#onava

Onava, a siren: Water wets what it's on. Water cannot wet itself, it just gets consumed and thus creates a larger body of water.

Nevada hummed quietly to herself, sitting under an umbrella as the sun started to rise. She was seated by the pool, book now abandoned on the table with a bookmark in it. It was early, so she rationalized she had at least an hour longer before anyone came outside but she was wrong.

“Nevvy?” Onava hummed, standing in the doorway dressed in a bathing suit, “what’re you doing?”

“Reading.” Nevada motioned to the book, “morning swim?”

Onava nodded, walking over to her and placing a kiss on her forehead. “We missed you…”

“I was just outside.” Nevada sighed, grabbing Onava’s hand to plant a kiss on the back.

“Wait, were you here all night?” Onava yawned, “Nevvy, we talked about this.”

“I know,” she had a guilty smile, “but it’s nice during the night.”

Onava sighed, jumping into the pool. She stayed underwater for a few moments before pulling herself up and resting her arms on the outer edge.

“You know we tried to wait up for you…”

“You did?” Nevada frowned.

“You said you’d be a couple of minutes longer.” Onava sighed, “Olivia stayed up after I fell asleep… which is probably why she’s still sleeping now.”

Nevada nodded, “of course that little demon would…”

“She’s taller than both of us.” Onava giggled, pushing off of the side of the pool to go under again to resurfaced on the other side of the pool. “Going to stay in the chair?”

“Yep, where it is dry and no risk of sun,” Nevada nodded, “though I guess I should get inside before the sun is fully up either way.”

Onava nodded, “yeah… you should take a nap though, at least.”

“It’s fine.” Nevada shrugged causing the siren to frown.

“You said that last week…”

“It is fine, Onava.” Nevada sighed, “I don’t even feel tired.”

Onava puffed out her cheeks, “not even to cuddle?”

“...” Nevada sighed, “fine. Just to cuddle.”

That caused the siren to grin brightly, swimming back over to the side where Nevada was. “Good!”

The vampire raised an eyebrow as Onava climbed out of the pool, “taking a shorter swim are you?”

“It means more cuddle time!” Onava defended.

Nevada could only laugh, “I think we’ll have to wake up Olivia…”

I use merm as a pretty broad term (so it doesn't mean just mermaids, at least in The Realms universe). It's a broad term of aquatic species (mermaid, siren, waterborn, aquatic elves (which split into river/ocean/lake and similar and then smaller combined groups like swamp/coast and similar), bubble dwellers, shapeshifters with aquatic animal forms, and so on.

Onava is a Siren, she's also a trans lesbian. She's not all that thought out ngl. Both of the merms I've mentioned aren't though. I know she's soft-spoken, and prefers to keep to herself outside of the Cavern. She's lowkey a mechanic (aka she knows a lot about cars but doesn't have the academic qualifications) and she ends up with Nevada and Olivia.

Onava: Man humans are weak-

Jezebeth: I'm gunna test it out! *Runs off*

Doin’ this with Onava again… When she gets sick she’s banished to the pond or a bathtub depending on the severity of the sickness. Since she’s a siren, water (saltwater, preferably) is supposed to help her feel a bit better.

Nevada, sitting on the couch ignoring Olivia: Fuck off bitch, you ain't m' mum

Onava, sobbing: YOU'RE BACK!!!

Olivia: I am older than you kiddo, by more than a century newbie. Respect.

Elvaid, in the background: Does this make me an uncle now?

Nevada: WE ARE N O T RELATED!
