Heading Home
They could have swam it, but Canada (and Alberta in particular), was quite the distance away from Atlantis. And frankly, what was the point of being a Princess if you couldn't ride in style every now and then? So the daughters of Namor were being taken home (or to the shore, at least), in an Atlantean Royal transport.

It was luxurious, if slightly military, but comfortable to say the least. Marrina sat on one of the couches, idly munching on candied sea urchins. Her father had introduced them to her on one of her last visits.

Her sister. She was bringing a sister home. There were probably going to be all kinds of diplomatic issues involved (especially once Emma Frost found out), but she would do everything she could to keep her sister safe.

"So..." she ventured. "You told me a little about you. Only fair if I talk too. Anything in particular you want to know?"

	"If they raised your mother then you kind of are their own," she offered. It made sense to her at least. "I'm only a quarter Atlantean myself. At least by species. I can't claim to be Atlantean in terms of citizenship. But that's okay. I have wings on my ankles like dad so I know who I am. I was so excited to get mine. Dad said you have them, too?"

	She nodded. "The Smallwoods are my family," she agreed. "And now Namor is too. And you," she added. "Mine only came in a couple of weeks ago. I'm... not real good at landing yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-05 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I've had mine for a few months but I haven't tried to fly at all yet. I promised Namor my first flight. I'm not sure how this is going to work out for me. My mother's telepathy I've lived with but winged ankles is going to be completely different for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marrina smiled. "Believe me, wings are only the drop in the bucket of weird for me. I can do... sea animal stuff. Tentacles, electric eels, crab armor... I had to do starfish one and grow my hand back." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"You can grow your own body parts back? That's...highly unusual. Wow. Remind me not to ever make you angry either, because the tentacles sound scary." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Well, some of them, anyway," she said. "That was the first time I'd tried that and I hope I don't have to again." She smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry. I'm not that scary. Promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 12:12 am UTC (link)
	"Your my older sister. By very definition that's scary." Kassia teased and laughed a little. "My sister Christina is intimidating, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 12:16 am UTC (link)
	"Oh?" Marrina asked. "What's she like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"She's direct, to the point, not very cuddly, very technologically inclined. She doesn't always come off as friendly, but she really is. She and my mother have a complicated relationship. Sometimes I wish Mom would just sit down and open up to Christina. It'd make things better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"People aren't usually as open with each other as they should be," she agreed. "I don't have any brothers or sisters," she added, "other than you. My parents, my adoptive parents, I guess, couldn't have kids of their own." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My mother, for being the telepath that she is, is a horrible communicator. She and Christina are much a like and I know that they share a great love for each other. Human beings...real ones, not half ones like me, seem to have such fear of their hearts."

She smiled a bit.

"Well. You have me now. I assure you I can be as much as two siblings in one. I'm...a little willful."

	"I think that's everybody, to a certain extent anyway," Marrina replied. "Hearts are powerful things." She smiled. "I do. And hopefully, I can pull off this big sister thing without too many problems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm confident in your abilities, Marrina. Dad clearly is, too. And it will be fun! Never been to Canada before." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'll like it, I think," Marrina said. "Alberta's pretty nice, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm pretty excited. Think I can have pancakes there? I kinda want maple syrup. Oooh, and mittens." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm positive you can have pancakes," she assured her sister. "We'll have a whole shopping trip once we get you settled in," she promised. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 05:02 pm UTC (link)
	Kassia quieted. "I'm not sure I can afford to go shopping. My ties to my mother are severed at Dad's request. Perhaps I should go and carry your bags? Nothing sucks more than having to carry bags." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 05:07 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about it," Marrina said. "Namor, after he found out about me, made very sure I wasn't going to want for anything. I haven't even touched the money, not really. Least I can do is use some of it to make sure my sister's taken care of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	"It is still your money. I will send a message to Dad, asking if I can borrow a bit perhaps. I do not want you spending your money on me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't mind, really," she assured her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	"It still is not right. That is your money. Not mine." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	Marrina decided to let the issue drop. "All right," she said. She went on. "Oh! This is... probably kinda awkward, but... How long can you be out of water for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Um. I don't actually know. I've always spent at least an hour in the bathtub every day. I've loved baths since forever. I...wonder if I should test and see how long I can go? I don't think it being saltwater matters." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sea_shelly 2010-04-06 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Probably a good idea," Marrina replied. "I can go about twelve, but I'd be a mess by the end of it. I try not to go more than eight or so." She blushed a little. "I actually sleep submerged." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_mermaid 2010-04-06 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"Hm. Maybe I should test it. It would be good to know. How do you sleep submerged?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
