As part of a marked effort to be a greater guild member, Pia decided to chip in to help not only her own guild but members of their sister guild as well. This, of course, involved funding explorations.

Though Pia might not have been the sharpest crayon in the box, that wouldn’t stop her from enjoying a good book or two. Her obsession as of late had been with none other than romance novels—an interest she partook in with no ounce of shame, mind you. Waltzing in to the library, Pia tapped her chin before the shelves in which they were stacked. It seemed that they had yet to receive their latest shipment, and all the books that remained were those that she had little interest in.
Breathing an exaggerated sigh, the mermaid turned as she heard a quiet shuffling beside her. There was another young woman perusing the shelves. Perhaps she could point Pia in the right direction?
“Hey! You like romance stories too?” she giggled,
“Which one have you got in your hands there?”

For Gill, the days following Max De Sainte-Coquille’s rooftop party were spent in quiet, introspective solitude. Lucky enough for him, it seemed most did not fully recollect the events of the party or the fact that he had been in attendance. Unlucky for him, though, he remembered everything in perfect clarity. Perhaps he had not been as drunk as he had put out, but had simply been telling himself he was utterly wasted as an excuse for his juvenile actions.
Juvenile indeed.
How many people had he kissed at that party? He recalled a blonde woman and a loud male. There was another, but he hadn’t caught her name and only remembered her as a pink haired mermaid. Mermaid? Mermaid. It wasn’t like he’d see her again, so it didn’t matter.
Or so he thought.
What was intended to be a stress-relieving trip to the hot springs quickly took a turn as he was stopped by a head of pink he recognized immediately. The recognition was evident on his paling face, but so help him he was going to play dumb.
“I-I’m sorry, do I know you?” Of course he did.
The only thing worse than this awkward encounter was his denial of ever having met her. Pia didn’t quite understand why, but being forgotten so easily.. it upset her to greater degree than him regretting the kiss ever would.
“Uh.. you’re kidding, right?”
“You don’t remember me at all? You know, from Max’s party?” She wasn’t going to spell it out for him just yet. Y’know, just in case she didn’t have to.
Though the idea of facing the man she’d kissed initially made her incredibly nervous, now she wanted nothing more than to own it and have him admit that he’d lied about forgetting, too.
[♫] —- Max is not at all surprised at the way she seems to deflate, but doesn’t expect her to lean on him in such a way. With an apologetic frown, he pats her shoulder, his voice seeping with guilt.
“No, I’m sorry. I should have been more tactful, more… considerate of your feelings.” His hand remained on her shoulder as an offer of support, his grip tightening in a brief, reassuring squeeze before he removes it and allows her room to stand on her own.
Fish was a favorite of his– it always has been. He couldn’t just… stop eating one of his favorite foods all of a sudden, but he couldn’t be inconsiderate towards Pia or her friends, either. If mermaids existed, then it wouldn’t be too far-fetched for fish to have a higher level sentience and lives of their own. Lives so cruelly and callously taken away by people like him…
“…I promise I won’t. Or to make an effort not to, at least.” He smiles. “I won’t be eating them for dinner tonight, at the very least. Perhaps you have some recommendations as to what I could cook instead?”
Despite being someone Pia was undoubtedly fond of, Max wouldn’t get off the hook (heh) that easily! Sniffling softly, she’d rub her face for want of a tissue with the hem of her capulet.
“Only if you promise never to eat fish around me.. okay?”
She couldn’t imagine, nor did she particularly want to, the sight of him eating her scaly friends. Pia didn’t think herself as too inconsiderate; weren’t there plenty of humans that didn’t eat any meat at all? Thankfully, there were lots of alternatives to fish that she could prepare!
“Fresh.. something fresh..” Being that they were still at the market, it’d be foolish not to take advantage of such an opportunity. There was, of course, one very particular dish that Pia had on her mind.
“Let’s make calamari!” she declared with no shortage of enthusiasm before drawing back a bit, “I mean.. if you like squid..”
[♫] —- “Hm?” Max blinks. “Is that so… I can’t say that I agree, but I suppose it would make sense for you to think that way. I’m sure you, as a mermaid, would be fascinated by humans, while I don’t consider them anything too special. At least compared to you.” He winks at her, a gesture that often came normally to him when speaking to others– especially cute girls such as herself.
But before he could say or think anything else, Pia falls from the broom just as he expected, and he is unable to stop her fall before she ends up hitting the ground. Rather painfully, from the looks of it. In fact, her impact with the ground had been so hard that even he winced.
“Pia!” He calls out in alarm, kneeling down and wrapping his arm around her shoulders to pull her up into a sitting position. Max had known that something like this was going to happen, but he refrains from saying as such and instead says, “Are you alright? You didn’t hurt yourself too badly, I hope?”
Nursing her wounds, the mermaid had some time to think of what he said. Max.. thought she was special? Well, would could deduce that without him having said it.. but at the same time, hearing those words made her happy in a way she couldn’t explain.
And then there’s the wink. The mermaid would have turned fifty shades brighter were it possible. She felt suddenly inclined to crawl in a hole.. no, a chasm in the deepest depths of the ocean if it meant never showing her face again.
“Oh, boss! I’m so embarrassed!" she cried, voice muffled by her hands,
“You.. you really think I’m special?”
Marla giggled as her friend spun around, shocked by her sudden appearance. She had been there a while, but the longing stare of the other mermaid must have distracted her from the movement nearby.
“It’s good to see you too Pia!” Marla smiled swimming closer, using a finger to poke the other mermaid’s cheek. “I swear you are always hungry!” Chuckling, Marla nodded, “I could eat for sure~” The blonde always found it fascinating the way her friend’s tail could spilt in two and give her the ability to walk on land like the humans. She wondered why she couldn’t do that, and was jealous of all the people Pia could meet that way. But she didn’t hold it against her friend at all, this was just the coral they were dealt.
“I haven’t eaten squid since… well I saw you last! It really is your favourite!“
Pia puffed her cheeks out as Marla poked her, looking not unlike a pufferfish!
“What’s wrong with being hungry?”
“And yeah, squids the best! Let me go get some for us, but first I need to get dry!” waving Marla towards the shore, Pia began swimming towards the boardwalk so that she would be able to beach herself outside of the sight of humans. That, and Marla would have a place to swim, too!
Come to think of it, if Marla wasn’t eating squid and couldn’t leave the ocean to go grab a bite to eat..
“If you don’t usually eat squid, then what do you eat?”
This is one of the many things I love about Rune Factory 3. They aren’t afraid to sneak in the adult jokes.

