Moony and Wormy (1x1)

[Wormgod]

Artyom sat up and looked at Bella. Her voice was loud when he was in the water. Sound traveled easier there.

"Hmm? Oh..." He sighed through his gills, making a very odd and disturbing rattling noise, "I know I know it is stupid to think like this, but...I do want to see them again. They were...What everyone says their type are."

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bellatrix nodded. "Everyone does. I don't blame you." She murmured softly and pushed her face into the pillow, letting out a heavy sigh.

[Wormgod]

Artyom frowned and looked at her, "You're jealous." He stated and quickly ducked his head in the water bed, getting as much water in his gills before he stood up and walked over toward her.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bellatrix glanced up at Artyom and shrugged. Aurai were horrible liars so most of the time she didn't bother. "Naiads are gorgeous and people actually think about them and recognize them. Aurai are light breezes--no one notices us, they just notice that the weather is so much more pleasant and blame it on the mere temperature."

[Wormgod]

Artyom chuckled and sat on her bed, "By "no one" I assume you mean humans." He said, "Humans are stupid. We have a similar species in Russia, the Veela--you might have heard of them, that famous British woman wrote about a sports game where they were the cheerleaders. They're abut the same as naiads, but they are more related to gods than elements. All the human men search for them and get their souls eaten, but some people still search for the Rusalka, the souls of women."

[MoonlitxMidnight]

"The veela... they get searched for. They are noticed, they are learned about, they are wanted." Bella murmured, "Many greek creatures are being forgotten now. Aurai are just one of them. All humans want to know about are my cousins, the dryads and the naiads." She shrugged, "And no one cares enough about us to want to remember."

[Wormgod]

Artyom shrugged, "If that was true, you might not exist." He mused, then added, "How do you think I feel? No one remembers us anymore, and if they do, all they remember are the bearded, alcoholic smokers. I don't even have a beard!" He said and casually fished a bottle of vodka out of his luggage and sipped it.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

Bellatrix suddenly felt incredibly guilty. "Oh, gods, I'm so sorry, I feel so selfish." She cried, covering her mouth in horror and looking at him, looking absolutely mortified.

[Wormgod]

Artyom looked at Bella, then at the vodka, "No, you're not being selfish. All of us feel this way...Want a sip?" He offered.

[MoonlitxMidnight]

"I'm not one of Dionysus' hags... But yes, please." Bellatrix murmured and took the bottle, taking a deep drink of it and wiping her lips before giving it back to Artyom. She hissed at the sting of the drink, but otherwise was fine.
