I bet. I still think you could kick my ass if you wanted, and pirate brained me would def have been kicked.

Every now and again things like that happen, but it's rare as far as I know. Like, I'm not going to NOT go to things and play along even if those things happen. What's the point in living if you can't have fun?

I dunno about you. You're actually trained, yeah? I'm not.
I just have great powers to help me out.

You always have a better perspective on things... See? This is why I keep you round, Ben.

I am trained, but I'm rusty. I should actually fix that.
But your powers are awesome.

I'm worth keeping around at least!

I'm hardly the person for that, but I think you should. It's a good skill to have. I'm a little jealous.

Of course you're worth keeping around!

it's a good skill to have. I could teach you a bit of self defense if you want it.

So are you, so you know.

Yeah? Yeah...you wouldn't mind? That might be a nice to know.

Oh, I dunno about all that, mate haha. I think you're biased by the fact that keeping me around means you get to swim with a mermaid.

I wouldn't mind at all. It's important to know and could help in case of a situation around here.

Only mildly biased to that. I mean, it's a perk, but if you had scuba gear instead, I'd still want to swim with you.

Speaking of, I found a car I might get. Which means I might just buy scuba gear instead of renting it all the time. Also means it wont get so cold on the way home on fridays.

Then yeah, I'd like to learn. Thanks, Ben.

I wouldn't be that much fun to swim with in scuba gear, I'm betting. Plus, it wouldn't make nearly as good a story. :P

Oh, brilliant! I feel like I should go halves on the scuba stuff or something since you're mostly probably only using it to go with me, yeah?

It's not too bad, and we can use the gym in the house my siblings have to practice. it's got mats so it'd be painless as possible.

Scuba gear isn't that bad, but I bet it's nice to be free of it. still haven't told Klaus I've been swimming with a mermaid. I doubt he'd believe me.

Don't worry about it. it was on the list and I've been loving it.

They've got a gym? In their house? Geez. But yeah okay, if you don't think anyone would mind. Just let me know when.

I've never actually used it, to be honest, so I'll have to take your word for it that I'd probably prefer not having to deal with it. It certainly looks like a pain. You know the good part about being friends with a mermaid is that you actually have proof of those sorts of claims.

I'm glad. I like it better when I have you to swim with than when I go on my own or have Marco talking to me psychically when he's doing the dolphin thing.

Y-yeah. the place they found is really... ridiculous. but there is a full gym in it, so we might as well make use of it. What are you doing tomorrow?

It's not too bad. Just got to make sure I don't run out of air. I'm at least getting better at swimming now.

Swimming solo is okay but it's more fun to show off with friends.

Ridiculous how? Big or something? I'm not doing anything that I know of. Tomorrow works for me if it works for you.

If you ever run out, I'll share mine until we can get to the surface. Don't worry, I won't let anything bad happen.

It defintely is.

Huge. It's huge. Might be bigger than the place we were all raised in. There is way too much space for my liking haha.

I'm free this weekend. I can pick you up tomorrow morning if you're up to it?

Awww, i trust you. I actually feel pretty safe underwater with you, which I did not expect.

Oohh fancy.

Sure, that sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.

How can you not feel safe underwater when you've got a mermaid to protect you while you're there?

I'll pick you up at, say, 10? We can train then get lunch maybe?

exactly. that's why it's so freeing. If my still bad swimming skills get me killed, I can at least know the mermaid of awesome will drag my ass to shore.

Brilliant, looking forward to it. Sounds like a good plan!

You know, I could teach to swim better, if you wanted. I think you do all right, but if you're not secure about that skill, I can help.

Just don't expect me to sing over your unconscious body. I'm not that kind of mermaid.

Yeah? I mean, I'm doing pretty good and getting better but I still get that panic once in a while that creeps in like I'm doing something wrong.

But, but, but... that's part of the dream, isn't it? LOL

Yeah absolutely. Whenever, just let me know. We can even switch to a pool if that feels safer.

Haha, probably but I promise if I sang, it'd be a lot closer to a nightmare. I'm terrible.

the ocean is fine, and it gives us more room. I had to take a small class to go swimming with sharks when I went with Thor, so it helped a lot, but I can always improve.

Oh, me too! Clearly we need to go to karaoke and hurt some people's drunk ears.

Wherever, however you want, just let me know. :)

Haha, no. Definitely not singing for strangers.

Sounds good. you can work on my swimming and I'll work on your self defense

how about Asian style? In a little booth, just friends?

I like that plan.

I don't even sing in the shower alone, mate.

No singing at all? What kind of mermaid are you? (that's a tease, i swear)

The worst, most disappointing kind ever lol

aven't disappointed me yet at least :D
