syreni]

I don't think so? Just left on a boat when I was a baby.

[fintabulous]

Wait... you've been in the human world? No joke?

[syreni]

Yeah, no joke. I grew up out there.

[fintabulous]

Ohmygosh! That must have been so exciting! What is it like up there?

[syreni]

It's pretty cool, I guess. Not as neat and exciting as life down here, but I guess it's what you're used to.

[fintabulous]

I guess other worlds are always thrilling for others, huh.

[syreni]

Guess so.

I'm Cody, by the way.

[fintabulous]

Cody? What a cute name! I'm Kayla, it's fintastic it meet you!

[syreni]

[Fin...tastic? Okay.] It shore is.

[fintabulous]

[ She can't help but laugh a little. He gets it. ]

I have to ask you something though.
