 Enakai meandered from the swamp the the beach. She was feeling the need to explore the depths of the ocean once ore like she'd done as a filly with her father on occasions. Wading into the salty water, a smile spread over her maw as she swam out to deeper water. Taking a breath, she ducked under and with a swish of her tail, made her way after a small school of fish that were playing hard to get. It wasn't that she was terribly hungry, she just missed the days of chasing ocean fish while her brother complained and fought to swim. Time spent with family in the water. While Croatoan didn't care much for the water, he at least tried to suffer it for her sake.

 Zuriel was rather lazily swimming along, not particularly caring where he was headed. The familiar flash of silver in the distance alerted him to a school of fish, moving rather quickly. That typically meant a predator. Zuriel's guard went up. For fish a predator could be a slightly larger fish, nothing he needed to worry about, or something actually dangerous, even to him. Rather than swim away he swam deeper, looking upwards to toward the fish and knowing that in the thrill of the hunt hunters often forgot to take their eyes off their prize, or at least look at different levels than their prize.
But their hunter seemed to be a kelpi. Zuriel's eyes lit up, it had been a while since he had had someone to talk to, and a kelpi nonetheless! One of the finned and tailed four-leggers.He swam toward it, completely forgetting (or ignoring) that they were chasing fish, and immediately introduced himself. "Hello there! My name is Zuriel, what brings you out here?"
Yes, the mer might have been alone for just a little too long.

Her eyes had narrowed pupils in that preditorial look till her chase was cut short by a mer, male from the sounds of him. Blinking she shifted her tail and shifted to the side, turning a circle to stop and look at him. Unlike her father, she's never gotten talking underwater down. Like her mother she breathed air and couldn't breath underwater. Looking up to the surface, she looked back at him and gave a sharp nod before slapping her tail to propel her upward. It was when her head broke surface that she let out the breath she had held and looked around, waiting for the mer. She wasn't irritated since she really hadn't been hunting, just enjoying a game of chase the fish.

Curiosity piqued, Zuriel followed the kelpi upwards, twisting his body in the way that only a creature that lived in the water could to propel himself. It was not a race so he coasted the last several feet to the surface, popping up to enjoy the bizarre sensation of air on his face, a feeling he never truly got used to.
"Sorry if I interrupted you, I just wasn't used to seeing anyone around these parts," he explained. "Well, there are a few four-leggers that come to the beach, but no one really swims."

She shook her head and offered a pleasant smile showing her sharp teeth. There'd been a time when she'd have snapped at him and been most mean but since meeting Croatoan, she'd softened to a more tolerating level. Idly she watched a piece of kelp float by. "It's fine. I was only chasing them for the memory of the chase.. How the swarm through that pink stuff down there.. it always amused me when I was a filly learning to swim."

Zuriel nodded. "Chasing fish can be quite fun, though most of the time I just swim with them." He had noticed her teeth though, and he eyed her curiously. "Oh, are you one of those that feeds on fish?" He had met those kinds before, but rarely, and he really did not understand it himself. Not really thinking about whether or not it was a rude question he just went right out and asked, "why would you eat another creature?"

She nodded a moment before his next question. "I just always have.. an occasional diet of vegetation's fine.. it just doesn't keep me going. That doesn't mean I don't respect the creatures I eat.. they just give their life forces to feed my own and for that.. I respect them, even if i delight in chasing them from time to time." She had a look of bemusement as she arched an eyebrow at him.

Oh, so she could eat plants if she wanted to? That was actually pretty useful."Chasing them can certainly be fun!" He declared cheerily. Especially chasing them through...wait a second. A puzzled look crossed his features. "Er...what pink stuff did you chase them through? I thought the fish were in the kelp?" And that kelp? It was green, with a bit of brown.

"They were.. that stringy grassy pink stuff." She nodded to give her words weight. "It's a really strange shade of pink... not like the leaves and the grass.. but pink all the same." She sounded so sure of herself, no hint of humor to her voice to give any gag away. After all.. She saw the world differently, some colors just weren't the same to her as they were to others.
