Ella had spent so long trying to remember how to be herself, continuously just working at herself. And now she really felt like she was back to before everything had gone so wrong in her life. As she sat at the table in the restaurant she couldn’t help but smile as a butterfly landed on her hand, it felt like she was really getting back to being herself. “His name is reginald, I warn you he doesn’t take kindly to other names.”

Dovern furrowed her brows as the blonde woman spoke to her. She wasn’t sure what to say in reply. “She can’t imagine many would be kind to the wrong name.” She finally let out, confused but not worrying about it. She was drenched in cold water from the bay, and in a particularly good mood, ready to seduce and drown some willing victim. She was hungry for the flesh of struggling, drowning humans. Almost immediately upon thinking of it, however, she realized that this person was indeed not human, and felt an emotion fall over her- disappointment, was it?

The cold was bitter and biting as he swam through it, he had spent too long out of the water and his bones were aching for the stretch. As he swam hard through the water he made his way back to the surface, it was a quick dip but it would have to suffice, he needed to find Tallie to pick up Riss before a family day at the park. He surfaced and felt the ice sticking to his beard, though it didn’t last nearly as long as it would have a month ago. “God it feels good to be back in the water.”

Dovern was more than excited that it was becoming cold now. The cold reminded her of her river- her self. It made her long for home. Therefore, she was spending most of her time in her other form- a strong black horse, or a spirit, swimming through the currents, weaving in the waves, and just floating about. As it approached the docks- which were less busy now, giving it more time to do whatever it wanted- It noticed a body swimming. Quickly, Dovern changed back to the human female form It took on most of the time. She rose above the water, naked and deep black hair cascading over her breasts. She said nothing, but made her way towards the docks, nearly hoping to avoid confrontation. She wasn’t sure exactly what he was- but he wasn’t anything she needed.

Vivian shrugged back at the woman, she wasn’t going to push over something that didn’t seem like a big deal especially since she didn’t really know the woman. “If you say so.” She said lightly. Vivian tilted her head and let her hair cascade over her shoulder. “No particular reason. I wasn’t seeking anyone out really.” She glanced back at the water and then gave the woman a small smile. “I like the water. It calls to me.” She chuckled lightly as she thought of the new Disney movie that Angelique was obsessed with. “I come down here or to the beach on my lunch break, I eat good food and get my ocean fix all in one go.” She chuckled lightly.

Dovern nodded lightly, “she- I was taking a break.” Dovern let herself fall to the water just below her, landing on her feet and sinking her toes into the sand. “the water is home to many, sweet girl. Be careful in it.” Dovern wasn’t sure why she was acting like she had a fondness for the girl. Kelpie’s had no use for fondness or love or anything of the like. It seemed useless to make the girl feel comfortable around her, too. But, she was doing it anyways. “what do you eat?” eating wasn’t a necessity for Dovern, but she thought it would make her look more human if she did it.

She felt her face flush and a slow burn of humiliation course through her. “My age may be low but that doesn’t mean much in our world, does it?” She drew shapes and symbols into the sand that surround the blanket that she and Angel were on. It took her a moment to understand the other woman’s way of speaking and she ducked her head a bit, tucking her hair behind her ear. “You must be very strong then.” She noticed the fire was lowering, it must be dying, but didn’t move to build it back up. She’d have to take Angel home soon so the baby wouldn’t catch a cold. What …. What are you, if you don’t mind me asking?” She glanced down to watch as sand filtered through her fingers.

Dovern tilted her head to the side. “it was not an insult, sweet girl.” she smiled, watching the symbols and recognizing them briefly through her travels. This girl was like what she was looking for- but no. She couldn’t hurt this girl. She couldn’t trap her and force her to help her. She shook her head, shrugging at the girl’s comment. “She wouldn’t say that- strength is not she’s- her’s- her strong point.” Dov wasn’t quite sure how to answer the question, though. There had been towns who tried to kill her when they found out what she was. “I believe you would call me a  female?” she said, feeling weird using I in referring to this body.

Gabriel watched her carefully, grunting lightly when his partner elbowed him and he glared at his partner, it wasn’t like he a ogling her! He just wanted to know what she was. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Dovern.” Her accent was nice but a little thick but he could still understand her perfectly. “We’re just waiting for someone who has some information regarding a case of ours.” Gabe’s partner said lightly. Gabe was startled and a little wary when she practically sauntered towards him. “My magic?” He tilted his head, playing with the cigarette in his hand. “Nothing’s wrong with my magic.”

“it’s a... pleasure,” she repeated him, smiling. She thought she was doing good at this whole humaning thing. Though, she wasn’t sure, of course. Case? Case like a chest? she thought, slightly confused, however, she kept it to herself, not wanting to embarrass herself. Confusion hit her harder when he said there was nothing wrong with his magic. Was she wrong? Had her instincts inferred something wrongly? She shrugged, “okay then....” she bent to the side a bit, looking towards the man’s partner, “and- what is he? he feels like a brick wall.”

