for: @naz-ozdemir location: the pools
Evening had become his choice of time to swim. Asher had tried the early morning thing for a while, tried to make it work, but truth be told he resented the fact that every other siren in Opulence seemed to have the same idea and the same plan, and hated the way it seemed impossible to swim without bumping tails with another. It wasn't the peaceful meditative experience he preferred it to be, and so he'd switched tactic. The late afternoon, early evening time seemed to be working for him thus far. He'd become accustomed to having the space to himself.
That was, until today, when he arrived to the sight of another siren already swimming. Asher tried to hide his dismay, knowing he didn't have a right to the pools, that this was bound to happen sooner or later, but his attempt at a friendly wave still came off awkward and stilted. "Oh, uh, hey."
