Amphi grinned as she watched Luz go deep into thought. She seemed to be getting the hang of it. She glanced around towards the trees Awesome! there ares some of those here to! Amphi trotted over and skillfully climbed the nearest tree. All around her were pinkish orange fruits about the size of her hand. Most were nice and ripe to. She grabbed two of them to show Luz. Amphi wasn't quite sure what humans could or couldn't eat. She slid back down the tree and yelled " Hey Luz i've got something else for you!" She held the fruit above her head so Luz could see "This is a mango!"

Balon snicker, still smiling at Leo's response. "Twice, actually. And the first time i had a little help". She winked at him. "I don't count Amphis affection as an assult, even though i did smack my head a little. While amphis extreme attention is a normal occurance for me, I'm not usually such a ditz! Its not esspecially a Mere trait."
"What about you? Tell me, Boloney do you go around knocking girl's shells off butt-ass naked often?" Then, she smiled, and showed off her dimples. Balon was almost knocked off his feet. What a beautiful smile... Damnit Balon snap out of it! He blinked, having not revealed his thoughts. At least that's what he thought. "Usually I don't get pounced by girls when I'm taking a relaxing bath in the hot springs, but sure, I'm totally at fault here." he rolled his eyes, grinning. "Is 'Boloney' supposed to be some sort of nickname? You can do better than that, Leo." he said, and he realized he had actually for the first time used her name. If 'Boloney' counted, she had used his name for the first time too. "What a weird thing though, at first we duke it off with swords, bashing our heads against the rocks and here we are just a moment later and I actually have no hard feelings at all."

Balon Looked shocked at her response for a moment Leo was afraid that she had been too crude. She was constantly being scolded by her kind for her way of talking. Before she could worry about he returned her sass, "Usually I don't get pounced by girls when I'm taking a relaxing bath in the hot springs," He caller her out and she wrinkled her nose guiltily."but sure, I'm totally at fault here." he rolled his eyes, grinning at her, making her return his smile. "Is 'Boloney' supposed to be some sort of nickname? You can do better than that, Leo." Leo shivered at the sound of her name on his lips.Trying to not let it show how it affected her she replied, "I was just making sure you were paying attention. Actually i heard from a merchant that boloney was a mass mixture of blended meat that your kind eats. Though I must admit that it does not sound very pleasant."
"What a weird thing though, at first we duke it off with swords, bashing our heads against the rocks and here we are just a moment later and I actually have no hard feelings at all." Leos smile slipped at the reminder of the fact of what she was supposed to be doing. It was her duty to the queen and her people to help bring the downfall of these invaders. She blinked hard, trying to put the negative thoughts in the back of her head. "Duking it out with swords is a bit of an overstatement don't you think? I didn't even get my hands on the things! And by 'Our' heads you mean mine, Balon, you dont have to sweeten it for me. We didnt have to duk anything! I kicked mt own ass!" She laughed.

Luz had never in her life seen a mango, let alone tasted one. "I think I've heard of them. They're supposed to be good. Never been within 50 feet of one before, though." She chuckled and looked on at the odd-looking fruits in fascination. "Maybe I'm too much of a former city slicker," she said with a grin. She trotted over after tossing the clams she'd gotten into a small bag and got a closer look. "I'll take a few of 'em, see how they are." She let out the softest of sighs. This place was great, and it seemed to her like they'd been making progress in terms of mermaid-human relations. She pictured staying on the island until she was an old woman, eating mangoes and clams. What an awesome thought.

"Oh good, then you can eat them! They are pretty sweet, I think they are the best fruit ever! You don't have to wait you know, you can just bite into it, see like this." Amphi took a big bite out of the mango and got juice all over her face. "SHee? ish gud!" She swalloed, and it was a bit too much. Hurt a bit. She held it out to Luz "go on, it's alright" as she smiled, happy to see Luz so impressed with her home.

For a second there, it almost looked like she was blushing again...
"Wait... Boloney is food? An actual word?" Balon asked, frowning. "Wait, are you calling me a 'mixture of blended meats'?!" He pretended to look hurt, sarcastically. When she mentioned the way she "kicked her own ass" though, Balon laughed loudly. "You sure did!"
For a moment it seemed like all the troubles in the world were gone. Like the past never happened. Like everything was okay and danger wasn't following him, like his memories from the mainland wasn't haunting him.

For a moment, he felt free.