Vivian had just been taking a walk during her lunch break when she decided to wander down to the docks to look at the water as she munched on her sandwich. She was humming softly to herself as she thought of all the thigns she wanted to do with Angelique when she got home and all of the things she needed to do to get her apartment back in order. She was startled when someone spoke to her. She frowned in confusion and glanced around, she quickly spotted the person though it did take her a moment to recognize the woman. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”

Dovern was not expecting the woman to appear, seemingly out of no where. She perked up, glancing down at the girl. She recognized her from the beach, but was surprised not to see her baby with her. “It is nothing for you to understand.” She shook her head, shrugging slightly, still laying back against the support beam. “What does the girl want?” she asked, tilting her head in the witch’s direction, “is there a reason for seeking out I? Your subconscious brought you here- why?”

Vivian blinked in surprised and then felt her face flush as it hit her that the woman was naked. She quickly turned her head to look at Angelique’s sleeping form as she listened to the woman get dressed. “What makes you think I’m so unprotected?” She asked curiously, peeking through her hair to make sure the woman was dressed before turning to face her fully once more. Her magic may not have been ideal for a fight but after That Night she made sure to practice as much defensive and even one or two offensive spells as she could to protect herself and her daughter. “What about you? Aren’t you kind of unprotected as well?”

Dovern smiled, “Your youth all but proves it, sweet girl.” She murmured, edging closer, and finally kneeling int he sand, her dress still clinging to this flesh she was still uncomfortable in. She pulled her hair all to one side, combing through it with her long slender fingers, before starting to braid it into one thick side brain. Human hair was so much more irritating to her than her mane. “Oh, sweet girl. She cannot die. She can hardly be marred. She is fine. You are sweet for worrying, however.” She smiled, keeping her distance from the fire. Though it could not hurt her, it was the exact opposite of what she felt comfortable around.

Gabriel blinked at the sound of a voice and looked at the woman before glancing at his partner who shook his head lightly. This wasn’t the person they were waiting for, Gabe gave her his trademark boyishly charming smile and took his cigarette out of his mouth. “Sorry, ma’am, we’re just waiting for someone is all. I’m Detective Hudson, this is my partner.” He nodded to his partner before glancing at her again. She was something, something water related but not a mermaid and not a siren. Perhaps a selkie or a kelpie? He’d never met either one before.

Dovern nodded awkwardly- how many of her movements were. But to his eyes they would be smooth. Something about other people having a different perception of Kelpies. His charm sent a pang through her chest. Why? What was he? “They call her Dovern,” she spoke clearly, but her thick Scottish accent was dancing on her tongue. “I do not think I can help if I do not know what you’re looking for- but ...” she stepped closer, sauntering almost, “You, you are looking for answers, are you not? Something with your magic, hm?”

Sophia scrubbed the palms of her hands into her eye sockets, she was trying to hard to remain fine and yet it seemed like everyone she knew, and those that she didn’t know, had come to find her with her heart screaming on the side of the street. Some parts of her hated the idea of getting stuck in this position, but other parts of her knew that she needed someone to see this so she could get help. She looked up at the woman, the gentle touch to the shoulder was actually more comforting than she’d admit, and she nodded, taking a few deep breaths, repeating that she’d be okay.

The girl would have been an easy target, but there was something about her. She wasn’t a normal human. “Sweet girl, why are you so upset?” she murmured, brushing her hair back and running her thumb and fingers over the girl’s tears. Deveron hugged the fae to her chest, using her opposite hand to hold the tanned girl to her chest. “It is gone, sweet girl. The terror is gone. It is just you and I. Breathe, relax. You are okay. You are fine.” She whispered, kissing the top of the girls sweating head. the stress was thick in the air, and she was obviously hurt. “Would you like to talk about it?”

Saer took a few deep breaths as he felt his sisters presence wash up behind him, followed by her husband and children, feeling the panic in his heart as he relived their last moments again as they moved in front of him, ready to disorient her and push her backward. He took another deep breath and shook his head. “No not this time Lylywyn, it’s okay.” He cleared his throat and stepped forward, moving away from the house and out of the property line. “You do not know what they are capable of.” He shook his head, “once again, you do not understand, it belongs to the ghosts that wander the earth, not you nor I, it belongs to the ancestors.” He frowned at her grin, shaking his head. “Because you seem to have a decent age behind you, and yet you seem so ignorant.”

Deveron still had a heavy curiosity in her about this man. As a spirit herself, she could feel the ghosts he was peaking to around her. She continued to glance around, but all while keeping her attention to the man that she was wary of. “Wariness and fear do not come easily to someone without need of it.” she explained, shrugging gently. “I disagree- it belongs to itself- just as the water’s belong to themselves.” a mild annoyance was peeking up through her curiosity, “Not ignorant- I jus’ think differently than you do, is all." she refused to ever admit her age to people, and part of that was- she assumed, the fact hat she had no earthly idea how old she was herself.

