“My names peridot…” She smiled happily. Her birthday just happened to be in August and her parents like the name of her birth stone
“nice name.” she quietly lets Peridot go while they converse.
Peridot didnt seem to notice she let go as she continued to swim around in the water. "Thanks.."
So mun stutters sometimes
And @jasperbuffcheetopuff is making it worse because my "accent" mixed with this problem i have where i stutter is causing compliments of being cute and its making me stutter worse. So ive reverted to covering my mouth when i notice myself stuttering

Peridot quietly started to move her legs in the water along with her arms. She seemed to be a bit panicked as the other moved her around, but she eventually got the feel of swimming before looking at the mermaid. “I..i think i can do it…”
she swapped hands under Peridot’s torso, using the now freed one to feel along Peridot’s arm.
“Now, for paddling, you’ll probably have to keep scooping to make up for the lack of fins… maybe alternate your arms in a pattern? i’ve still got you by the torso, don’t worry about holding your breath.”
Peridot nodded and made arm strokes, having a bit of fun with this whole thing. “I don’t think told me your name yet…”
“Lapis Lazuli. i’m blue, and i’ve these gold freckles at night, like the gemstone. and you?”
"My names peridot..." She smiled happily. Her birthday just happened to be in August and her parents like the name of her birth stone

“Have you ever fought off a shark?”
Peridot looked at the other with a raised eyebrow, “i give you three questions and you decide to use one of them like this..?” She sighed softly, “yes Ive fought a shark..”
The woman shrugged. “Well I mean for your stature, doesn’t really look like you can actually fight a shark.” She answered back.
“Ive only had to do it once.. Sharks kind of stay away from us once we grow bigger.. or if theyre desperate..” she flipped her tail a bit. “Okay last two questions… dont make them stupid…”
“How do you mermaids reproduce? Like how any other fish does?” She asked the other, just being quite intrigued.
Peridot blushed and made a surpised noise, “w…well uh..” she looked away a bit, “y..you could say that…”
“Oh really? So it’s not like us humans then?” She asked her with a small smile on her face.
“I mean.. we have ways to do it like that if we really wanted to… but..” she got more flustered. “Thats enough questioning about that…”
The woman blinked. “What? Wait, I didn’t even say my third question!” She said, huffing.
"Okay fine whats your third question..."
“Have you ever fought off a shark?”

Peridot bit her lip before walking into the water. She wasnt to sure she wanted do do this, but despite her thoughts she got in the water and did what she was tole.
“when a baby is born, land or sea, they are very used to water. they float along and just wiggle, like this.”
she wiggles Peridot, twitchy and uncoordinated.
“land babies can have their heads under too somehow…but how we teach our babies to actually move through the water is a lot like this. we hold them by the torso, and move their tail the right way and move them forward, so they get used to it.”
her arm under Peridot’s legs moves them gently in the water, her tail scooting her own self along the shallows.
“and, eventually the baby starts moving on their own, and all the adult does is keep them level for a bit, then lets them go. i won’t let you go, obviously, until you say, and i won’t go out further. so, go ahead. Learn the feeling of swimming.”
Peridot quietly started to move her legs in the water along with her arms. She seemed to be a bit panicked as the other moved her around, but she eventually got the feel of swimming before looking at the mermaid. "I..i think i can do it..."

Peridot laughed a bit. “Some of us do. Especially male humans that are rude..” She took notice of the markings, they were pretty. “Yes.. im scared of swimming..”
“how so?” the fluke of her tail dragged in the water
“I got thrown in by jerks when i was young and i almost drowned…”
Lapis went quiet before sliding off the dock.
“that’s shit. come on, follow me to the shallows. i’ll show you like we show new little ones.”
“Fine..” Peridot stood up and walked over to the beach area bo one seemed to be at.
she swam in and held out her arms.
“lay down here, on your front. arms and legs straight out.”
Peridot bit her lip before walking into the water. She wasnt to sure she wanted do do this, but despite her thoughts she got in the water and did what she was tole.
Lappy as a mermaid and Peridot as her witchy lover?
<3

“Well i mean like.. Any part of the ocean without having to strap air tanks on and wear fancy gear…” she leaned back on the dock. “Not that.. i do any of that.. I cant really swim…”
“if you were meant to swim for such depths and lengths, you’d have fins gills and a tail.”
she reaches over and grabs Peridot’s foot by a toe.
“Instead, you have these.”
Peridot jumped a bit and pulled her foot away. “W.. well.. Some of us are able to swim in the water and like keep our heads up so we can breathe.. and theres some stuff we can put on our bodies to let us travel deeper..” she sighed softly. “But for someone like me.. we can just dip our feet in or not go very deep because we werent taught how to swim..”
“taught? what a load of nonsense. i know how you land dwellers create new life, just as whales and such.” her fins flicked.
“you don’t need to be taught, you need to be reminded.” she explained with a flourish of her hand.
“I’d pull you in right now and demonstrate but you’d scream, and believe it or not you land dwellers can get right in our heads yourselves.”
Peridot pulled her feet out of the water and pulled her knees to her chest with a frown. “I told you… I dont scream… and maybe thats how you see it.. but Ill drown..” she looked away sadly
“i’m right here and i’d be proving the words i had spoke; you would not drown.”
her tail waved out of the water, illustratively.
“you would float, and you would keep your head above water, and you’d do just fine.”
Peridot looked down at the water. “Maybe if i was a fancy mermaid i wouldnt be so scared to swim.. but im not…” she muttered and looked at the other, “i guess i can try to float but.. I dont know..”
“scared to swim, huh?” she puts her hands on the dock, using the tide to give her a boost and heaves herself up, next to Peridot. Peridot could see a…not a tattoo, more like a carving filled with golden sand, in her back, of a teardrop shape flanked by waves that almost resemble wings, along with smaller designs inside the drop.
“Now look. i hauled all of myself up here, just like that… and this!”
she sat herself upright, and flexed her arms,
“this is how land dwellers show ability, right?”
Peridot laughed a bit. "Some of us do. Especially male humans that are rude.." She took notice of the markings, they were pretty. "Yes.. im scared of swimming.."
