A small blond head broke the surface of the ocean, wide eyes grinning at the fact that he'd managed to make it this far without getting caught. He floated for a bit before diving back under and deciding to swim closer to shore.

Rose walked along the shore. She had lost her sandals somewhere far back, and didn't really care that much about it.
Sitting down on the edge of the shore, she dipped pale feet into the water, and lay back, smiling. She felt carefree and happy for the first time in ages.

Urchin bobbed up to the surface, erking and trying to find something to duck behind when he spotted the human on the shore. It was too shallow around to dive; and he didn't know who the girl was.
He kept his fin hidden, oh boy was he going to be in trouble if Triton found out about this.
Just his luck there were no rocks around.

The blonde teen sat up when she sense someone near her. Plus, she heard splashing. Looking up, she saw a guy, who looked around the same age as her. He seemed to be a little panicked
"Hey..." Rose called out, unsure of what to do, "You okay?"

Urchin flinched before turning to face her, rubbing the back of his head. Greaaat!
"Yeah I'm fine! Just thought I uh...lost something in the kelp." Well that wasn't a total lie- he'd lost Pudge in the kelp bed but that probably had more to do with the fishes attention span then him.

Rose looked at him, her head to one side. 'Kelp?' she thought. 'What could he have lost in there?' Shrugging it off, she wondered what to say next.
Gazing at him clearly, she suddenly blurted out, "My name's Rose," before brushing back a lock of golden hair. To say she was a fearless slayer, she could get so shy!

He paused and looked at her before grinning and gesturing at himself, "I'm Urchin." He stayed where he was though, if he tried moving further up the sun would hit the jade green of his fin and catch her attention- maybe.
He rested the thinner part of his tail against the soft sand, looking as though he were simply kneeling in the water.
Tilting his head in curiosity he looked at Rose, "There's usually no one on this beach, well not this early anyways. What're you doing here?"

The blonde smiled again when Urchin grinned at her. She wondered what he was doing in the water at this time, but didn't ask for now.
She absentmindedly started looking at the purple, dragon shaped birthmark on her hand. To be honest, she wished she didn't have it. Maybe then, things might have been better in her life...
Rose looked up again when she realized she was being talked to. She was a little surprised at his question, but then again, it was pretty early.
"Oh, well, I-I just felt like coming out here where it's quiet. Y'know, to get away from it all."
She wasn't lying, though. She did want to get away from it all, get away from the Huntsclan. She had failed to slay the American Dragon again, and things weren't looking too good for her.

He leaned back a bit, "Get away from what?" all that Urchin knew about humans was from whatever Ariel had shown him.
"Is someone after you?" He saw the strange mark; but having grown up around spotted fish he thought it was something all humans had.

'Great...now what should I tell him?!' Rose hated lying to people, but what would they think if she told them she lived with people who wanted to tear up magical creatures? Loopy much?
"Oh...well, um, get away from where I live," the teen told Urchin, "You see, I don't have any parents, and sometimes life gets a little tough." She brushed back more hair that was falling into her face, and twisted her fingers, nervous.
Rose bit her lip as his next question, "No, no-ones after me, really."
Her powder blue eyes studied the boy for a moment, and then she asked, "How come you're in the sea at this hour? Isn't it freezing in there?"

Urchin waved his hand, "It's not that hard without parents." He easily admitted, he'd done all right on his own. He watched her twitch nervously before blinking a bit at her question.
He hadn't thought about that, now it was his turn to run his hand through his hair in nervousness, "Uhm...it's not -that- cold. Not really actually." Not for him, the water was actually a bit warmer on the surface.

"Well, I guess is isn't really...but I would've like to have known them. And...my Uncle's really strict." Rose half smiled at him.
She looked at Urchin with a raised eyebrow when he told her the water wasn't cold. He seemed nervous about her question, but then again, she was with his.
Standing up, the blonde walked to the water and dipped a foot in. Her blue orbs widened when she found it wasn't actually as cold as it had seemed before.
'That's weird...' Rose thought, before putting her other foot in.

