Terrible First Meeting Starters

Confused and surprised, Nick wanted to complain. How dare this lady push him?! Watch it! Be careful! Explain yourself! He wanted to say all of it. However, fortunately for her, he physically couldn’t. Moreover, while he didn’t get any weaker in general, the lack of voice seriously lowered his confidence in his abilities, thus, he didn’t dare to fight back.

Then he thought that he heard voices. Whatever were they yelling about? Were they looking for someone? He couldn’t quite make out but something was telling him that the lady had a reason to hush him down.

Barbara blinked, then glared out at the sea. “Poachers, huh? I take it they wanted your scales?” She returned her focus to Cala. “Sit tight, I’m gonna find some Red Lums!” And she dashed away, as quickly as she could.

It wasn’t too long before she returned, a small cluster of red balls of light with wings trailing behind her. “Go on, lil’ guys; there’s your patient!”

The Red Lums flitted over to Cala Maria, phasing through her skin and disappearing into her body. Cala’s wounds would quickly begin to seal themselves back up; such was the power of the Red Lums.

Mugsy, afraid of accidentally breaking things inside of the house, had decided to go out for a walk, hoping to maybe find an answer as to why he was so clumsy all of a sudden. It seemed the clumsiness extended to his entire body, however, as he had ended up tripping and tumbling quite spectacularly all the way down a hill.

It wouldn’t have been too bad had he not landed right in the ocean... and he wasn’t exactly a good swimmer. Panicking, he flailed and cried out, trying to keep his head above the water; luckily, Cala had found him almost immediately, and scooped the sputtering, shaking mug up out of danger.

Mugman jumped a bit at the question. As he drew his attention to Cala he lowered the arm that had been protectively raised before his face. He looked at her for a few moments, touching under his left eye. He blinked a few times. Were there teardrops in the corner of his eyes?

“Mmmmyeah? Yeah, everythin’ is fine.” Mugman looked away, finally letting his arm fall by his side and hugging it with the other hand. “Just... just got... j-just got caught off guard, ha-ha, you know how it is.” He tried to laugh it off. Though, maybe it would have worked better if could look Cala in the eyes in the mean time.
