Welp. Looks like you're my partner for this. [He shrugs, though glad to be with someone he actually knows as opposed to a complete stranger] I haven't actually danced since my high school prom. Let's see if I can still remember how this works.
[Sabrina jumps slightly at the appearance of Vaughn] Oh um, yes it seems we are partners. [She was somewhat glad that she was dancing with someone she knew. She slipped her arm into his arm.] I haven't danced in a while either.
Un-goddessly || Open to multiple!
Sabrina milled around the festival, nibbling on a little bit of food she got herself. Sabrina didn't really appear like many of the girls she saw today. They looked a lot better than her. Sabrina drew circles with her foot on the ground, just watching the crowd. She set aside the snack food in favor of simply staring off at the people. They seemed to be having so much fun.
A number of people had dates. Sabrina wasn't one of those people who had one. So she chose to watch those who were dancing already. They seemed to be having so much fun.
She closed her eyes and inhaled through her nose, unaware of the person approaching her.
This is what Sabrina is wearing~!
But she's wearing these socks too.
A Quiet Encounter || Marla & Sabrina
"Hours ago?" Marla watched the small girl with a bit of sadness. Well, her eyes usually reflected a calm sadness, but they seemed to almost mimic the stranger’s dejection now, as if she were reading her emotions. "… I see."
A mother that wouldn’t see her daughter… What kind of mother was that? An awful one! Marla would have voiced her argument, had the subject not changed.
"… She knows how to stop a shark attack, but she doesn’t know what a hug is." It was almost hilarious how different the two were. Based solely on their knowledge, they were two complete opposites. Still, when she mentioned dresses, Marla smiled softly. "I’m glad she’s making human friends."
Marla touched the skirt of the girl’s dress, feeling the fabric softly. “Do all of your dresses have fabric this nice? The last dress I owned was made of cotton and was terribly itchy. Not to mention, the colors were dull and faded… Your dress is fit for a princess in comparison.”
Marla smiled, thinking back to the dress she had owned when she was human. It was… Red, wasn’t it? Or purple, maybe? Ah, she couldn’t remember anymore. But the feeling of that terribly material was memorable, indeed. “What’s your name, miss?”
"She knows how to stop a shark attack?" Sabrina sat on that one for a moment. Impressive. Though Sabrina would guess that Leia didn't have much interaction with humans. Though this mermaid certainly seemed to know what humans were like. She noticed her touch the fabric of her dress.
"Well, I have some dresses that are far nicer than this and are very comfortable as well. Made of satin or silk. But... I rather like this one. Cotton is a very comfortable fabric."
"My name is Sabrina, it's nice to meet you."
Meeting two mermaids. More than she could have ever imagined meeting in her life. The slightly childish part of her was so excited to meet someone she didn't know even really existed.
Extortion is Fun [Marian and Sabrina]
*grins* No? You don’t? What else have you got to pay with? I’ll take your clothes, if you don’t need them~
[Her cheeks flush] But I need my clothes! What would you do with them? [Sabrina wondered if she was going to be held hostage. Oh goddess how would she get in contact with her father from here?] I-I didn't know that it would cost so much to fix a simple bite...
A Friendly Bark [Micah and Sabrina]
"No, no. The villagers show up in my house all the time, you’d hardly be the first."
When Din was mentioned, he barked cheerfully, his tail beginning to wag. “Oh, don’t worry. If Din wasn’t friendly, he wouldn’t be here.” Micah rubbed his head, and he nuzzled into him. “Din, go say hello.”
On cue, Din approached the woman curiously, his tongue lolling.
"Ah. I... just wouldn't feel right going into someone else's home uninvited." The wolf barked and his tail wagged. Okay. He was friendly. The wolf was friendly.
She stiffened though when it approached her. Her hand timidly reached out to the wolf, Din. The tips of her fingers barely made contact with the wolf's head before she retracted her hand quickly.
A Quiet Encounter || Marla & Sabrina
"Your mother?" The idea that this girl’s mother might be lost at sea on a boat worried Marla greatly. Or perhaps it was the thought that she was even on a boat at all. Marla didn’t dislike boats, but they definitely unnerved her. “I hope she’s alright…”
That concern in the older merperson’s voice was prevalent, even though her face was unseen. As the stranger mentioned another mermaid, however, Marla was quick to pull herself out of the water and towards the girl, leaning against the dock with such a keen interest in her eyes. Despite no smile crossing her face, her curiosity was quite obvious, “You know Leia?”
"Ah... yes. I'm sure she's fine, but she was supposed to be here hours ago. I'm just worried that she didn't come at all..." Sabrina sighed sadly. That might have been the case, because it happened before. Her mother and father were alright with each other but things were... tense. She sighed softly. But Sabrina saw the head pop up out of the water and swim over to the dock.
"Yes I do actually." She walked over and decided to sit near her, "I like her. I showed her what a hug was and she pulled me into the water. And... if you see her, tell her I got a dress for her. A few of them. I promised to get her one."
A Quiet Encounter || Marla & Sabrina
Pale blue eyes watched the girl from quite a distance, waiting for her to leave the sandy beach. All she wanted to do was look around, and this girl wouldn’t leave! With a deep sigh, the mermaid wondered if the ebony haired girl might be troubled. Swimming a bit closer, she frowned, the distance still causing her to strain her eyes. Before she knew it, she was beside the dock, watching from beneath the water.
