Slippery Scales of Decipet

[LegoLad659]

Emma sat next to him, on the bed since they hadn't set up any chairs yet "Well, that's two down. Day three of your time here starts tomorrow, too." She said, before lying across the bed on her back.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He nodded and looked at her, "Can we maybe go get some water first? It's barely even twilight and, well, it could be nice to get some before we sleep." He looked around, rubbing his throat to sell his idea.

 

[LegoLad659]

"Ah, true." Emma said, getting up from the bed "There's a lake not far from here we can get some water from, come on." She told him before she headed out of the cave again, making sure he was following her.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He nodded and looked down at the water, "so... can you possibly tell me some stuff about yourself. I just, it'll be interesting to understand abot my... trianre." He picked hte last word very gently.

 

[LegoLad659]

"Me?" Emma asked, having never been asked this question before "Well, I like snakes, of course. Let's see... I have an Arachne friend I like to visit occasionally. She's pretty adorable, I think. Let's see... I've never actually eaten any of the fruit on the trees here, seeing bigger meals in the animals that live in the forest."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"Are you able to actually eat fruit and stuff other than meat?" He asked, continuaing to walk around. She seemed a little strange at the moment. IT appeared as though she was upset and possibly like she had no clue what to say.

 

[LegoLad659]

"I'm not actually sure. I assume so, since I'm half Human and all. It just doesn't seem like the most filling meal I could have, is all." Emma explained.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He nodded as they reached the lake, "are you able to swim?" He removed his shirt (he was fair of build, not muscular but not too skinny), then slid his shoes off. He descended into the water with a smile.

 

[LegoLad659]

"Unfortunately, because of my lower half, I can't. I could dip into the shallow water, though." Emma explained, entering the water along with him. She kept an eye on his movements in case he had the idea to use her inability to swim to run off.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He looked down, "that's odd...many snakes are able to swim."He swam over and thought, "oh, I have an idea!" He slid an arm around her midsection, placing the other on her collarbone. He leaned her horizontal, "try swishing your tail back and forth."

 

[LegoLad659]

"Er... That may be true, but I'm simply too heavy to swim without any legs..." Emma replied, not sure what the swishing of her tail would do "I'm not a mermaid."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"I think I understand something. Just try it." He smiled as she began. While she flipped, he kept her up, "try to pedal out.l

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma wondered exactly where Aaron was going with this. As she flicked her tail around, it gave her a small amount of propulsion, but not nearly enough to keep her afloat.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He blinked, "something should work... there's something... off." He felt her fail and began to rub it, "do you inflate this with water?"

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma shook her head "No..." She answered, more confused than anything else "I'm not sure how you'd think I could, there's just flesh there..."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He go of her "sorry... I just thought May be your be able to float. There has to be something to your anatomy..." He leaned back, floating beside her.

 

[LegoLad659]

"Believe me, I've already tried. The problem is, see, the thinner part of my tail can float just fine. Once it gets to about two thirds of the way up, it becomes too thick and heavy to stay afloat, and the rest of my tail doesn't really have a way to keep it up." Emma explained to him.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He looked farther up and down her fail, "I might look into it." He crawled out and filtered some water from the other end of th lake, then returned, "there we go."

 

[LegoLad659]

"Huh? What are you doing?" Emma asked, as he did... Whatever it was he was up to. Not even the guy on the other side of his computer screen really understood what it meant.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

(*chuckles* fourth wall jokes maybe? Sorry, let me make that more clear)


When he was done with trying ot help her swim, he sighed and looked up, "Why not just get the water and go, it's getting a little late." He climbed out of the water and looked back, "Where did you put the water pails?"

 

[LegoLad659]

(Sorry, I just couldn't resist xD )


Emma followed behind him and tilted her head "The water pails? I thought you had them." She told him, seeing how he was the one that proposed getting the water in the first place.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"You mean we walked... ahh..." He looked around and rubbed his head. In doing so, he wasn't able to see. He tripped over and root and right on top of her, sending them onto the water on top of eahc other.

 

[LegoLad659]

Emma shook her head as the two hit the ground, looking up at Aaron "Ow... Well, that was a nice move." She commented, lightheartedly.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Aaron blinked rapidly and groaned. He was unerneath Emma. He looked up and blushed, "I-I... sorry about that..." He looked to her tail and then up again, banishing... those thoughts away.

 

[LegoLad659]

(I thought you just said he was on top of her?)


Emma got up and dusted herself off "Come on, let's just get back and get those water pails." She said, extending her arm to help him up as well.
