[@Legion02]Thalassa felt as though if she told him she was a princess, that he would laugh. She was scrawny on the mermaid side of things. And bony wasn't very beautiful. She often wished she was more pretty. So that at least she had one trait her father would be proud of. Luckily she found the more she adsorbed herself in helping animals, the less she worried about the petty feelings that swarmed her about her looks. As she gazed back into his eyes. There was that sharpness that seemed close to Arios's in his eyes. Not the look that demanded [i]Trust me[/i]. Instead, his eyes did not send chills down her back. It did not make her skin crawl. The aura his eyes gave off was more comforting than that. However still firm. [i]Respect Me[/i] it demanded simply. She could not lie to him. Even if he did not believe her. It wouldn't be right to lie. [b]"[color=Pink]I'm the Daughter of King (insert name because we don't have a king, yet)[/color]"[/b]  her voice held no pride, she was not bragging. She was only telling him what she was. Who she was. She did not have her own identity that anyone would recognize her by. She was known because of her father. Even after his passing. She would always be the kings daughter, or the new kings wife. Never could she be Thalassa. A mermaid more in love with animals than her own species. Thalassa wished she could swim away from her duties as a princess, and live among the animals
Of the sea. Taking care of them, with no expectations. With no proper manners, or judging scowls. She could swim free for hours each day with dolphins and seals. She could lay on the backs of whales, and help repair the homes of fish. Most mermaids would do anything to become a princess. While Thalassa would do anything to not be one. Others thought she was crazy. But she was simply wanting what her heart wanted.
