The water felt colder than usual, but maybe that was my nerves. I wasn’t really sure what I was hoping for. My heart had gone out to Fayre. She looked so heartbroken when I saw her last, when I told her I was leaving. I hadn’t seen her since. I swam deeper down making the now familiar trip to Fayre’s home. I had to fight the temptation to knock on the doorway. Knocking on doors ways a human habit and I felt like it might be in my best interest to avoid everything that might remind her father that I was human in any part. Instead, I called from the doorway. It may be more mer to sing, but I had never been a singer. Fayre’s mother came to the doorway. She looked behind and around me, her smile fading.

“Fayre isn’t home.” She said with a look of confusion on her face. I nodded.

“Actually, I was wondering if I could speak with Mr. Myrnuien.” I offered. She smiled again and seemed pleased.

“Come in.” She gestured to the room behind her and I followed her inside. I floated there, hoping I wasn’t about to make things worse for Fayre. Or for me.

“Ehem.” Behind me Levenic cleared his throat, a bubbling sound underwater. I turned to see him there, floating at the other end of the room, his hands folded across his broad chest and a scowl on his face.

“Hello.” I began, hoping to sound confident. “I was hoping I might have a chance to speak with you, we didn’t have a chance the other day.”

“We didn’t have a chance, because I didn’t want to speak with you.”

“Right. Well, I was hoping I might get to before my sister, Lady Reed, comes back. I’m going to be going away with her for a little while.” I hoped that the title was right, I had gotten the news from Oran only that morning, and he hadn’t been entirely confident about it.

“Lady Reed?” He asked. “I am unfamiliar with her.”

“Oh, she was only recently given a title. She’s been visiting our relative, the queen these past few days.” Would I need to get into my complicated family history?

“You’re related to Queen Iolanthe?”

“On my Ondine side.”

He nodded thoughtfully and then furrowed his brow. “Would you tell Fayre to come in please? She shouldn’t have sent you in by yourself. I thought she was braver than that.”

“I didn’t come with her. I haven’t seen her for a few days.” I answered truthfully.

Levenic become thoughtful again, his face concerned. “We assumed she was off with you. Angry at me. She hasn’t been home in three days.”
