The Mighty Pebbles

“  i  enjoy  talking  to  you.  your  mind  appeals  to  me.  ”

“  if  you  live  to  be  a  hundred,  i  want  to  live  a  hundred  minus  one  day  so  i  would  never  have  to  live  a  day  without  you.  ”

“  i  could  listen  to  you  ramble  all  day.  ”

“  everything  that  happens  it  better  when  you’re  here.  ”

“  don’t  you  read  your  messages  ?  we  have  a  friend  emergency.  ”

“  if  you  called  at  3am,  i’d  always  answer.  ”

“  i’ll  bring  you  tea  with  honey.  i  know  that  always  makes  you  feel  better.  ”

“  i  brought  sweets  and  chocolate.  ”

“  just  get  in  the  pillow  fort,  okay  ?  ”

“  i  cooked  it  for  you.  it  may  not  be  edible,  but  it’s  the  thought,  right ?  ”

“  come  for  a  drive  with  me  ?  i  need  to  clear  my  head.  ”

“  your  mom  let  me  in.  ”

“  i  made  you  pancakes  to  cheer  you  up.  ”

“  sometimes  i  want  to  punch  you  in  the  throat.  but  i  love  you.  ”

“  i  missed  you.  ”

“  remind  me  why  we  decided  this  was  a  good  idea ?  ”

“  i  heard  you  crying  through  the  door.  everything  okay  ?  ”

“  they  don’t  deserve  someone  as  amazing  as  you.  ”

“  tell  me  words  of  encouragement  so  i  don’t  murder  someone.  ”

“  it’s  my  job  to  take  care  of  you.  ”

“  i’m  sorry,  i  can’t  control  it !  ”

“  stay  back !  ”

“  i  can  help,  you  just  need  to  trust  in  my  powers.  ”

“  i’m  dangerous.  ”

“  i  could  hurt  you.  ”

“  my  power  doesn’t  define  me.  ”

“  i’m  so  sorry  !  did  i  hurt  you ?  ”

“  the  fire  finds  a  home  in  me.  ”

“  are  there  more  like  you ? ”

“  how  did  this  happen  to  you  ?  ”

“  you’re  a  freak !  ”

“  i  wish  i  had  your  power.  ”

“  you’re  astonishing.  ”

“  you  don’t  need  these  powers  to  be  someone’s  hero.  ”

“  trust  me,  you  do  not  want  to  be  like  me.  ”

“  does  it  hurt  ?  your  power ?  ”

“  they  drained  me  of  my  abilities.  ”

“  help  me  before  i  explode.  ”

“  your  skin  is  so  cold.  ”

“  why  do  you  always  feel  so  hot  ?  it’s  like  you’ve  got  lava  running  through  your  veins  rather  than  blood.  ”

“  i  don’t  care  about  your  abilities.  i  care  about  you.  ”

“  i’m  just  a  waste  of  space.  ”

“  am  i  a  villain  in  your  story ?  ”

“  even  the  shortest  conversation  with  you  makes  me  happy.  ”

“  maybe  i  lied  when  i  said  i  was  okay.  ”

“  mathematically,  i  am  nearly  2%  tea  right  now.  ”

While she was no longer cold, since she was inside, she wouldn’t turn down the warmth of another blanket. “Another like this?” She tilted her head, unaccustomed to being showered with what she considered to be gifts.

“But… if they’re special, I don’t want to ruin them somehow…” She didn’t quite understand what he meant by handmade. Everything in her experience was made by hand, although she’d been to Utopia, so she was learning that perhaps that was not the case everywhere. “Are you sure I can have so many?”

“These are made to be used, don’t be too worried, unless you planned on doin’ something messy like….painting or hiking or swimming with it.” A lot of the guests who had come through, especially those from Utopia, saw these unique items as precious and priceless. He appreciated the care and consideration for the resort’s property, of course, plus he was proud of the designs that seemed native to his area, and the fact that they had so many handmade items compared to the mass-produced things that came out of bigger cities. “Do you see how many of these things we’ve got in here?” Júní gestured to the closet, which still had many covers to choose from, and he knew there were already some in use by other guests. “Please, don’t be worried. That’s my job here, alright? I gotta make sure you’re comfortable like it’s your own home.”

Astrid nodded in understanding and smiled. “ Well, being able to mend things is always a good skill to have, even if your not good at it. And you know, the more often you try, the better you will get at it.”

She sat down and patted the place next to her to invite Pebbles to sit next to her. “And of course I’d like to teach you that, lets start with something easy, like a scarf, okay? do you have a prefered color you would like to use?”

Pebbles frowned a bit at the need for practice. It reminded her of her elders. ‘just practice more at fitting into this role and you’ll be fine- normal, even. You’re too old for this. Blah blah blah’.

“Wait mer– they– you–you can grow legs?! You aren’t half fish the whole time?” Her childhood stories had never told her that– in fact, they made a pretty big deal out of the fact that merfolk couldn’t change unless they made a deal with a magic-user to always have legs. No going back. “Since when?!”

Lovise chuckled in amusement about the childs reaction. “Well, to be honest I only got to know about that fact myself when I was around 14? I think?” She scratched her head, trying to think of when she first came to land. “But my friend Astrid told me thats something we always could do. In fact, shes one of the mer that was raised mostly on land. But to answer your first two questions - we don’t really grow legs, its more like our tails splits into legs, its a bit painful process tho. And therefore, no we arent half fish the whole time.”

Pebbles frowned, her little world turning even more upside down as she began to shiver from a gust of wind. “...woah. That’s so hardcore...”

mer–lovise‌:

Lovise just let out a huff, and continued to pull herself and the child towards the more safe part of the shore. After finding a secure spot for both of them, she settled down and lightly ruffled the childs hair. “You have a good head young one, but you really don’t have to worry about me. I’m going to be fine.”

Despite Lovise’s statement, Pebbles continued to look concerned as Lovise brought them both to the shore. “But… you won’t be able to swim…”

She looked up at the Lovise with wide, worried eyes, though she was secretly thankful the girl had brought them both back to shore. Though Pebbles was worried about Lovise, she didn’t really like being alone very much.

Lovise chuckled and continued to pat the girls head. She really didnt have to worry that much about her safety.

“Well, for once I could just robb myself back to the water later.” She settled down a bit more and curled her tail around Pebbles. “And you know, a Mer can’t really dry out. Our tails just basically turn to legs if we’re out of water long enough. And if we go into water again later our legs turn into tails.”

Lovise just let out a huff, and continued to pull herself and the child towards the more safe part of the shore. After finding a secure spot for both of them, she settled down and lightly ruffled the childs hair. “You have a good head young one, but you really don’t have to worry about me. I’m going to be fine.”

Despite Lovise’s statement, Pebbles continued to look concerned as Lovise brought them both to the shore. “But... you won’t be able to swim...”

“…okay!” She picked up the ball of yarn and easily threw it into one of the baskets. “Yay, I did it!” She beamed, happy to be helpful and do something that an adult didn’t seem to be able to do. “Can I try to help with something more challenging?”

Astrid smiled about Pebbles displaying such amounts of joy about throwing the ball in the basket. She tapped her chin, thinking about if she got something more challenging for the young girl to do. “Well….if you want I could teach you how to knit or sew or something?”

“Well... I know how to mend things, kinda. I’m not very good at it, but one of the people in the village taught me how.” She shrugged, seemingly unconcerned with her lack of sewing skills, though her people would be aghast at that admission.
