Making It Up To Misty [Nibs & Misty & Dylan]

[Nibs]
Nibs had spent the night fixing the wall and ended up passing out in the hallway after finishing up in the early morning.
[Misty]
Misty was walking through the halls to get breakfast when she saw Nibs passed out by the wall. She smiled softly as she just shook her head and told the guards to take Nibs to their room to sleep in an actual bed.
[Nibs]
Nibs had slept soundly for most of the day and woke up in the late afternoon. He was confused to how he was able to be in bed since he didn’t remember falling asleep there. Getting out of bed, he stretched before showering and throwing a towel loosely around his waist once he finished.
[Misty]
She stopped by the room to grab something and looked to see Nibs. “Good to see your awake.” She said grabbing the item before heading for the door.
[Nibs]
“Wait what? Where are you going? Is there anything to eat? I am rather hungry after all that work last night.” He explains before following her to the door.
[Misty]
“Yeah in the kitchen.” She nods. “I’ll see you later.” She said opening the door to leave.
[Nibs]
“Oh okay then.” He responds before heading to the kitchen in just his towel since he was very hungry and didn’t really think many people would notice.
[Misty]
Misty didn’t even care when Nibs left wearing his towel if anything it just made her more annoyed and angry at him as she left to go to her office.
[Dylan]
The male had not seen Jack in a while and he was starting to figure that he was being lied to or maybe he was forgotten again. Dylan had thought that he didn’t like Nibs’ family but he would never go as far as hurting their children. He didn’t know why he felt guilty normally that wasn’t something he would feel. He was waiting in the office for Misty to walk in so he could talk to her.
[Misty]
She walked into her office and jumped when she saw Dylan. “Jesus sorry I didn’t know you were in here.” She said before looking at him. “If you are here to mess with me please leave. I’ve had enough and I think Jack knows he’s won, so you can tell him that.” She explained sitting in her chair.
[Dylan]
“I am not here to mess with you, I have come to ask if you want Nibs memories back.” He explains before pulling the orb out from behind him and showing her so she could see it.
[Misty]
She looked at the orb and bit her lip as she nodded. “So you took his memories. Thanks Dylan. Really appreciate it.” She said sarcastically before grabbing papers. “Give them back to him and leave. You probably need to go check on Jack or something.”
[Dylan]
“Look I didn’t know that was what Jack was planning on doing when he came back. I never would have brought him back if I knew he was going to do that. He went to far and even I am admitting that. I know it probably doesn’t mean anything to you but I am sorry about what happened to them.” He responds before opening the ball and releasing Nibs’ memories as they made their way out of the room and to where NIbs was.
[Misty]
“I’m not blaming you...I just...I don’t know what I did to deserve this from you. We were friends. I really liked you and every time I forgive you you do something else that hurts me. What did I do to you? You knew bringing back Jack would affect me and you did it anyway. And here you are yet again apologizing and I know you will do something that hurts me again.”
[Dylan]
“I just wanted to have someone who didn’t treat my like I was invisible. I left Sam and he didn’t really put up much of a fight. Zephyr understood me and what I was going through, but then he left me. Jack understood me, gave me attention, he kept his promises but right now, I don’t think he has any intention to keep them I...it’s not anything personal against you, honest it is isn’t. I feel so empty all the time, I wanted to feel something.” He responds while looking down in embarrassment.
[Misty]
“I understand. I do...I don’t know what I would do if Nibs just stopped caring. But you aren’t alone. I still consider you my friend and when you aren’t an asshole I like being around you. So stop being a dick and you can get attention from me.” She gave him a smile.
[Dylan]
“Yeah, but you have Nibs and he isn’t too fond of me for certain reasons. You have your family to focus on Misty, that’s why I gave the memories back. You should be able to move on and do what you need to do without me or Jack getting in the way. There is no way that I can stop him from what he is doing or what he is planning because I honestly don’t know what he is thinking.” He responds.
[Misty]
“Thank you but my husband seems to be acting like a child at the moment so lucky for you I am completely free. So I have plenty of time for you.” She smiled.