[♫] —- Once again, Max found himself arriving at work a bit later than he intended, and it was beginning to become an uncomfortably common trend. With all of the festivities transpiring on Leuda lately (his own party being one of them), the hotel had seen a rapid increase in business, as well as the cafe. Of course, this meant that his own workload had also been affected by it, and the heir found himself much more busier these days.
He walks through the doors of the bathhouse, one hand holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee and the other stifling a yawn borne from his lack of sleep the previous night. Another day of work awaited him, and here was, running completely on Empty. Sigh…
Thankfully, his first sight upon entering the building was Pia, working as diligently as always. The young mermaid always succeeded in lifting his spirits, even when she didn’t intend to, and Max was glad to see that she seemed to be the same as always.
…Or not?
Quirking a brow, Max watches her stiff, emotionless movements, and notes the acute lack of her usual pep that always managed to brighten the place. Concerned by this change in demeanor, Max approaches her, his brow furrowed.
“…Pia? Are you feeling alright?”
This encounter, she supposed, was unavoidable. Shooting him the quickest of glances as his undoubtedly concerned voice reached her ears, Pia felt her cheeks grow hot under his scrutiny. It was so like Max to notice right away when something was wrong, and that was just one of the reasons she felt drawn to him.
“O-h, yeah,” she stammered at last,
“I think I caught something..” A nervous laugh served only to detract from this statement, and it was evident Pia wasn’t even invested in it herself.
Anything to get him away from her at this point would do, as she wasn’t in any mood to embarrass herself, especially not in front of him. The mermaid wasn’t even entirely sure yet as to why she was upset about what she’d heard, though she knew there was no respectable way to explain it to him, either.

Kelsey was shielding the remaining shells he clutched with his own body as the boys advanced on him. But out of nowhere, Pia appeared and walked right up to Charlie, the big one. He watched Charlie frown at the woman in confusion, trying to figure out her metaphor before he slowly turned away. Chris and Bailey followed him closely.
Kelsey sniffed, lip trembling in fright and hands clutching his shells protectively.
“I’m s-sorry! I’m s-sorry you h-had to stop them! T-They’re mean and won’t l-leave me alone…” Kelsey sniffled again, racing over to his smashed shell collection, placing down the intact ones to pick up the small shards. It was hard admitting you couldn’t protect yourself.
“I’m s-sorry they b-broke my s-shells…”
Thankfully, it didn’t take much work on her part to make the bullies back off.. for now, at the very least. Kneeling to Kelsey’s level, Pia felt her own heart ache at such a sorry sight. Raising a gentle, tentative hand to pat him on the back, her anger slowly melted in to lamentation. Why hadn’t she been able to foresee such a tragedy? Perhaps she should have taken Kelsey more seriously when he mentioned being terrorized by such lowly children..
“I’m sorry I wasn’t here to stop them, Kelsey..” sifting through what remained of his shells, Pia became all too aware of the absence of his crown piece.
“Wait a second.. what happened to the gold and white one?”