"Are you alright?" She knew showing herself to every human she saw wasn’t the safest thing, but she couldn’t help herself, and popped her head out of the water to meet the girl’s eyes. Perhaps secretly, she desired human connections. Although even she wasn’t sure how true that statement was. "You’ve been here a while."
She anxiously stood on the dock, looking around for any sign of the boat. She was supposed to come here today, and she was hours late! Sabrina wished that she had brought something with her to keep herself busy, but all she could really do was pace the dock and wring her skirt.
Sabrina jumped at the sound of another voice and she looked around. She couldn't see anyone, but then they spoke again and Sabrina realized it was coming from the water, "Ah! I'm just... waiting for my mother's boat to arrive. She was supposed to be here a while ago..." She gave an awkward smile to the woman in the water, when it occurred to her that she was talking to a woman who was in the water.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing down there?" Beat, "Are you another mermaid?"
[Sabrina/Jamie]
Jamie watched her feet move and shook her head. “Move with the push,” she said. “Plant yourself.” She waited for Sabrina to get back into position. “Then…” She did it more slowly to show what she wanted. She put her hand against Sabrina’s shoulder and pushed, turning her upper body with the push.
Sabrina nodded slowly and got back into position, rather appreciative for them showing her slowly this time. And Sabrina actually did it this time. She restrained herself from showing pride over it, because she would likely fail at doing this at a faster speed. But she had her little victory and that was a step forward.
[I don't know who all I owe, but I'd really like to get more rps for Sabrina vuv lemme know if you want a Sabrina~]
[Sabrina/Jamie]
Jamie did not even plant her feet yet, when Sabrina pushed her—tried to push her. She looked down at the woman and crossed her arms. “What was that?” she asked. “I told you to push me.” She refused to believe anyone could be this weak. “I had not even planted myself yet—even a child could make me move.”
She decided a demonstration on Sabrina herself would serve as a better lesson. “Plant yourself; keep yourself exactly where you stand.” Once she saw that Sabrina had done as she asked, she walked close to her and put a hand on her shoulder, suddenly extending her arm to shove Sabrina away.
Sabrina was sincerely considering walking away and hiding under a rock for a good few weeks. Maybe a year for good measure. And if she had to guess, her embarrassment was as obvious as the glasses she wore. 'That was pathetic Sabrina! You know you could probably throw them if you wanted to, and this is how you are! PATHETIC' She mentally berated herself as she put herself into a stance.
She braced a bit as their hand hit her shoulder. And surprisingly enough, she only faltered slightly. Well slightly meaning needing to take a half step back, but other than that she was good.
miistel replied to your post:
(Ay lil mama lemme whisper in yo earrrrrr)
[Approaching the young woman with a polite smile he extends his hand in greeting.] I apologize for being so forward, miss- but you are very lovely. [As he passes him her hand he kisses it softly before turning to leave, very embarrassed but not showing it externally.]
Oh, why hello. [She blushed a bit when he complimented her. And shortly she turned darker as he placed a kiss on her hand and leaving. She stood there a minute. Just trying to understand what in the world just happened and wondering if it really happened at all.]
Hlasta! || [Tabatha&Sabrina.]
Thank you for your time. [Curtseys.] My name is Tabatha, and I hail from the land of Sephia. [Straightens her posture.] What is your name?
Oh, why hello miss Tabatha. My name is Sabrina. [She quickly returns the gesture by curtsying to her.] What is it you need to do?
Cute? [Wrinkles her nose, making a face] Hardly~ Merfolk are pretty to look at from a Human’s point of view, I suppose, but calling us— or even our language “cute?” You’re treading into dangerous waters, so to speak … Hee, hee~!
Hm … [Taps her chin in thought before snapping her fingers, nodding] Do you know where I can get a dress? I’ve always wanted to wear one of them!
Okay I won't call it cute anymore. [She paused when Leia talked about wanting a dress.] Oh you can get them at just about any clothing store, but they aren't very good for swimming in. They would cause a drag and make you go slower. But, uh, I can get one for you sometime. If you want.
[Sabrina/Jamie]
Jamie leaned against a wall as she waited for Sabrina to return. When the woman did, she looked up and shook her head,
"You took long enough," she answered. "Come, we will go to a place better suited for this." She brought Sabrina down to the beach, where the Sand would throw off their balance. "If you can keep your balance on a loose surface, you can keep it anywhere." She lowered her arms. "Try to push me from this spot."
Sabrina followed them to the beach and stared at them when they told her to push them. She assumed they meant to push normally so she placed her hands on their shoulders and shoved as hard as she could.
And of course, they didn't go anywhere.
She kept pushing and it was like trying to move a wall. She sighed and stopped.
[Chuckles into her hand, shaking her head] I’ll never tell~! Hm? Sorta! It sounds like, um, I forget exactly you Humans call them— they’re gray and do flips and are general show-offs but are super nice too! Delphoons? We sound like them! Wow, you have a lot of questions! I’ll answer them all in due time, but first you have to answer some of my questions~ Deal?
[She was a little disappointed that she wouldn't hear Leia's actual title, but she was a little thankful because she would never be able to say it apparently.] You sound like dolphins? That's really cute actually. And sure, I'll answer any question you want! [She was a little too eager about this. Just her being able to speak with a creature she didn't even think existed was making her day all the better.]