[Dylan]
“Oh...well I don’t really know where to go from here. I came here with the intention to apologize and then I was going to go home to my cave.”
[Misty]
Misty thought it over before standing up. “Tell you what, I need you to do something for me. See Nibs is in big trouble and I am enjoying punishing him so how about this. Today you are going to stay here and enjoy a day with me. Yes I am using you to make Nibs jealous because it’s been a long time since Nibs has been and I enjoy it, but I also really miss you so this way you and I can hang out. So what do you say? Want to hang out and make Nibs jealous?”
[Dylan]
Hearing her offer, Dylan nods his head, “Okay I can do that. It shouldn't be that hard.” He smiles at her words before thinking about what they would do. “So then what is the first step in making him jealous?”
[Misty]
Misty smiled as he took his hand, “I think being touchy. Me and Nibs are very touchy people and it’s only fair that I be touchy with you.” She said. “What is something you have always wanted to do but not been able to?”
[Dylan]
“It has been so long I honestly don't know. I haven't thought about anything fun. I thought something fun would be swimming but I don't really think I am that great of a swimmer.”
[Misty]
“We can go swimming. I haven’t been swimming in forever and I miss seeing my tail so that sounds like fun.” She nods before leading him out of the office. “You need to lighten up Dylan. You are too cute to frown all the time.”
[Dylan]
“Oh I have yet to see a mermaid tail. I don't ever recall seeing anyone's before of people I know I mean. I know I saw Zephyr’s true form one time when we…” He stopped as he blushed. “Never mind. Yeah let's go swimming then.” Dylan smiles.
[Misty]
“You had sex with him in his true form? Wow that must have been a lot. I won’t even do that with Nibs but Zephyr must have really trusted you to do that.” She replied before nodding. “Yes let’s go.”
[Dylan]
“Well we...yeah...I thought he was beautiful. It was a lot but it was so good. I miss it. I miss him.” His eyes flashed void before returning to normal. “Yeah okay lead the way.”
[Misty]
“Wasn’t he after Sam though? I just...I don’t know it seems strange you stayed with someone you clearly don’t love for so long. If Zephyr was the one you wanted you should have left Sam...just save both of you from this heartbreak. Because yes Zephyr has to marry someone else but it seems like you stayed with Sam because you didn’t have any other options.”
[Dylan]
“He was after Sam. Why would I leave someone I am comfortable around for someone who was going to have to marry someone else and wasn’t planning on seeing me again? I wanted him but we weren’t meant to be. He is next in line to the throne and I am well….me. I am nothing compared to him so I was foolish to even think I had a chance. Everything was so different with him. I felt understood and truly seen. With Sam, it was never that way. I was constantly trying to prove that I was worth his time. It was always me fighting for him and he promised me he would do the same for me. When the opportunity arose where I needed him to help me through the addiction...he started to see Nibs. I fought for him even after all that and he didn’t seem to pay attention to what I did. Never asked about how the whole addiction was going. I feel like...he just settled for me when we first met. I don’t know how to explain it...I love Sam. I do but just...I don’t think he loves me anymore, he might say he does but he never really does anything to prove it. I have proved myself multiple times over and it's’ easier to just stay like this because he if hurt me again, I rather not feel it instead of go through that hell when he was with Nibs. Everything is easier with them off. People can’t disappoint you, they can’t hurt you. Your mind is at peace.”
[Misty]
“I don’t know about that. I mean Nibs has never turned off his emotions but I have and I saw how much pain I caused other people. Our reasons are different but that pain I was feeling, I never wanted to feel again and I thought it was better to just turn them off. And it was for a while, but then I realized the only person I was hurting was myself. You walk around void and you have caused me so much pain but truthfully I know my pain is nothing compared to yours.”
[Dylan]
“You sure about that? I know at one point they were off, or at least rumors said he lost control and couldn’t get it back. You released prisoners to get him to turn them back on, it was all over the kingdom Misty.” He responds with a shake of his head. “There is no way I can fully undo the hurt that I caused you nor is there any way that I could possibly make it up to you but I hope one day I can make it up to you. You are a sweet girl Misty, I wish I could have found someone like you maybe I wouldn’t be in this mess if I did.” He jokes lightly.
