Gonna hang out on Jim for a while so like this for a starter.

It was difficult for her to take his answer and not help him with at least a bandaid but she didn’t have much option. So she let it go, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. The comment caught her off guard and she scoffed.
“Are you SERIOUS?! You sound like my father!”
She was not oblvious to the way he looked at her skirt and then her legs. It was short, sure, but it covered everything that it needed to and that’s what mattered.
“I can bend over and not show off my ASS, it’s not hard.” She grumbled and, to prove her point, she knelt down to touch the grass and straightened back up.
“It’s ’cause it’s TRUE.”
No matter what he said, she was sure to prove him wrong. That was more than clear by the irritated tone of her voice. Doing just that, proving her point, the fiery haired girl bent off and Jim couldn’t help his wandering eyes as they moved to her behind, that tiny smirk still on his lips. Brown eyes flickered back to her when they came face to face once more, though his head was still slightly tipped to the side, a bad ogling habit he’d picked up.
“Take it from a professional male, it DOESN’T matter.”
tritonsdownfall:
“You DEFINITELY were but you’re forgiven.”
She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth, inspecting her knees for himself as well. It would have been easy to fix with a bandage if he let her. Then again, she couldn’t force him to let her.
“Are you sure?”
She hated to see someone hurt, even if he had been a jerk and hurt her to begin with. At his words, she narrowed her eyes, looking down at her skirt and back to him.
“What’s WRONG with my skirt? I’m quite skilled and picking things up, the skirt has nothing to do with it.
“I’m POSITIVE.”
Injuries were never a big worry for him, they were always a minor problem, one for a later time. Her reaction caused him to laugh a small laugh, one corner of his lips pulling up.
“It’s short. I wouldn’t recommend bending over, not around here.”
His eyes flickered down her legs, following the hem of the skirt. He couldn’t lie and say he wouldn’t have ENCOURAGED her to bend over any other time, but not now.
tritonsdownfall:
She was more than happy to hand the tools over once he had said please. With her hands empty, she rested them back in the water and watching him curiously, wanting to watch what he was going to do. “Are they enough” She asked.
Looking over the tools in his hands, he was skeptical if he COULD fix it, but he would surely try. Without it, he was stuck and even so, he would want the solar surfer because it was something he did when he wanted to get out and relax or de-stress.
“They should be, thanks.”
Glancing over his shoulder, he looked at the shore, knowing the surfer had crashed into a rock there. He was still out in the water, though, and he wasn’t a very good swimmer, having not had much experience with water. Montressor wasn’t known for its lakes.

“Did you WANT anything else, or can I clear your table?”
tritonsdownfall:
“You did so sarcastically so it didn’t count. And it’s fine now. Thank you for apologising. And getting my papers.”
Her thanks was heartfelt because the last thing she wanted to do was not hand in her homework. Not only would her teachers get angry but her father would as well. Sometimes there were better things to do than homework. Like being outside or adventures. She carefully piled all her papers together in a neater bunch before placing them in her discarded backpack. One quick look at his knees and she shot him a skeptical look.
“Are you SURE? That one’s bleeding quite a bit.”
“It WASN’T... Okay, I guess it was.”
His gaze followed hers, taking in the damage. There were smears of red but nothing terribly bad. It would clot soon enough and he’d only have to wipe it away His mother was sure to notice whether he bandaged it or not.
“I’ll be fine, coulda been worse.”
Jim had gone home with far worse injuries than a bleeding knee. It would take nothing short of a broken limb to stop him.
“If you see any more papers I missed flying around, let me know. SKIRTS aren’t the best choice for picking up papers.”
tritonsdownfall:
“PLEASE, and here.”
You were meant to say please before you say thank you but the boy didn’t seem to have many manners. She wasn’t sure if the tools were what he needed but she had seen sailors use them.
“Please.” He echoed, still trying to stay on her good side, if possible. The tools she handed to him were... strange, rusted and not exactly what he was hoping for, but it was better than nothing.

