Spending time with the water fairies was an interesting experience. Talori watched them interact with each other so easily. As easily as any of Zale's mermen did with him. She supposed this was how things were when fae were where they belonged.
She had never felt like she belonged anywhere since her mother's death. She had her brother but everyone else treated her as if she was either crazy or a bubble that could pop at any time.
Obviously, Talori knew she belonged in the ocean with Zale. Living up here certainly came with his challenges, as she had been reminded of earlier.
Not being able to get around so easily on her own…having to constantly drink water or submerge herself…answering the same questions over and over whenever she met someone new because no one up here had ever met a mermaid before.