[Misty]
“Ah nothing gets passed this kingdom does it? But that’s not the truth, he was being poisoned so to not hurt people he turned them off. It wasn’t for a personal reason, it was to be the best king he could be.” She explained before smiling. “You don’t need to make anything up to me Dylan, but I would love for you to turn your emotions back on. That would mean a lot to me.”
[Dylan]
“Turn them back on? I can’t just flip a switch, Ombra took that away a long time ago. It doesn’t work like it does for sirens. The darkened heart, Ombra...it’s all mixed into me. I don’t even know what my personality used to be anymore. I don’t think I even have one now...I have tried to flip the switch long before but there is something blocking it and its preventing me from doing so.”
[Misty]
“Worth a try.” She smiled shrugging. Making it to the beach she pulled her dress over her head and dropped it on the sand before getting in the water.
[Dylan]
Dylan watched as Misty stripped off her clothes and noticed that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath as she got into the water. “Do you always go swimming naked?” He asks in confusion.
[Misty]
As soon as Misty got in the water her tail appeared and her hair was long enough to cover anything from being seen. “Why would I wear clothes when they disappear anyway?”
[Dylan]
Misty brought up a very good point as he got closer to the water and noticed that she had a tail too. “Did I forget to mention I don’t really know how to swim? I fell into the lagoon one time and Mark had to rescue me.”
[Misty]
“Hold onto my tail.” She said looking at him. “That way you won’t drown or anything.”
[Dylan]
“Won’t that hurt you though?” He asks as he stripped off his shirt and left his trunks on. “Like it is supposed to be slippery so you can glide through the water right?” He asks while getting into the water.
[Misty]
She shook her head. “This is how I showed my children how to swim. It just tickles if anything but I rather not be responsible for your death so hold on.”
[Dylan]
“Oh okay, if you say so.” He explains while hesitantly taking her tail and bracing himself for the swimming part.
[Misty]
Misty swam slowly as to not freak Dylan out and to give him enough time to let go and swim by himself if he chose to. It was so nice for her to be back swimming since the last time was so long ago.
[Dylan]
He appreciated that Misty was swimming slow enough to not scare him. He observed how she was swimming and thought it was safer to just continue to hang onto her as she swam. He took in the scenery around him as well, the calm waters and birds in the sky.
[Misty]
She swam around for a bit, figuring when Dylan wanted to stop he would let her know as she could do this for hours.
[Dylan]
The male was honestly impressed with everything as they swam around. He was surprised that someone else didn’t try to make him food either as most of the others stayed away. “So how long do you normally swim for? Do mermaids ever get tired?”
[Misty]
“No, we are made for the water so I could swim forever if I wanted to. But obviously that would be impossible.” She replied stopping to give Dylan a rest.
[Dylan]
“I mean humans are made for walking on land but that doesn’t mean we could walk forever if we wanted to, eventually they would get tired wouldn’t they?” He asks before fixing his hair since it had started to get wet which was something he really didn’t like. “I think I like pools much better though, they are much more sanitary.”
[Misty]
“Not really the same thing. The only reason mermaids and sirens are on land is because of Úrsula so it’s not the same. And you do know people pee in pools way more than they do in the actual ocean right?” She asked.
[Dylan]
“Yeah but if its a private pool that is different and also there is chlorine to keep it clean or to help kill the germs if someone were to do that.” He explains, “And people don’t really tend to die in pools and have their remains float around the water. I mean that might be good food for fish but that’s not really my taste.” Dylan explains upon seeing a carcass floating in the water a few yards from them.
[Misty]
“Oh don’t worry they only float around for a second, someone is always ready to eat the rest. We like to keep a clean ocean.” She teased before pointing to the siren approaching the carcass. “And don’t act like shifters aren’t just as dangerous and at least we are in the water, you know we are there. Shifters on the other hand like sneaking around for their prey. That is so much worse.”
[Dylan]
“I like to think of shifters as big, mean puppies. We can be vicious when we want but also cute and fluffy when we want cuddles. Yeah we can be sneaky, but sirens use their voice to lure their prey so in a way they don’t know it either because they are in a daze from the song.” He explains.
