( PRINCESS OF THE SEA )

                he stands at the railing, leaning forward as he inspects his hook. he particularly loved when the glitter of the sea reflected off the metal. he continues his inspection, an air of disinterest between him and the sea which she inhabited in a way he never could.                 “ there’s nothing i can offer you mermaid. ”

   Never was their a girl as incorrigible as Ariel, who skirted the surface of the sea with as much regard for it as a fish to water. She needed it much in the same way, the expanse above that she could not partake in but she could admire. Her chase had led her to a flagship, with dozens of men and no visible flag. She kept in check with the vessel, whereon a voice hailed her.

   Ah, an offer. Ariel smiled beneath the waves but rose herself enough to offer serene look. “I should think that’s a lie -- you can offer a story, if you’d like. They are my favorite.” And it was true; Ariel had a grotto packed with wares, so beyond the point of explosion -- but she sought word of mouth more. Her brazenness had only increased as she spent each year trapped in the sea, with no means to escape it.

   And so stories would do, for now. They would spur her on, the excitement of the tale enough to abate her anxious energy. For now.

  Ariel dropped her head a fraction as she disguised a cough. It was a uniquely human feeling, to let out a dry huff of a sound rather than a flurry of water. “My daddy’ll kill me if I get sick.”

ERIC:

        She waited at their usual spot, long carmine locks that were noticeable with the strongest winds in sight. Before their time schedule as usual, a few minutes earlier than the usual slot but regardless she was here as she had always been before, boots kick off allowing his feet to take in some of the thin AIR that could be heard as a crisp voice somewhere within the horizon.  

   ❛ — Just to find the usual trading partners. You wouldn’t want to hear any of that. ❜

   It’s peculiar to her, how luck had favored her so. She had come to land with little more than a satchel of gems, all scavenged from the lost ships under the water. As there was so many, so much, she hadn’t known their worth. It all formed together, her goods exchanged for currency, her work leading her to him. The royal family had an interest in her wares, and she had an interest in one of them.

   ❝You know I find it fascinating. But, I’m sure there was more to it. Did you have any nice foods? Or, hm, meet any interesting people?❞ Her curiosity couldn’t be contained, and so the questions flowed forth. Ariel took a page from his book, removing her own shoes, a simple pair of black linen and leather. She wriggled her toes in the sand, a ways away from the water.

Mermaid Merchant AU

Instead of Ursula using her powers to give Ariel her legs, Triton bowed on a few key conditions.

Firstly, Ariel was not to grow attached to the humans. She could go on land, walk about the people, but she could not reveal her true nature. If Triton suspected a human of getting too attached or knowing too much, they would suffer. This was emphasized strongly to Ariel. It was for the safety of his kingdom, and to keep her grounded.

Secondly, the magic only extends to a short range around the bay. If Ariel leaves that area, the magic wanes and she returns to her true form. She would need to find water immediately, or return to the area where the magic was effective.

Thirdly, Triton reserved the right to revoke her access to land if he felt she was becoming too attached. His thoughts were that if she was no longer forbidden from going on land, she would lose interest. All the while, Triton still has Sebastian tail her while she explores. If Sebastian says it needs to end, it’s over.

In addition to this, Ariel has a curfew and must return to the water before the sun sets. Failure to comply again results in the loss of her privileges until Triton feels as if he can trust her again.
