"Okay..." His tail slowly wrapped around the plush of Golden.

Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท 11h ago"...You know...you can swim with me if you'd like...but only if you want to..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท 23h agoAmes makes Golden start to โswimโ around a little, unfortunately the swimming can only go as far as Ames can reach, which does make Ames a lilโ saddened.
Finley's eyes light up in awe. "Woah...that's amazing..." Despite how melancholic he sounds, he is quite impressed.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท 23h agoAmes walked over and carefully lowered Golden into the water, and in a magical poof, the plushie transformed into a new plushie form:
"Thank you...maybe I could show you my whole collection sometime..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท 24h agoโT-Thereโฆvery p-p-prettyโฆ~โ
Finley briefly dips underwater for a moment before popping back up again. The end of his tail emerges from beneath the surface, and reaches over to drop a few exotic looking seashells onto the ground in front of Ames.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayShe slowly nodded. โS-Sureโฆโ
"...Would you like to...see some I picked up this morning?..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayโS-Seashells are p-p-prettyโฆโ She commented.
"You must be really talented...all I do is collect seashells...and I have a lot of them..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayโI-I doโฆandโฆI-I alsoโฆm-m-made them myselfโฆโ She explained.
"...You have really nice dolls...you must have a lot of them..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayโI-Itโs nice to meet y-y-you tooโฆand you a-already met Goldenโฆโ She said, making the mentioned plush wave.
"I don't always like to make myself known, so...I don't blame you..." He returns the smile.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayโI-Itโs okieโฆโ Ames said with a little smile. โI-Iโmโฆsorry tooโฆI-Iโฆdidnโt know you were h-hereโฆโ
"...I'm sorry for scaring you too...I tend to do that..."
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayG: โNice to meet you! My mama and Oswald are sorry aboot scaring you..โ Ames slowly nodded, making Oswald nod too.
And further he lifts his head, getting a closer look at the doll...
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayAfter some digging, Ames would pull out this lifelike plushie from her backpack:
Carefully...Finley peeked his head out again...but very hesitantly. He was still somewhat scared. And nervous...
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayโW-Whoโฆwas that Oswaldโฆ?โ She asked the plush, making it โtalkโ back. O: โI donโt know mama! But looks like he got scared too!โ โY-Yeahโฆmaybeโฆs-s-someone could go t-talk with himโฆ?โ O: โOh! Get Golden or Copper to go talk with him mama!โ โT-That sounds like a g-good ideaโฆt-thanks Oswaldโฆโ
Finley watched Ames from below the surface of the water...he was scared, and unsure if he should even show his face again.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayShe hugged her plushie close as she still looked a bit freaked out.
He gasped and immediately dipped his head into the water, havibg been startled himself.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayWhen he spoke, she jumped in surprise. โEEP!!โ
"Sea serpents live in the sea...that's where I'm supposed to be..." He looks off to the side.
Majjy@mujuraofchaos.bsky.social ยท yesterday"That sounds like a very simple life. Wait. Belong? What do you mean by 'belong'?"
"...Not a very nice place...but I belong in the ocean...in my cave...just me and my seashells..."
Majjy@mujuraofchaos.bsky.social ยท yesterday"A sea serpent? Where are you from?"
"...That's a nice doll..." He spoke up, although might end up startling Ames and himself.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayFrom her backpack, the smol child pulled out the following lifelike plush:
Finley slowly swam over out of curiosity...he was curious to know what it was Ames had with her.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayAmes didnโt notice the sea serpent, her attention completely focused on her backpack at the current moment.
The sea serpent pauses for a moment, hesitantly but slowly peeking his head from the water at Ames.
Ames@cutestlilamesever.bsky.social ยท yesterdayAmes ends up finding the body of water heโs in, but she doesnโt know that heโs in there quite yet. The smol child sets down her large backpack and starts digging through it.
Going for a morning swim...by himself.
"I am a real sea serpent...a lonely one...a lonely sea serpent who just likes to collect seashells..." Finley kept his head low. It was still taking him time to warm up, but he'll get there.

I used to hear stories about them as a kid. How they protected our shores. But I'd never expected to see one up close!"
"...Finley..." That deep voice his, low and shy...he's lonely and hopes to meet more people, but alas, that shyness always takes over.

ค๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.@holyanoley.bsky.social ยท 2d ago"A sea serpent!" He exclaims... Loudly. He's heard legends, but never seen one before. "This is incredible. My name is Aslow, what's your name?"
