[PRP] Naiad Ninja (Chromis and Hjortur)

[EvilSilverDragon]

Normal day in the life the epic ninja, Chromis. Even before he opened his eyes he was already planning on the adventure for the day. Or night, some time of awake. Golden eyes gleamed out of his little undersea cave. The area was just big enough for his adult body to wiggle into with not much room elsewise. Located near the palace, he liked his view of the other Naiad.

Like everyday he tries to wave to someone as they swim past but no attempt at eventful chatter caught their attention. Momentairly, he frowned. The moment passed quickly and he took off in a radom direction off on a ninja mission.

Today's mission involved sea sponges that he had found one day. Fun as they were, they gave him an idea. The idea was fit for the ninja master himself!

Gleefully he swam off hunting the first part in a complex plan, two steps!

Hjortur was rubbing his head as he exited the palace, or perhaps escorted or was politely thrown out of would be more proper terms. He'd finished his check-in with his father, mostly a scolding and an attempt to have the boy return to the guards, before being told to leave once again. It was a wonder that they hadn't had the heart to cut him off altogether at this point, but there was something that kept him tied to his parents. And their privileges.

Yawning, he looked up at the surface above as he continued swimming. Well, that was his painful, responsible task for the day. Naturally, this meant that the rest of it was open for more meaningful tasks: dancing, singing, eating.

The usual.

It'd been a number of months since he'd seen his goddess last. Ah... How could he ever forget that simply divine night they'd spend together after Venus' party. It had been exquisite, the thing of dreams. Yet, none knew of it. His parents would certainly scold him further if they knew of his relations with the land pae'll.

Sea spong in hand, he set off to find something, anything to test his new weapon on. Searching, searching, searching..There! He spotted another naiad! Imagine that.

Smiling he apprached the male from behind, utterly silently.

Laughing without a sound he took up the sponge and pulled his arm back. Just when he thought he had it right he let the item fly through the water. Which is to say it slowed down and started to fall. At least he put that into the equation aiming above the unsuspecting Naiad.

Would it hit him? He had no idea, but that was why he had extras. That was part of the fun, seeing if the light sea life was able to impact, and if the other would notice.

As Hjortur walked, a ball of light began to play around his tail fin. He wasn't sure just when his mellon had introduced herself to him, nor when she had decided that his life might be worth interjecting herself into. Honestly, he didn't really mind her presence at all; she was rather fun to have around. "Oi, Terpsichore... Do you suppose my parents will ever come around?"

Almost jingling, the ball circled around his body until she was beside his ear. "Do you ever plan on becoming a guard~?"

"No... Never." The naiad's answer was almost an instinctive reflex by now.

"Then I doubt they'll ever care for for you than a sea slug~!" the ball giggled and floated away, fading as it did so.

Sighing, Hjortur turned around with a look of exasperation. "Come, now, why must you always be such a..." his voice trailed off as something just above him came into view, quickly sinking towards his face. "...a sea sponge?!" which then hit him prominently between the eyes. He'd been so distracted talking that he had been completely unaware of the danger behind him.

Watching with barely contained excitement, Chromis saw the sponge fall before landing right on the mark! Cheering with all his might, he spun several times and pumped his arms in a victory dance. Throwing his arms he pumped them forward moved them both to the left, pulling them in before shooting them out to the right moving back to the start point to begin the dance again. Exaggerated tail shaking might have also occurred.

Laughing visibly, not a thing he did made any sound but that had long since bothered him at all. Instead he thoroughly enjoyed the small victory. This Naiad, he decided, would be his friend for the day.

That meant of course, he'd need some new mischief as he had tossed the only piece of sponge he collected.

Hjortur's figure stood still as the sponge slowly slid down his face before continuing to the floor. He blinked twice as he processed what had just happened before cracking a smile. Oh... Man he had been got good! The smile turned into a grin, and that a laugh, before he sighed and shrugged.

Time to continue on with his day.

He'd figured it was probably some kid that had pulled the prank, and so he didn't bother trying to look for him. It wasn't like he was mad or hurt by the stunt, after all, and it wasn't as if this sort of thing was terribly uncommon towards him. He was the ridiculed town mooch after all. They would enjoy his festive talents in the moment, but at the end of the day, that's not what they would remember him for. It was the bad, not the good.

Pausing his dance, the naiad smiled as he heard a laugh! This one wasn't mad at him and laughed even! Oh oh oh! Rubbing his hands together, Chromis smiled. That just meant he had to do something else!

What was the question! Bringing his tail up, he braced his elbow on the fin as he pondered what he could do next. As his eyes dashed around, they landed on a fish swimming by and an idea formed.

A school of them swimming towards the unsuspecting naiad could be funny! Only, it was too big of a jump. Putting the idea aside for now, he continued to look around. Thats when he saw the lake kelp. Hitting one hand with the fist of the other, the idea light bulb went on. Shooting downward he went straight into a bed of underwater plants.

Gathering up as much as he could, he made a 'hat'. The dubious hat looked as much like a bunch of streamers tied around a sand dollar but he was proud of it.

Letting his creations go, he went into the plants himself spinning to gather plants like a fork spins to gather spaghetti. This was stealthy and ninja like after all.

Taking his prize back, he swam up until he was well above the Naiad who had unwittingly became a friend and playmate for the moment. Once he was pretty sure he had it right, he dropped the fashion accessory and watched it flutter and drop.