He openly rolled his eyes at what she said, not bothering trying to hide it. “I’d much rather let someone know before they cross the line than when they’ve stepped over the line and the ghosts of my past have flared from beyond the grave.” His lips pulled back in an almost snarl as she took two more steps toward him, his eyes darkening when she spoke again. “I could ask you the same seeing as you clearly do not belong in this land.” He almost laughed. “Well for starters, you feel as though you belong more to water, and you have clearly ignored my request to leave.” At the last words, the ground beneath his feet shook. “Though I am quite amused.”

Deveron could not say she wasn’t amused and intrigued by his words. The ghost of his past? She quite wanted to know what exactly that meant. She had no fear- had been threatened and had attempts made on her life many a times. Despite the ones who had tried to go through with it, none had succeeded. “I take it that one is even less friendly than you ‘re, eh?” she asked. “I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t belong on a land, darling.” She shrugged,  “Is belonging to the water a crime, then? since you seem so... ill ’bout it?” She grinned at his amusement. Dov had learned that amusement tended to go far with people- especially men. “And why, exactly, do I amuse you?”

“Stop it! Stop it get away from me!” She cried, moving away from the apparent nothing that was following her, but she knew better, every fibre of her being was frazzled from all the run ins with the ghost of her mother, and now it was breaking her. “Leave me alone! Get out of my head!” She cried again,stumbling backward, feeling tears assault her cheeks.

Dov Could hear the cries from miles away. The broken heart. Broken hearts were more often a sirens tool of use. But Kelpies, she had learned, would also use them. Use them to know who would be easiest to seduce and lure away, to drown. She rushed towards the feeling of the heart, before she felt mildly crushed by the site. She edged towards the girl, crouching down and gingerly putting her hand on her shoulder. “Breathe, love. It’s going to be okay. It’s going to be okay. Shhh, hush now, hush. Breathe.”

“Whhhhy did it have to be the docks? Haven’t I had enough trouble with the docks and supernaturals?” Gabriel whined to his partner, who gave him an unamused look. “You should just be grateful your dad is letting you out of the office, dumbass.” He winced lightly and nodded slowly. Things had gotten better since he and Ella had tried to take on the Council but he was still watched fairly carefully by his parents. “Yeah, you’re right…. And I am … but I swear if Ariel’s evil twin shows up again I am gone.” He snorted lightly, pouting when his partner laughed at him, before glancing around waiting for whatever informant his partner had. He lit a cigarette to calm his bored nerves and sighed out the smoke, careful to keep it away from his partner.

Dov was working hard on the docks, keeping her mind distracted from her wanting to drown every person around her. The urge was strong, but this was a place she needed to stay. It was her only chance to find the Mataku who took her home away from her. She yawned and stretched, double checking that the boat docked at this spot was paid to date. A bit off, she heard a voice, and felt a pulse of magic. A mildly familiar pulse of magic. “Can sh- I help you?” She asked, turning to look towards the steps. He didn’t look familiar at all, so she had no idea how he would feel familiar to her. “Looking for something?” there was a jumping in her throat, a want to seduce and drown him, especially at the way he said Ariel’s evil twin.

The docks were particularly busy on this evening. Dov had never worked this hard in her life, it seemed, and she was exhausted. Her fingers- despite her being superhuman- were tearing and welting, bleeding slightly into rope she was knotting into a net. As she came to the end of one rope, she dropped it to the wood of the docks and padded her way with bare feet down to the water. She pulled herself up to a diagonal wooden plank that held up the docks. She laid back, resting and staring up at the dock above her. 

“There’s an inlet waaaay over there, it’s got to swim over there one day when it’s not busy.” she murmured to herself, pointing far off. Deveron had heard there was possibly another Kelpie in the inlet of the other island.

Saer had been trying harder to remember how to exist as a person, but it didn’t stop him from having lapses in judgement, not that he would ever admit to the lapse, he was far too stubborn to ever admit his own faults. He narrowed his eyes toward the woman that spoke to him, eyes narrowing even more as he watched her feet. “No, you aren’t yet, but two more steps and you will be, you do not see a fence line but there was one before the fire. However if you take two more steps toward me you will feel that you are on my property.” He didn’t know what she was, but he knew she wasn’t human.

She was annoyed nearly immediately at his words. “If I’m not yet on your proper’y. You would be wise to not crucify someone for a crime, before it is committed.” She stared off towards him, and glanced down at the ground, measuring out two steps from her current situation and taking them. She could almost feel what he was talking about, on the tips of her toes. “What are you?” she asked plainly, not caring much for beating around the bush. “ ‘n why don’t you like me around, exactly? What ‘ave I done t’you?”
