Something was moving in the Palace. Not a sound was made but behind the pillars and furniture, something was certainly moving. The great and mighty Ninja Naiad had decided to infiltrate the palace. His plan was still a work in progress, but the progress was clear.
From one wall he made mad dash to an alcove and glued himself to the wall there looking around with exaggerated eye movements glancing left then right. As he edged along.
The idea came to him to find the throne for surely there was a throne. Maybe find it and sit on it? Oh what fun that would! Giddy with excitement, he didn't let a little thing like not knowing where it was stop him from the devious plotting.Seiana_ZI Forgive some of it, in writing by Chromis' perspective, he is going to think he is much, much more awesome then he is 3nodding

 With Tariel and Turin off being ...
Aeroniel shuddered. Why did she let herself think about these -- atrocities?! Well, not atrocities necessarily. At least Tariel wasn't with Sadron. She wasn't sure if shacking up with the Captain of the Guard was much better, though. And where did it leave her? Now she was most definitely more of a third wheel than before, considering that she didn't have any fancy past lives--which she was still convinced was a whole bunch of crazy faun voodoo--to ensure she was part of the Court and Tariel had been acting weird herself that entire time since that weird faun meeting --
Stop, Aeroniel. Stop.
The second-in-command gave a soft little sigh to herself, reaching up to rub her temples and ease the tension headache she was giving herself. It was what it was, right? It was what it was. Being isolated was not exactly something she wasn't used to, right?
-- Wait. What was that?
Aeroniel thought she heard something, and so, she closed her eyes and focused, attempting to reach out and find the thoughts that she was looking for. Was someone -- was someone seriously trying to infiltrate the throne room?
The second-in-command groaned.
At least it was different, she supposed. Shrugging hopelessly, Aeroniel swam off in the direction of the attempted infiltrator.EvilSilverDragon XD That's totally fine, no need to apologize for his perspective! (I do apologize for the multiquote though, I had to fix some typos)

Laying low to the ground, super ninja played eel tactics. Arms tucked in close to his body, Chromis wiggled down a hall. With no given warning or reason, he tossed himself to the other side of the hall and kept on going. No one could stop the invisible ninja Chromis. Especially when his tactics are so amazing.
Imagining dramatic music to accompany another barrel roll to the other side of the hall, he continued his covert mission. This was the right way to the throne room right? Pondering the chance he might be wrong for only a moment, he rejected the idea. If it wasn't than what ever was just within reach would be where he was meaning to go. After all, he was infallible. Seiana_ZI ^-^ I worry a little. It is SO him, thinks he is he greatest thing to ever exist heart

Was he ...
Aeroniel could barely believe what she was hearing. He was ... an invisible ninja. What in the great ocean was he going on about? She couldn't just let him go through the Castle wherever he pleased, of course, so she needed to stop him, but she had a feeling he would get all of nowhere with those almost childish wishes of being so awesome.
She swam to where she sensed him, deciding to keep herself observing him for now. She'd stop him in a minute ... maybe giving him a good scare.
Aeroniel let a small smirk form on her face. Busting the ego of some ridiculous male could be fun.EvilSilverDragon Pfft. XD Aeroniel is like "Good grief..."

A door way! The trek was over and Chromis congratulated himself early. No one had spotted him but that was a given. The world's best ninja naiad was just that good. He had to pause however, this sort of awesome success deserved a special mission.
Just what was his mission? Hmm. Taking the throne becoming king sounded awesome. King Chromis! Grinning wildly he liked the mental image, complete with ninja mask and a crown upon the throne. The Queen wouldn't mind, right? He quickly assumed she wouldn't, he'd give it back when it got boring after all. The untamed Chromis could not sit on the the throne forever. Who ever sat there was the royal until someone else sat down, after all.
Maybe place something there? A nest of seaweed was the preferred prank. The Queen would see how awesome he was if he pulled a prank on her! Cackling with much glee he started to work on the prank aspect as he shot suddenly forward eager to reach the throne to begin preparations.Seiana_ZI Just wait until he figures out she can hear him! rofl Say bye bye to peace and quite Aeroniel!

King ... Chromis?
What did he think they were, those ridiculous faun? Well, they had a Chief, but same thing. The naiad were ruled by mighty queens -- or, well, Queen Tariel in any case. Not that her Queen was not strong, but she wouldn't exactly call her a mighty one, especially when she threw away all sense of boundary and started having relations with the guard captain. She could have picked nearly anyone else and she picked Turin!
... Stop, Aeroniel. Stop. How her friend conducted her private life was none of Aeroniel's business.
Except everything was Aeroniel's business.
Even when she didn't want it to be--
The distracted second-in-command rubbed her temples and attempted to focus on the ridiculous distraction once again. While she honestly doubted Tariel would mind letting this Chromis sit on her throne for a couple minutes, she knew he would certainly mind whatever that "prank" was. No one was going to prank their Queen. Pranks could be harmful, after all, and even when they were funny they were usually embarrassing. ... Not that she'd know directly ...
Quietly, Aeroniel swam through the waters to land behind Chromis, crossing her arms under her chest and watching him with a relatively unamused expression. If he turned around, he would be faced with the Lady In Waiting herself.

