Kai let out a gasp. "You're a princess? That's lovely!" he exclaimed. He shifted his position so that he was laying on his belly on the sand, tail gently swaying in the air as the waves washed all around him. Suddenly he looked devastated. "To think I scared someone so important! I'm so sorry, Princess Lisa!"
The doctor listened closely and then nodded. "Sounds normal," he murmured. He peered closely at Becca's eyes, and looked in both ears before packing up his stuff and standing. "She looks fine to me. You said you found her washed up on shore? It's amazing she only lost her voice," he said. Rowan smiled. "Alright, thanks doc," he said as the doctor left.

Precious innocent Becca xD]]
Rowan looked over at Becca and chuckled. "He was checking out how your lungs sound," he explained. He pointed to his own chest and traced his finger over it. "Your heart and lungs here, that's what he was listening to."
Kai tilted his head. "Just Lisa? Ok," he said. He reached out and gently poked Lisa's leg. "Hey, what are these? I've never seen them before..." He glanced back at his tail and flapped it around a bit. "I've only seen tails..."

Sorry I poofed! I got distracted by webtoons xD]]
Kai tilted his head to one side. "Legs..." he murmured. "You're one of those 'humans' right? I've heard other mermaids talk about them, but you're the first one I've seen," he added, smiling.
Rowan's eyes widened and his blush got brighter just as it was starting to fade away. Oh goodness she's going to hear my heart racing... "D-Do you hear it? My heart..." he murmured.

Rowan narrowed his eyes. He couldn't tell if Becca had realized or not. "W-Well, that's what the doctor was listening to," he said.
"What's it like up on land? I've only seen it a couple times from a long ways away," Kai asked, tracing his finger in the sand.

"Boring? But looks so interesting. And different," Kai mused, staring off at the buildings in the distance.
"What does that smile mean?" Rowan asked with a joking suspicion.

"Ok, ok, you don't need to rub it in my face," Rowan said with a smirk.
Kai tilted his head to the other side. "Hmmm, yeah, it is really cool," he said thoughtfully.

Rowan rolled his eyes, but ended up laughing as well. Now that the doctor had come and gone, it was time to figure out how to explain this to his parents.
Kai turned his thoughtful gaze back to Lisa, and suddenly turned more serious. "But I want to hear about you! And what life on land is like," he insisted.

Ooh, what if Lisa starts coming down every day to teach Kai something new about living on land, and that's how they fall for each other? Or would that be too close to what we have planned for Becca and Rowan?]]
Kai listened intently, eyes sparkling as Lisa explained about life on land. He clapped softly once she finished and smiled. "That sounds so... different," he said. The scent of dinner came floating down from the castle as the maids were preparing it, and it caught the merman's attention. He sniffed the air a few times and his eyes widened. "What is that? It smells so good!"
"Hmm, maybe I'll tell them you lost your memories..." Rowan murmured. "And that I'm going to be helping you get them back.... or you could be a maid here..."

Sweet]]
Rowan looked at Becca. "If you're feeling up to it, I should probably go show you to my parents now," he said. He stood up and reached his hand out to her.
"Oh yes, I would love that!" Kai exclaimed. "It smells so different from what I am used to, we mostly eat seaweed and some fish where I'm from."

Kai looked up at Lisa. "Oh? Alright," he said. He scooted himself back into the water at a depth where he could freely swim. "I'll be out here!" he called with a smile as he waved to her.
Rowan held Becca's hand and led her out of the room. "Mmm, smells like dinner is ready. That's probably where they are," he said, turning to Becca. "You hungry?"

"Good," Rowan said with a grin. "The one good thing about staying here is the food. I don't know how they do it, but the chefs are just the. Best." He pushed open the door to the dining room and pulled out a chair for her to sit in. He noticed his parents were already there, sitting a bit further down at the table.
Kai watched her go and floated in the water there for a moment before diving under.

Omg xD]
"Hello there, Lisa, um, don't mind her, she's just... um, I'll explain in a moment," Rowan said as Lisa walked in. He tapped Becca on the shoulder and pointed at the seat. "You sit on it, like they're doing. Er - watch me," he whispered. He pulled out the chair next to her and with great exaggeration sat down in it. "Like that."

Once Becca sat down, Rowan stood up again and cleared his throat. "Good evening, parents and Lisa. You're probably wondering who this is. Well, her name is Becca and she washed up on the shore here. She lost her voice, and has no place to stay. I've decided to keep her here until she has recovered."

"Well... I thought of maid as an idea too," Rowan said. "She's just here tonight because I thought after almost drowning she could use a proper meal... right?"

Rowan sat down and scooted up to the table, the scraping against the floor being unnaturally loud in the awkward silence. "Sooo, um, does this mean she can stay? For now?"