"What!?" Leo blanched, "You've never eatten boloney!? " She shook her head dramatically."Balon how could you! Are you even living your life? Here you are being all human and you've never even eaten boloney before! Bah! How am i supposed to ask you what it taste like?!"
"Wait, are you calling me a 'mixture of blended meats'?!" he asked mock offended.
"Well," Leo remarked tilting her head and glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, " My people try to practice gender equality, but you definitly may be considered a hunk of meat." before she coud stop herself she wiggled her eyebrows. She cooed with laughter.
As he laughed about her almost KOing herself on the rocks she grinned, " Its a wonder i even made it through gaurd school! I wasn't top of my class, to say the least." She looked sheepishly at him. With all the fun she ws having she hardly noticed that they were still in the doctors hut. Balon looked relaxed and had a slight look of bliss on his face, she looked at him ccuriously wondering what caused it.

A hunk of meat! Balon scoffed. Sure he wasn't exactly skinny but come on, a 'hunk of meat'?
Guard school, eh... Balon thought. So she is a warrioress after all. No wonder, with that fiery temper. He kept the thoughts to himself thouguh as he eyed her for but a moment. Truly, the way she sat on the edge of the patient's bed here in the doctor's hut was something special. She truly looked marvelous, a stunning and mysterious creature she was. Mermaids truly are remarkable.
He realized however that she had noticed his bliss, and he tried to hide it.

Finally, he looked at her and smiled. If she was a warrior, surely she had weapons. Ah yes, she had mentioned them earlier...
"You never did tell me about your singing blades."

She smiled questionably as he tucked away the strange look on his face, then looked back at her and with a grin he stated "You never did tell me about your singing blades."
"Oh", she flushed pleasantly, " My girls, I have twin short blades. They are made with what we call Venus steel. Its metal that has been fused with the stongest demi-coral and the hardest gods pearl, and it has been sharpened with the sands of time. Any blade made with Venus steel is considere a very special blade,indeed. Its light wieght cuts like nothing ive ever seen before, but the thing that i believe makes it very special is that when you rub two Venus blades together they make a high pitched hum that we call the siren song. Its beautifully intoxicating." She sighed in admiration. ((Im so making this up as i go DX)) She got lost in the memories of her blades, what the training yard sounded like as pairs of Venus blades were raised against each other.Each warrior making thier blade sing its own song based on their fighting style. She was very proud of her blades, and her dumb ass had left them at home. She headed straight into invader territory with out her blades. But look, you dont need them, her mind interjected,she looked at Balon... And thought about what her queen would do to her if she could see her now. She sniffed vaguly irritated at herself,Trying to act like nthing was wrong she changed the subject.
"So," She smiled slightly, "You going to show a girl around or what?"

Balon smiled wide as Leo told him of her blades, and the mystic steel they were forged from.
"My girls, I have twin short blades. They are made with what we call Venus steel. Its metal that has been fused with the stongest demi-coral and the hardest gods pearl, and it has been sharpened with the sands of time. Any blade made with Venus steel is considere a very special blade, indeed. Its light weight cuts like nothing I've ever seen before, but the thing that i believe makes it very special is that when you rub two Venus blades together they make a high pitched hum that we call the siren song. Its beautifully intoxicating."
Balon listened to her with admiration. Truly, as a swordsman he was deeply interested in this Venus Steel. His blades were top-notch quality, sure, but they weren't made from such a mythical metal.
"So," She smiled slightly, "You going to show a girl around or what?"
"Ah but of course!" Balon said, standing up from straight. "Come, let's have a look around." He showed her around the village. From the doctor's hut to the village hall, the village center, the fields that were just now getting up and running, the path to the hot springs further into the woods and then the docks. He showed her the ship that had carried them all here. She was a beauty, although a bit rugged. "I don't know if you'd think me crazy, but sometimes when the loneliness of the sea got to me I would look out across the waters, leaning over the railings of the ship and I'd talk to her. How she was the only one who truly understood me nowadays, how I carried burdens like she carried passangers." He looked admiringly at the ship. He realized something then that made his smile drop... He hadn't been talking to the ship. He had been talking to the woman whose life he couldn't save. The innocent one that his captain had forced him to murder. He blinked and tried to regain his expression. "I mean talk to the ship." he smiled.
"Come, there's one last thing I want to show you." Balon walked away from the docks, but tossed a last glance at the ship. She was truly magnificent.
He led her into the clearing north of the village, and pointed up at a thick tree. A latter was dangling down from the thick brush of leaves. "That's where I made my home. In the trees." he grinned, proud of his accomplishment. "Now it wasn't easy climbing up that high with the material to build the hut, but it's my hut. And I did it anyway." He looked at her as if to say "Pretty impressive, huh?"