This time, rather than continue on his merry little way as Chromis might have suspected, something in the seaweed bush caught his eye. Stopping, he moved over to inspect it and found himself a cute little freshwater crab hiding between the leaves. It was so little and pink, probably a baby. As he turned his head, he caught sight of something else coming from the sky: a bushel of seaweed. Rather than laugh this time, however, his smile turned sour and his eyes scanned around for a pair of little brats hanging around.

One prank was fine. One he could handle. Multiple ones, however, was no longer just child's play. It was deliberate mocking and a stab at his own personal pride which, surprisingly enough, he had a reasonable amount of.

Floating soundly above, Chromis doubled over with laughter. Feeling oh so clever, the oblivious Naiad searched his brain for the next prank. The gratification from his acts being noticed just could not be passed up.

As of yet HE wasn't noticed, and that brought a frown to his face. Not much to do about that, clearly he needed something bigger. Herding fish would be fun, but hardly ever worked so that was out.

The tapping prank was an old favorite, it tended to get reactions. Turning he took off never giving it any thought as to if he would be spotted, that wasn't even in the realm of possible.

Instead, he went about his game scavenging a long enough piece of coral a short distance away. Not long enough for his liking but it would work if he could find hiding places.

Hjortur had had enough of these little pranks which, he assumed, some children were playing on him. Maybe he didn't notice Chromis because his bias had him searching for tiny little bodies darting away. Oh, if he caught them...!

"Come, you mussn't get so angered by children. They are just children after all." the mellon softly said as it tried to calm him. "Remember... Light, fun, merriment. That is what you wish to experience and what you want to spread. If you fall for their provocation, you really will become disliked among the others."

Exhaling deeply, the naiad shook his head, rolled his shoulders, breathed in once more and sighed. She was right (as usual). "Thank you for talking sense into me; I could have gravely embarrassed myself."

Laughing, the mellon replied, "It is one of my duties I suppose. I wish for the same things you do, after all."

That's right, no use in getting angered at one who didn't know to do anything better than what they did. Surely, with time, they would outgrow their mischievous activities. By then though, of course, there would be others, but they too would once day grow up and see the childishness of their actions. Now calmed and his mood returned to normal, he turned to continue on his way.

And he was back at it. Swimming behind he current target, the great ninja waited for just the right moment. One appeared with a rocky formation to the right.

Cheering his great mind, he silently sailed through the water. Close enough to poke at the other Naiad, he used his little tool to try and get the right elbow. Rather then be sure the act was noticed, he went with the assumption it was and darted behind the rock leaving no sound, just a few bubbled created by the movement.

Again he was in stitches laughing heartily if soundlessly.

One could practically feel the change in current as he came to a stop and his eye twitched from the additional poke. He liked to think he was reasonably patient, especially with kids. He liked to think that he could handle quite a bit before that patience was worn thin. He liked to think that there was little that would push him to the point of true irritation.

Though he was mostly right, he had clearly passed that point.

Glaring to his side, he caught site of a retreating coral and some bubbles. Bingo. Darting above and around the coral, he finally found the one responsible. "Oi." he called out as he moved to sandwich the other naiad between himself and the coral. "What do you suppose you are doing?"

EvilSilverDragon

 

[EvilSilverDragon]

Being trapped between the coral and his newest friend was an awesome opportunity, With a huge smile Chromis began to explain exactly what he was doing. For two minutes without any chance to being stopped, the overly excited Naiad began to tell the other all about the game.


While his mouth opened and closed at a hyper rate, not a sound came out. In his tail, he brought his arms together and pointed to them to the left, making some sort of point then they went to the right as he illustrated his story. He followed that by pointing at Hjortur. Following he pointed up, then made a swimming motion with his hands followed by a full body shaking silent laughter.

Seemingly taking a breath, he looked around as he was searching for something.Rocking his head side to side, he mulled over a word choice then went on talking. When he finally stopped, he told his name and tried to get Hjortur to do the same as he looked on expectantly.

[Daisicle]

That... was not the reaction Hjortur had been expecting. Just as he'd not been expecting to encounter a mute who, apparently, was not aware of this fact. Rather than 'interrupt' this 'explanation,' as that would have been rude, he just sort of floated there feeling rather awkward about everything.

Maybe he shouldn't have approached him, though he doubted that this other guy would have stopped otherwise.

Noting the pause in talking, he opened his mouth to comment before closing it again as the 'speech' continued. What a day this was turning out to be... Oh well, there were worse things that could happen, and at least this all appeared to have been done under good fun. This time, he waited a much longer time at the pause before deducing that the male was, indeed, finished with whatever it was that he was saying. Glancing to either side then back again, he internally shrugged before holding out his hand. "I am called Hjortur." he introduced himself. Now, he wasn't exactly sure if that was something appropriate to say at this time (actually, what would be appropriate to say if you didn't know how the conversation was going), but maybe it would work?

[EvilSilverDragon]

Chormis seemed to hold his breath as he waited for the other to respond. When he did, the naiad clapped his hands together and seemed to dance in place with a huge smile on his face. Throwing his hand out he grasped Hjotur's hand and proceeded to shake it vigorously with much enthusiasm. Most Naiad just swam away from him, this was the first to talk back!

He told Hjotur how happy he was to meet him. Following that he took the free hand and pointed his thumb to his own chest. Never miss an opportunity for self promotion, that was Chormis' philosophy.
