~Troubled Waters~ (Closed over and done with)

[RevJunior]

Cadyn groaned a bit and swam towards the entrance to his rooms. Gods his muscles hurt but he needed to reach his father. He took a deep breath and let it out as a his between his fangs as he changes his legs into fins once more. He rolled his shoulders to releive some tension and made his way quickly to the palace and into the private rooms of his father, the former King. He hoped to have his father reinstated soon though considering while Cadyn liked Eden, he was in way shape or form ready to mate just yet.

Boann let out a trumpeting roar that traveled several nautical miles to the palace guards, signaling her return. She had worked her large, serpentine body very hard just to get here even with the aid of the currents. Her heart had sank when she heard of what had happened to her King. She loved Cyrus dearly and if circumstances were different she would of mated the Elder Mer. Prince Cadyn, or rather King now had been very cute when he was little and he had grown into such a strong young Mer too. His sisters were darlings and she had raised them all as her own children considering that she, herself had never found a mate.

[silence.]

Tempest stalled, hearing Boann's roar. 'Well,' he supposed, 'I suppose this will be the only chance I'll get to meet her, if she doesn't come back in one piece. Or if I don't survive long enough.' Altering his course, the small drake glided back towards the palace, minty eyes watching the guards warily. Thankfully, no one snapped at him to stop and state his business.

((A bit of WB, here...))

Bo swam harder until she reached the palace...she did not stop but instead flicked the warrior standing guard their over to the side impatiently. The male really shouldn't be so pissed...in the mood she was in it was lucky she didn't snap the Mer up as a meal. She fit her larger body through the smaller doorways by stretching her imperssive length out, copper colored dorsal fin glinting in the light as he green eyes darkened to the point of polished emeralds.

Elque flicked her tail as she swam into the palace- after arguing her right to be there with the same guard as yesterday. She headed towards the war room, her muddy blue eyes flicking around. In front of her was Bo and maybe the drake from before. With a soft sigh that escaped her blow hole as bubbles she prepared herself for what might come.

[silence.]

Silently, Tempest inclined his head to Bo, before fixing his gaze on Elque. He was pretty sure he'd seen her face, before... oh. Right, last night, she'd been at the meeting. Hadn't she volunteered for the quest? Or, at least, something like that? Tempest mentally shook his head; he hadn't been paying attention to her scent, and dolphins were a little hard to tell apart.

[The Logical Rattie]

Elque suddenly felt like she was being watched and looked up to meet the eyes of the drake, her own curious. She let out a soft sigh and dipped her head in respect to him, he was at the king's right after all.

[RevJunior]

Boann began to walk, settling down on her strong, slender legs as she took in the male. She growled and curled her lip back when she first spotted Tempest, thinking he was just another suitor come to try and take her. She settled down and nodded back after a few minutes when he made no move towards her. "Who are you?" she asked briskly. She needed to get to Cyrus.

[silence.]

"Tempest," the dragon murmured, turning to look at Boann, "I'm..." he hesitated, one of his forepaws scuffing at the ground, "Cadyn's friend." Did he deserve that title? Tempest couldn't be sure. His minty green eyes darted around the area, and his breaths came in shallow; no need to focus on the signs of Mer life, which swam all around his vision.

[RevJunior]

"Hey kid! Focus" she growled in exasperation, eyes a bit amused as she snapped her talons in front of the smaller male's muzzle. "Pay attention since I don't have much time. It's nice to meet you Tempest, friend of Cadyn. I'm sure it's an intetersting story about how you met but I must see the king now. If you have clearance you may come with me" no need to worry after all considering she would be there to protect the king from the smaller male."We can speak later as well if you want as long as it's not you looking for breeding rights. I don't put up with that crap even though you don't seem like the type. Got it? Good." she said in a steady stream of words that were crisp and easily understandable.

[silence.]

"...I'm not even a fully grown adult," was all Tempest managed to get out, as he blinked rather owlishly, "Why would I want a mate?" Shaking his head with a disgusted thought pointed towards the males he used to travel with, he added, "And I should have clearance... if not I can, um, leave. I don't mind waiting." Really, he didn't... but he swore, if a Mer randomly popped up, he'd have some sort of fit.
