Fine mermaid swims up to th' territory. Her tail, grey atop ivorn beneath, flops listlessly, keeping her upright with th' smallest of efforts. Iron muscled arms clench at a culture of kelp, th' oozing green sea grass streaming behind her like a curtain of ribbons. A small red fox, eyes cool and content, paddles easily beside her, treading water with webbed pads.

Suddenly, as if her companion's wariness had reminded her, she holds out th' bundle of kelp, as a sort of peace offering.