Without the slightest hesitation Luz took the mango and bit into it. She chewed thoughtfully, decided she liked it, and swallowed, then wiped the juice off of her mouth. "Why have I never tried this before?" she wondered aloud. She took a smaller bite and then handed it back to Amphi and spoke with her mouth full. "You can have the rest if you want. I need to process this incredible taste for a while."

Leo hopped up from the patients cot and followed behind Balon. She looked at all of the cloth homes with interest, while also taking note of details that she knew her queen would want her too; how many of their people they had, what kind of defenses they had. Leo was actually kind of surprised by the lack of the latter. There seemed to be barely any defenses at all. This may be because of their short time here on the island but it was almost like they thought that there was going to be no indigenous people at all. Even though it was true that the mere city was under the sea there were several merfolk who preferred living above ground. Cherished the feeling of the wind more than the push of the ocean. The second a scout saw the ship headed straight for their island the queen set everyone on high alert. The merfolk bolted from their land homes back to the water. Leo remembered the chill that had ran up her spine when the shadow of the massive ship had passed over her city. Looking at these cloth structures it was no wonder they hadn't found and ransacked the merhomes that lay scattered on the island. Mere folk appreciated nature above all else and formed their homes around nature instead of making nature bend to them; forming their homes and caves and tucked away little enclaves.

Balon then showed her the massive ship that allowed these humans to skip above water, looking very fond of it he spoke "I don't know if you'd think me crazy, but sometimes when the loneliness of the sea got to me I would look out across the waters, leaning over the railings of the ship and I'd talk to her. How she was the only one who truly understood me nowadays, how I carried burdens like she carried passengers."Leo looked at him curiously, burdens? she wanted to ask, what burdens? "Well all need someone to talk to." she said said softly feeling like there were deeper meaning in his words, his smile faulted and she reached out and touched his arm in concern. He quickly paste his smile on his face and moved along. whats wrong? she wanted badly to ask but she just let herself be lead a huge beauty of a tree
"That's where I made my home. In the trees." he grinned, proud of his accomplishment, and as she looked she now noticed the ladder. "Now it wasn't easy climbing up that high with the material to build the hut, but it's my hut. And I did it anyway." Leo'oooo'ed looking high up into the tree "Thats so brave of you!" She laughed"but knowing you i bet the moment the idea planted itself in you brain, hell or high water you were going to get your home built exactly how you wanted."She leaned towards him and spoke quietly, "you're kind of hard headed like that, arn't you?" She looked back up into the trees, "You know this is actually very mer-ish of you, you forming your home around nature. Though ive never heard of one of our kind making their home in a tree, we are a people of the water and the land. "She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. "The sky kind of intimidates us."

Amphi giggled " I'm glad you like it!" Amphi took another bite and thought about what other sorts of things Luz could eat and as she listed them off her eyes got wide as she remembered. "Oh! I have to tell you something!." She trotted closer to Luz. "Watch out for brightly colored things! Sometimes if a plant or an animal or bug is super colorful, that means it might be toxic...so if you find something like that...don't touch it." Amphi looked down all embarrassed. "I'm not questioning your intelligence... but it's common knowledge here...but your not from here..." She felt a bit awkward, she didn't want to come off as condescending...but she didn't want Luz to get hurt either...

Leo's "ooo"-ing was exactly what Balon wanted to hear. He grinned wide and put his hands on his hips, triumphantly.
"Thats so brave of you!" She laughed, "but knowing you I bet the moment the idea planted itself in you brain, hell or high water you were going to get your home built exactly how you wanted." "Damn straight!" Balon laughed in response. She leaned towards him and spoke quietly, "You're kind of hard headed like that, aren't you?" He smiled at her. She looked back up into the trees, "You know this is actually very mer-ish of you, you forming your home around nature. Though ive never heard of one of our kind making their home in a tree, we are a people of the water and the land." Balon raised his brows. "Is that so? I thought you lived beneath the waves always." She looked at him out of the corner of her eye. "The sky kind of intimidates us."
Balon snickered. "Intimidates you? You're a brave girl, you wouldn't let a bird or breeze deterr you. Besides, have you never just looked up and wondered what it'd be like up there? Being a bird?" he looked up at the blue sky and watched the wind rustle the leaves of the mighty trees.
"So... You wanna see what it looks like up there? Or are you scared of heights?" he said with a mean grin on his face.

