To Trap A Mermaid

Kash believes his 'precious' wife will give him his second child though it's Keon's spawn that grows within Maranda, not that she would tell him she could say she feels terrible and is ashamed. Though she misses Keon, trying to shake that thought from her head she makes sure that Kash never feels left out as far as her affections go.

"I love you Mara."

"I love you too Kash." at least some part of her believes that.

Kash decided he would become a fisherman to bring in more money for their family, none the wiser he gives little thought to the whispered rumors that Maranda was too friendly with a newcomer. His wife was perfect to him and if anything she could be friendlier he wondered where the newbie was from. Sometimes they did get new people that might be offended by the relaxed ways here..mostly dropping by unannounced, that had to be it.

While he didn't catch any fish he did find a cowplant berry and he was awfully curious.

Maranda feels a little more guilty helping Cullio with homework, they saw the humor in dragging one another beneath the waves, as they couldn't drown another. She wasn't amused but this was her family, what had she done..?

Back at the odd home of Keon Nalani had touched up a few things it was getting more and more comfortable here.

"Potty!" Alanna started excitedly, so proud of telling Nalani she needed help early.

Nalani was forever amused by her.

"Good girl, let's get to your room."

Still the spirits watch over her silent to her ears unsure if she learned well from their warnings, changing every so often to see for themselves, she only smiled hoping to assure them she was happy here.

Though to Keon he prepared himself for the worst as he spoke to her privately, her nervous fidgeting wasn't helping either he hadn't heard from Maranda and as Nalani herself was often busy with his sister that left him alone much more than he liked.

"Just spit it out Nalani." he prepared to ready her tank, she wasn't going anywhere.

"I uh...I seem to be expecting."

He was silent for a moment till it clicked that is.

Nalani was his, stuck with him now and he was thrilled, she was just glad to see him so excited she saw sometimes that he did care for his sister but normally he wasn't very hands on it almost came off as if he didn't care for kids much. This was a nice surprise and for now her nerves settled.

He was ready to be done with Maranda if only it were that easy.