[Misty]
“I guess...but our prey is the one to blinded to see what’s happening. That’s not my fault.” She replied. “Are you ready to head back?”
[Dylan]
“Mhm, ours is over in one bite at least for most of the time. We don’t really eat humans though. I do like to eat deer though, that is one of my favorites.” He smiles before nodding his head. “Yeah we can head back. So then do you ever use your song to you know...lure the humans to eat them?”
[Misty]
“I did once a long time ago. I tend now to only really eat people when I’m extremely mad, but when I first got my powers I wanted to see how to use them and I did it and that was the last time.” She explained before waving her tail for the other. “Do you still want to hold on or are you fine?”
[Dylan]
“Holding on would be good. Sorry about all the questions, I don’t usually get to ask anyone about this kind of stuff.” He responds with a smile. “It is really interesting to see the differences in the species though.”
[Misty]
“Oh don’t worry about it. I don’t get asked this stuff often so it’s interesting to see what people want to know.” She smiled back. “Hold on.” She said before feeling Dylan’s hands around her tail and swimming back to the castle.
[Dylan]
“Really? I would think as queen people might ask you a lot of questions about the species and other things concerning the kingdom of course.” He responds before holding onto her tail as they took off back to the castle.
[Misty]
“No it’s always questions about the kids or what I’m wearing or something stupid. No one asks me questions, Nibs’ gets all the important ones. And when he’s gone I get asked. But hey if you want to know the best dress maker I can tell you that.” She joked as they made it to the castle.
[Dylan]
Dylan let out a small laugh, “Well, maybe I will keep that in mind for my daughter.” He responds with a smile as he thinks as to when Sam would even let him visit her. He probably wouldn’t….”I guess it makes sense that he gets asked all the questions as king then. I am sure that can be rather tiring right?”
[Misty]
“I don’t know me and Nibs never talk about work. I mean we discuss important things but when it comes to everyday we don’t talk about it and even if we did he would never tell me if it was tiring. He would make it sound so easy so I guess it’s fine.”
[Dylan]
“Does that bother you that he doesn’t talk to you about that kind of stuff?” He asks while looking at the other. “Have you tried to talk to him about it?” Dylan looks over and sees a whale and oogles at it since he had not seen one before. “What is that?”
[Misty]
“I’ve never really thought about it. I guess not, I wouldn’t even know how to help him if he needed help and if he asked me how my day was what am I supposed to say? I picked which flowers to put throughout the castle? I would sound stupid so if he doesn’t want to talk about it that’s fine.” She answered before looking at what Dylan was talking about. “A whale. Have you never seen one this close before?”?”
[Dylan]
“I haven’t...they don’t eat us do they? I mean, they are really big and all.” He explains while slightly wiggling away from it.
[Misty]
“They won’t eat me, you I’m not so sure. But luckily for you you could literally walk to shore from here.” She responds laughing at his actions.
[Dylan]
“What? They might eat me?” His wolf ears popped up before he booked it for the shore. He had never run so fast in his life. “Not today, I will not be fish food today. Nope.” He panted before laying on the beach.
[Misty]
Misty just shook her head as she watched him run to the beach. “So you aren’t afraid to be eaten by a pureblood siren but a whale who definitely only eats fish you are scared of? You are a strange boy Dylan.”
[Dylan]
“What? You never said that they eat only fish…” His ears fall flat before he pouts. “One bite from me could kill a siren but a whale….I don’t know how many bites I would need to kill it. It would flop on me to death or something stupid like that.”
[Misty]
“Yeah because I was joking. But trust me a siren can kill you a lot faster than you think. Especially when you are in the same bed as them. Never trust someone that enjoys turning people into e’s.” She said shifting back and sliding her dress on. “Whales aren’t going to hurt you Dylan. They would get nothing out of it.”
[Dylan]
“Yeah that’s why you don’t be around someone who likes to turn someone into e’s duh. Zephyr never did that did he? I thought that was what his brother was famous for?” He asks curiously.