The response to Amphi was an appreciative smile. "Well, I'm glad you didn't assume I was smarter, because where I come from, everything is just as toxic, bright or dull." She considered hugging the mermaid, but decided that it was too risky; she might startle her or get stabbed or, seeing as Luz was bisexual, maybe siren-ed to death in some way shape or form. So instead she just patted the young woman on the shoulder. "Don't sweat it. It was kind of you to inform me, and I'm not at all offended. A little pause because of the quietly whirring gears in her mind, and she continued.

"Between the mangoes, the clams, and the rest of what I lugged along on the ship, I think there's enough to make dinner, and I don't want to spend too long out here- it creeps me out a little, nature at night and all. It was a pleasure learning from you out here; maybe you'd want to cook with me?" The fish will have to wait till another day. She started to head back toward camp and made a mental note to definitely go fishing tomorrow.

Amphi gave a relived sigh "Sure i'd love to help!" She picked up some of the supplies they had gathered and started to make her way back then said "But you know, the trees are the safest place to be at night. Well on land at least. They give an height advantage while also camouflaging you, and most things around here that walk or crawl aren't very skilled at climbing. I mean it's hard for something to sneak up on you while your looking down at it." Amphi gave an excited jump "Oh! and also traveling from tree to tree is the safest, since no one would be dumb enough to put hunting traps in the trees!" She had always been proud of her home, and now that there was someone else who mostly walked around it, she could finally show it off!~

Leo raised her eyebrows, "if we lived beneath the waves always then why would we have pair of legs?" Balon snickered at her "Intimidates you? You're a brave girl, you wouldn't let a bird or breeze deterr you. Besides, have you never just looked up and wondered what it'd be like up there? Being a bird?" he looked up at the blue sky, she smiled at him. of coarse she had wondered. but she was already a creature of both the land and sea, to ask to be a creature of the sky too would be to ask for too much.
"So... You wanna see what it looks like up there? Or are you scared of heights?" he said with a taunting grin on his face. "Psst!" she snorted jutting her chin out stubbornly. "Scared? Me? Yeah right!" She strutted forward grabbing the ladder and took the first few steps up. even though her stomach fluttered nervously she smirked down at him, "try to keep up!" She took a deep breath and continued to climbed, just knowing she was going to be light headed and out of breath by the time she reached the top

Grinning, Balon let the mermaid go up the ladder first. He didn't mind, I mean who would mind watching the behind of a beautiful woman? Discreetly, that is. It's all about staying classy about it. He grabs the ladder and waits until Leo is up all the way before climbing it. "You look a bit green, miss." Balon says tauntingly as he pops his head out of the hole in the floor of the treehouse. It's quite roomy, and has two rooms. The hole is in the middle of the big room, with the "kitchen" area (it's not much) at one end and a table at the other end. It has two simple chairs (everything is simple) and a bunch of shelves that are quite empty at the moment, but it seems Balon has done what he can to fill them.

The doorway to the other room has no door. The second room isn't as big as the other, but it has a simple (although comfy-looking) bed, with a trunk at the other end of the room which probably contains all his clothes. "I've been meaning to craft some sort of weapon-stand where I can put my swords when I'm not using them, but seeing as I -just- got this thing finished the other day, I... Haven't done much. But it's a start."
He gestured with open hands toward the cottage. The windows were glass-less but had shutters. He went up to one and leaned out of it, taking a breath in.
"This is what we're all about, Leo. We haven't come here to conquer, or cause pain to your people." He looked at her, serious for a moment. "We just want a home to call our own. I think Blythe even named this island "Paradise" or something."

Luz looked up at the treetops with clear doubt in her eyes and answered, "But then if you fall out, the things that walk or crawl here will have an advantage.. And I'm not very skilled at climbing either, so in the end they'd probably win, unless I can bag them and put them in a stew." She picked up her pace at the thought of some weird, exotic and perhaps delicious animal trying to tear her limb from limb after falling from a height. "Maybe you can give me a climbing lesson when it's lighter out, yeah?" she added, flashing a quick grin.

Amphi giggled "Yes, well, not falling out of the tree is kind of the idea." Amphi gave Luz a wink "Sure I wouldn't mind teaching you. We should probably get back to the camp though, Your people are probably starving!" Amphi started to skip along, it's not every day you make a new friend after all.~ After this dinner thing though, she should really get back and report her findings. Although...it is going to be very difficult to explain things to the queen. "SO, Blythe said you guys came here for peace...but peace from what exactly?"
