ROMANCE

Love In The Afterlife

"You know," said Corvid, "The only ones that truly know what the afterlife is like—"

"Are the ones living it," finished Cichlid. "We know." The air stirred about as ghostly figure swam about. The air was just like water in this new life. In fact, all matter was like water now. Corvid spoke of it like it was wind, though it was understandable since the other ghost was a tall bird-like creature.

Labrid tutted. "It's rude to interrupt, you know."

"Eh, it's fine." Corvid smoothed down some feathers. "It wasn't that important."

"Oh, don't say that!" Cichlid sighed, swimming over to circle both the bird-ghost and the other mermaid-ghost. "You just tell us the same thing every year."

Corvid cocked their head to the side, blinking a few times at Cichlid. "Do I really?"

With a small giggle, Labrid said, "Well. I suppose you do."

A shake of their shoulders and a huff, Corvid looked up dramatically. "Then it must really be important. And you interrupted me." With a sharp movement, they looked at Cichlid. "What do you have to say for yourself?"

Cichlid shrugged, smiling. "I say we prove you wrong."

"Huh?" Corvid stood straighter. "Huh? Wrong? Me?"

The the brightly-coloured fish chuckled. "Yes. Let's do it!"

With a loud swallow, Labrid drifted away a little. "Well, I don't really think that's a good idea."

Corvid pointed at the less-bright Labrid, "See! I can't be wrong if Labrid doesn't want to try!"

"I never said I didn't want to try." Another timid swallow, and a frown. "Just that it's a bad idea. Don't put words in my mouth, Corvid, that's rude!"