Plotting right along, Chromis went through dozens of idea with rapid fire sorting. Seaweed Crown? Nah that was more fit for King Chromis. Capturing a few small bright fish and hiding them on the thrown so when the Queen sat down they would all escape. He could picture it, though in his imagination the Queen was thrilled and praising him.
Briefly he considered a crab or sea anemone but that was tossed out, pinchies hurt.
Falling seashells could be pretty. Just how was that one going to work would be a fun puzzle. First he turned around to look at the ceiling. Only the ceiling looked like an unamused lady Naiad. When the hamster wheel of his brain clicked forward, Ninja Chromis went from there to soundlessly darting around the door.
It wasn't often a Naiad could see him--or bothered-- so it was unlikely she saw him. How funny would she look frowning at the floor! The mix of terror, even not believing she saw him it still gave him a fright. But he was also amused thinking his ninja skills were just too much for even someone who happened upon where he was.
Speaking of, was that the Queen? Oh that was embarrassing, plotting her pranking and she was right there looking at the floor. Did she do that often?Seiana_ZI Did Aeroniel order a headache today?

Aeroniel could barely believe that this male naiad was for real.
She knew many men were dense -- this was why women ruled -- but she had no idea of the depths of their denseness until just now. (Okay, that was a lie, considering the inanity she had heard from a lot of other pae but ... then again, this was a special kind of dense to think he could actually invade the Queen's Throne Room, plot a prank, and be praised for such actions.)
He seemed to be under the impression she couldn't see him. What, did he think he could really hide in plain sight?
Men were headache inducing sometimes.
"Chromis!" called Aeroniel, gaze sweeping around the room. (Considering how many times he called himself King Chromis or Ninja Chromis, she could guess his name was likely Chromis) "You're not that sneaky!"

Chromis popped out of his 'hiding' place and stared at the lady-Queen-naiad. With wide eyes he started to move closer to her staring as if she'd just said the most important thing ever. The hit on his ninja pride was forgiven, this one time. She knew his name! Finally his fame was responding.
'You know my name?' The thought matched with the silent lip movements. She didn't need to answer, she'd said his name! Shaking in place the grown male squealed mentally as he practically danced in place.
After all this time, his time to shine finally arrived! Seiana_ZI Congratulations Aeroniel is now Chromis' bestie best best friend blaugh

Did this man not even know who she was?
Aeroniel rolled her eyes. Egotistical, foolish, and oblivious. How typical. Why was he so excited she knew his name? Did she think that made him special? Maybe if he stopped thinking he was King Chromis so much, she wouldn't've have known who he was at all...
"Of course I know your name," stated Aeroniel, quirking a brow. "Why wouldn't I?"
Did he think she was the Queen?
She would have to see if she could fluster him, in that case.

It must be Queen thing, he decided before answering. 'I tell my name to everyone and they sometimes tell me theirs but never use!' As he spoke soundlessly, his frown and bunched up eyebrows gave indication of the irritation he felt towards it.
Really now, how hard was Chromis to remember? It was a shame that other Naiad just didn't recognize him for the awesomeness that he was. Plus it was just plan rude. While he didn't say those things he crossed his arms in time with the line of thought and 'humphed'. His shoulders rose with the start of the 'sound' and lowered when it ended.
The stewing was short lived as the excitement over the Queen-lady-naiad talking to him had not come close to running its course.

That ... wasn't the response she was expecting.
Aeroniel rubbed her neck awkwardly, watching as the man continued to move his lips, with no sound coming out. If it wasn't for the fact that he was repeating his words to himself as he said them, she likely wouldn't be able to understand him too well. That was probably the problem most of the other pae he talked to ran into as well.
Deciding to be nice and throw the ridiculous male naiad a bone, Aeroniel offered, "You know, you aren't making any noises when you talk, right? You're just moving your lips." Suddenly, she stopped talking and moved her lips to say, Like this without any words. "That's probably why most people can't understand you..."
Maybe he would be so distracted by this revelation she could shoo him out of the Throne Room. Court was not in session right now, after all...

He looked at her like she had two heads at that moment. He wasn't making any noise? With brow furrowed it took some consideration if he believed her. She could hear him just fine. Maybe she had better hearing? Probably spoke too softly, after all a ninja couldn't be loud it defined being a ninja. If he was too loud then all he'd be was a swirly fishcake.
Taking in a deep breath he proceeded to 'talk' as loud as he could.'How about this?' he asked as he 'said' the same at what would be shouting level for anyone normal. There was not an once of normal in his whole body.

Good! She distracted him. Carefully, she started moving towards him, hoping that he would move back a bit in response to maintain their distance --
That was until he tried fake shouting at her. Aeroniel quirked a brow at the silent shouting, before letting out a small snort. His lips were a little harder to read when he was attempting to yell, but he still knew what he was saying, considering he was thinking about it. And, anyway, she could have probably guessed considering what she just told him.
"That's not any better, Chromis. You're totally silent, just moving your lips exaggeratedly."
How long had this naiad thought he was talking, anyway? Did anyone teach him the right way to talk? He clearly wasn't deaf and seemed capable of moving his lips like he was talking, even though no sounds were actually coming out... Did he hear himself talking? Usually it reverberated in her own head when she spoke aloud.

Chromis didn't move an inch as she moved towards his position. Concentrating on 'yelling', he wasn't phased by her at all. Instead, he was baffled by the idea that no one could hear him but her. Then he repeated the statement again, no one but her. Thats when his head popped up and he smiled, using the distance she had tried to close herself to attempt to give her an unasked for hug.
'You can hear me!' his lips still moved, as he assumed she could somehow hear him talk while others couldn't. 'Best friend!' Declaring her so made her so as far as he was concerned. If she was the only one that could hear him then that meant he just needed to stay around her. She could translate for the others!
This was brilliant!
