Summary: When Maia loses the necklace that gives her legs and allows her to be on land, it's not her, but a pirate who finds it. Maia quickly comes up with a plan to get it back. She hadn't figured Isabelle Lightwood into those plans, though, and Maia takes a little longer to execute her plan than she has to. What's the harm in that?
Maia watches the human in fascination. She’s a good swimmer, knows how to take advantage of the currents to get where she wants to go; not as good as a real ocean dweller, but pretty close. Humans aren’t made for underwater life, mostly because they need air and heat, and neither are easily accessible in the ocean. Which begs the question of why? Why is this human diving into the ocean in the middle of winter? For fun?