It was a sudden change from ignoring her completely to being kind and collecting her sheets. She smiled, looking down at his board before looking up to meet his eyes again. It was almost sweet of him, a drastic change from his snarky attitude.
“Maybe I just wanted an apology because it’s POLITE, especially when someone knocks you to the ground when you’re minding your own business.”
She carefully took the papers out of his arms, organising them into a neat pile in her own arms. Now that he had done something kind for her, she was happy to return the favour.
“Do you want some? I carry them around?”
“I DID apologize but... sorry. I shoulda been looking.”
His mother would had punished him until he was a hundred if she saw how he was acting. There were many things she gave up punishing him for, but not for being rude. With the papers taken from him, he picked up his board again, tucking it under his arm and shoving his hands into his pockets.
“Nah, I’m fine. It’s just a scrap.”
tritonsdownfall:
She was quick to give up on her homework as it was blown away by the wind. The entire day had become an unmitigated disaster. Already she was late home, her homework was gone AND she was bleeding. Her father was going to kill her. Or at least get angry at her and, in turn she wanted to take it out on the bane of all her problems.
“Oh YOU…!”
With a huff, she decided that there was no point in cussing him out, the boy wouldn’t listen anyway. Once he showed actual concern, her anger lessened considerably. Her arms crossed over her chest and she shrugged, trying to see nonchalant.
“No, I’ll be okay. YOURS looks worse than mine. Do you have any band aids?”
As he came back around her, he saw the paper scattered around the sidewalk, some blown down to the corner and others across the street. Placing the board on the sidewalk sideways beside her so it wouldn’t roll away, Jim jumped into acting, running across the cement retrieving the papers.
“You just yelled at me for getting you hurts, and now it’s 'OKAY’?”
Papers collected awkwardly in his arms, he walked back to her. He’d attempted to sort them but he was more likely to drop them if he tried any more.
“I don’t carry band aids around with me, no.”
tritonsdownfall:
“Do you want your TOOLS or would you rather keep trying to tell me I’m wrong?”
She huffed, running her fingers through her hair. It worked just fine as a brush but if he wanted to keep arguing with her she didn’t know why she should help him.
As much as he wanted to explain how wrong she was, he’d much rather get to work on his solar surfer.
“I’d like the tools, thanks.”
tritonsdownfall:
“NO! It’s a dinglehopper!! Scuttle told me so!”
Maybe that fall had knocked something loose in his head because he didn’t seem to understand anything. The concept wasn’t hard, it had prongs just like a comb did and it made her hair smooth.
“I think Scuttle’s as CONFUSED as you are.”
He really shouldn’t be arguing with a siren, especially when she can outswim him if he tried to bolt for shore. She didn’t seem that dangerous, though.
tritonsdownfall:
It took some effort to get to her feet, wiping down her knees and hands, cringing at the sting from the scrapes that the boy had caused. And he was STILL very rude.
“I don’t feel like reciting the multiplication tables.” She grumbled, glaring at his back. He was just some boy at a skate park who did not deserve her attention and yet, she wanted to wait and get her apology. Especially since her homework was half way across the park and her knees were scraped and bleeding.
“It’s FINE.”
She huffed but it clearly wasn’t fine at all. The skateboard was more important that a persons well being and that just wasn’t right.
“Are you seriously more concerned by that stupid board? I’m bleeding because of you!”
There are two ways for things to go, a person could get angry and walk away, OR they could stay around to yell at him. Jim always preferred when people walked away, he got enough yelling, or at least angry talking, from his mother. He was a screw up, he knew that, why couldn’t people just NOT waste their time trying to remind him of that fact.
“Then go to a doctor!” He barked back.
With a heavy sigh, he tucked the board under his arm and carefully moved back towards her. Most people didn’t hit him, but he wouldn’t put it past her. He could see her knees were scrapped up and immediately started to feel bad.
“Is it bad?”
tritonsdownfall:
The pain in her knees subsided slightly. There was an obscene boy on the sidewalk beside her, cursing. Not only was he rude enough to knock her to the ground and not even bother to apologise for it, he hadn’t bothered to acknowledge her all. She, huffed, scrambling to get her loose homework papers as they began to fly away before speaking up.
“You’re incredibly RUDE, you know.”
With a groan, he pushed himself up off the cement, arms scrapped and stinging.
“Tell me something I DON’T know.” He grumbled, brushing off his arms and elbows as he got to his feet. His board was probably broken if not thrashed, he wasn’t in the mod for some prissy school girl to yell at him.
“Sorry for running into you, okay?”
It was all Jim was going to say on the matter, immediately walking past her to pick up the skateboard and check it for damage.
The quick change of conversation distracted her from the sudden change in attitude. Confusion quickly clouded her features.
“A fork? It’s not a fork, it’s a dinglehopper! You use it to comb your hair.”
To demonstrate, she combed the fork through her long red hair, pushing her wet hair back. It was a dinglehopper, not a fork. Scuttle wouldn’t lie to her.
“No, THAT’S a fork. You use it to pick up food from a your plate and eat it.”
It was incredibly strange to watch someone comb their hair with a fork, of all things. Maybe mermaids just ate seaweed by picking it and eating it or some other strange habit he didn’t want to know about.

“Oh my GOODNESS!”
Without warning, she fell to her knees after someone had knocked her over. Books and pens went flying in the air as pain shot up her legs.
“Ouch!”
Having a board again felt like freedom and all he’d done for the last hour was skate around. Apparently the time without one had caused him to forget to watch where he was going, rolling backward on the board until he crashed into someone falling forward off the piece of wood and sending it flying in another direction.
“FUCK!”
