— she’s the one who’s wronged him. With a, “Rrraaah!” she slams her first into the bag hard enough to send it up, parallel to the floor for a second before it swings back toward them. She catches it before it can smack them. “There. Like that.” She steps back, hands on hips again. “Now you!”

—> Especially without any serfs to do her job for her seeing the princess struggling with mundane tasks was certainly shocking to some.- “Then there’s a trench…soon after is the fort… Oh wonderful! Huzzah!”

⠀ 〝 abandoned fort.. hmm, let's see... 〞 she thought for a moment on how exactly to get there. it was always a mess whenever she was thinking of directions. 〝 oh yeah. okay, so you'll need to turn around, go a few miles back, then turn right at + ⠀

—> She seemed to act very differently from herself as well which only added to her intrigue.-

⠀ mermista calms down a little after hearing that. she may seem like she doesn't care most of the time, but she doesn't want to be impoded. 〝 well in that case, yeah. i would like to see this bomb demonstrated. 〞 she said, leaning on the wall. ⠀

𝙴𝙽𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙿𝚃𝙰.@1stonesexpert.bsky.social · 7mo ago

She blinks. “A gravity bomb!” She repeats, assuming the princess just hadn’t heard her. “It’s not ready for testing yet, but when it is, it will be far away from any populated areas, of course. Do you really think I’d set off a bomb close enough to cause casualties?” That only happened one time.

⠀ 〝 you can't do that? well i'm not a human. i'm a mermaid. so, yeah. 〞 she continued to look at this strange princess, wondering what she would be thinking about. 〝 uh, before i go, is there any direction you needed help with? 〞 ⠀

Miranda Vanderbilt@merkingdomprincess.bsky.social · 7mo ago

“You can transform your lower half…? How interesting… I had no idea humans or mermaids could do such a thing. Perhaps I could one day as well.” -She was primarily talking to herself, not minding the water splash hitting her in the face. So many questions she wanted to ask!-

⠀ 〝 adora, i know how to fight. i grew up in a kingdom, that's all i've done. but i appreciate your help. 〞 she said as she made her way to the training room. 〝 alright here we are. there is a pool for water fighting so just like... be careful. 〞 ⠀

⠀ 〝 wow, you're really something else. 〞 she said as she turned around and transformed into her mermaid form. she dove into the the water and swam up. 〝 well, i hope your conquest works out for you. 〞 ⠀

—> Her tone almost seemed to switch on a dime! From threatening and menacing to cheering and joyful!-

⠀ mermista just stared for a moment as she processed that info. 〝 yeah, sure. but i wouldn't be so confident either. now get out of here. 〞 she countinued to stand there, watching the other's face as she folded her arms. ⠀

—> She leaned in slowly, face close to hers as if wanting to ensure she would go unchallenged.- “After all, I would hate for you to go the same way as that harlot Ariel~ especially as a fellow undersea princess…”

⠀ 〝 um yeah, that's what i said. listen, you can expand your kingdom wherever you'd like, but it can't like... be here. 〞 mermista said as she stood there. ⠀

Miranda Vanderbilt@merkingdomprincess.bsky.social · 7mo ago

“Ruler… does that mean you’re a princess as well? I had thought this territory was abandoned and was keen to claim it for the merkingdom! We’ve been expanding on land a lot so we’ve neglected to expand throughout the ocean territories as well!” -Well at least she was upfront about her reason…-

⠀ 〝 randon person...? okay, well i'm mermista, ruler of salineas. is there a reason you are in my territory? 〞 she asked, trident in hand. ⠀

“Ah! Some attention finally! I am Miranda Vanderbilt, and how about you random person?” -Well whatever pout she did earlier seemed to completely change to something far more cheerful.-

“A gravity bomb!” She repeats with absolutely no hesitation. She beams at Mermista, taking her question as genuine interest. “It pulls people to the epicenter of the explosion site. Do you want to see it?”

⠀ 〝 um... yeah. it's just down the hall. come on, i'll show you. 〞 she said, getting up from her sitting position and walking out the door. she wiped her face and continued to walk, not waiting for adora to follow. ⠀
