((Rp for myself and Hatter))  Bubbles had met enough of those land walkers and just thought she'd stick to the sea for a while. This was, after all, her new home. She liked to explore the colorful reefs that were usually off shore since there weren't many of those out in the middle of the ocean, so many colorful fish swam in and out of the bright formations. A bright blue fish caught her eye and she tried to follow it through the reef but quickly lost it in the schools of fish.
Not far from the reef, she found a bed of kelp to munch on as she rested on a rock to watch all the fish go about their daily routines.

He had left Kali tucked away in the reef where she hopefully wouldn't get in any trouble. She was still angry at him for something and he didn't feel like arguing with her today. No. He felt more like finding something soft and scaley to chew on.
He coasted around the reef easily with small flicks of his tail as he patrolled for something that looked like a good meal. A few fish here and there caught his eye but most of them were paying too much attention to deal with hunting them.

Something blue caught her eye but it moved out of her vision so she got up and swam over to investigate. Peeking around the reef she saw a dark blue mer stallion! His tail was pointed though, like a shark instead of looking like a fish fin.
Swimming back around the other side of the reef she peeked out again to get a better look and see what he was up to. She hadn't met another like herself yet so this was a momentous day.

His tail flicked as he turned after a fish who looked tasty. Twisting his body he reached out and snapped his teeth around the poor unsuspecting fish. He wrenched it in half and tossed back the first half of the fish before he went after the second half.
That had been a tasty snack but it wasn't all that filling. He'd have to find something bigger to snack on.

"Why'd you do that?" she asked, now looking down at him from on top of the reef. "There's plenty of kelp, y'know. You don't have to eat the fish." Obviously she didn't put two and two together that being part shark he would eat fish instead. Why would anyone eat fish?, she thought, still a bit horrified that he did that.

He turned slowly as he heard a voice behind him. It was defiantly female but it wasn't Kali. "Why did i do what?" He thought nothing of eating fish since he'd been doing so for as long as he could remember.
They were far more filling than plant matter that was soaked in salt water.

She swam down off the reef and stopped a few feet away from him. "Why did you eat that fish? Do you always eat those fish? I mean, I don't eat fish and we look the same...kinda so I don't see why you have to eat them." Bubbles had kinda lost herself on her little rant and wondered if her really was some kind of shark but just looked like one of her kind...Strange.

"I've always eaten fish." He turned fully to face her and hovered in the water. It was fortunate that he wasn't stuck with the limitations of the kind he resembled. While it would have been nice to set her off balance by circling her he was tired.
"Flesh tastes far better than kelp."

"Hm. I suppose everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I must say I wasn't expecting a flesh eater for my first encounter of my own kind. By the way my name is Bubbles," she smiled with a swish of her tail. He seemed nice for the most part, other than the fact that he ate fish but eveyone has their own tastes. "What made you try fish in the first place? Curiousity?"

"Don't get out much do you?" He shifted a bit and turned to start a circle around her. She would either turn with him or he would have a very nice opening to take a chunk out of her backside.
"I have always eaten fish. There was no 'testing' to see if it was good or not." He assumed his parents had eaten fish too but seeing as how he had not grown up with them he wasn't sure.

"No not really," she laughed a bit. Blinking curiously she looked around at him as he circled her. "Oh...What're you doing?" She turned a couple times with him but kinda gave up and just followed him with her head. "If this is some kind of game, it's not very fun."

"Oh it's rather fun..." He smirked as he circled around her again. There was a blind spot now that she wasn't moving and he took the oppertunity to snap his teeth at her flesh.
If she was smart she'd feel the water moving and she'd get out of the way. If not? Well then he'd just take a chunk out of one of her fins for the lesson.

"I don't see how this is-OUCH!" She darted away and hid behind the reef for a moment to examine her damaged fin. "What was that for?!" she shouted at him as she peeked out for behind the reef. "What the hell did I do to you, huh?? When you said you ate fish I didn't think you were a canibal!" she snorted.

"Predators hardly make distinctions between what sort of meal they get" He didn't so much think of it as eating his own kind as eating something slow enough to get caught in his teeth.

"Well I'm no meal so keep your teeth to yourself! And just stay over there away from me. I suggest you stick to fish." She remained behind the reef, not daring to even come back out anymore in front of him after that.