Now Urchin had reason to panic a little bit, he sunk down a bit more as she came closer. The water coming up to mid-chest though it wasn't really that deep.
"Wait- you live with your Uncle?" this meant there might be someone looking for her, an older human too.
"He's...the one you went away from...uh dooo you think he followed you?"

The blonde stepped in the water a little further, before flopping down, so that the sea covered nearly all her legs, while the rest of her was on the sand.
She looked up at him. "Yea, um, my Uncle. He won't be looking for me, unless there's something really "important" going on."
Rose turned her head, and stared at the sun. It was getting warmer now.

He relaxed a little when she sat down on the sand, not seeming to want to come closer. He did though, his own curiosity about families bringing him a little closer, still half hidden by the water.
A few small waves were starting to show up as the tide came in. "I guess that means you get enjoy the day huh?"

Tracing a line in the sand with a finger, Rose smiled, "Sometimes. It depends on what my Uncle says."
She hoped she was making some sense a least. She was trying to tell as much of the truth as possible.

He made a face, not sure how he'd feel about having to -always- listen to someone.
"Do you always listen to him?"

She looked up then, wide eyed.
"Well, sometimes," Rose sat up, putting her hands round her legs. "It's kinda complicated really."

He smiled at the sometimes, before waving his hand, "Ah, humans always say stuff is complicated. It's probably a lot easier then ya think."

Even though the blonde was quite stunned at Urchin saying that, she couldn't help but grin when he smiled. She the noticed he said 'humans', as if he wasn't one.
Rose curiously looked at him, "You said 'humans.'" She then wondered if he wasn't one.

Urchin gave a small look of confusion, he hadn't realized that he'd said 'humans'.
"Ah, well yeah I mean. That's what we are; right? Humans! They- we're everywhere!"

Rose's face became one of suspicion; but she did that anyway. It was in her nature, but she didn't pry on it, she was tired of suspecting everyone.
She leant back alittle, so the tip of her hair got wet in the sea. The sun was beating down now rapidly, and it was hot.

She seemed to have bought it, which made the merrow sigh in relief before glancing up at the sun. The waves were pushing further onto shore and he gave an erk when one of the waves pushed him forward.
"Something tells me the tides coming in..."

"Yea, I think it is..."
She glanced up at the water, and found that she was sat in it a little deeper than before. It wasn't cold, though.
Turning over onto her stomach, she rested her elbows in the soft, wet sand, and put her head on her hands.
"Do you...live round here?" The teen suddenly asked.

"You could say that- it's sort of hard to get too, but it's home."
Just a small cave underneath one of the deeper coral reefs, but Urchin had been living there as far back as he could remember.
"Are you one of those tourists that always come by here?" Lilo mentioned them every so often, he still didn't really know what they were beside some sort of human.

Rose nodded, sort of understanding Urchin.
"Oh, no, I'm not a tourist...well, my Uncle, he sorta likes moving a lot, so I find I'm going from place to place every few months."

"So, you get to go everywhere? Anywhere?" His eyes had widened in curiosity, moving forward a bit with the tide, the waves were getting a big stronger, pushing the sea closer to shore.
"That must be great! Getting to see the whole world." He erked as a rather strong wave pushed him face first into the water. He surfaced after a moment, shaking his head to get the water off his face.

"I've never been outside of America, but seen I've a lot of it." Rose smiled, before looking away.
"It's quite amazing, really. I live in New York, for now." She noticed that the tide was coming in swift and fast now.

Urchin floated on the tide a bit before settling back on the sandy bottom. He titled his head, looking at her in confusion.
"What's a New York?" he'd never left the waters around his home.

Rose looked at Urchin, her face a mixture of suprise and puzzlement.
"Y-you've never heard of New York?" How...everyone must have heard of it...well, almost everyone.
"It's this huge city, in America." She hoped the boy knew at least what 'America' was.
