Judas missed the water. He missed free swimming, and as much as he might now like his tail, he enjoyed the deep blue sea aspect of it. He also missed running. He used to do it way before his life went to ashes and he got Sabriel. He had loved it, and now that he got a day off he decided that he should do the things that he misses most. Sabriel was being looked after by Basil for their day out, and he didn't want to sit around at home. He wouldn't do running today, he'd simply walk to the his favourite place. The waterfall was a truly spectacular place. It was beautiful and there were barely any people there. It let into the sea, and he liked that. The seclusion of it because he would hate for anyone to see what he is. His tail. Even though he knew he should grow used to the tail, the merman simply couldn't. Some might say that that might reflect onto his opinion on his daughter's tail, but they couldn't be more wrong. He would never want her to hate a single aspect of herself. Judas was the way he was because of the parents he knew about nine years ago.

He took his phone just in case something happened with Sabriel, because he could never be too careful. The walk to the waterfall really was quite long, but Judas enjoyed the burn in his calves. He rolled his shoulders a little to simply stretch them, not having had time to worry about his own body so much in the last few weeks. Taking in a deep breath he was so glad that the weather today would be nice all day. He'd hate to be walking and it would start raining, and his tail would make an appearance. What an uncomfortable thing, that even a sliver of water makes it appear. It could happen in the middle of a busy street if you don't find shelter quickly enough. Judas has been unfortunate to have been pushed into a water fountain in the middle of the museum. He had been shaken up, and he hated that the vampire who he held a hate for was the one to help him. The one to make everyone forget. Of course, after he got lots of fish jokes, and then people wonder why he has low self esteem when it comes to his tail. It is much easier to believe people if they say bad things rather than good.

Running hand through the strands of his hair - longer than usual because he hadn't even had time to think about cutting it - Judas took a winding path down the forest. It was familiar now, but he'd need to take another turning off the main path just so no one would bother him. He doesn't want anyone to see. He does so, winding between tree's, branches breaking under his feet. He had a backpack on his back, a towel in there because he'd need to be completely dry for him to get his legs back. He had learned to be completely prepared for everything.Or, as much as anyone could be. The breeze blew cool but he didn't care, because the water would be just right for him the moment he grew his tail. Sometimes people wonder how fish don't get cold, and the scales make it so they're about the same coolness as the water, counterbalancing any coldness.

Once there, Judas put his bag under a small hollow in a rock, stripping quickly he still felt self conscious of being naked in such an outside place, yet the water would be hiding him. Throwing his clothes on his bag, Judas' skin prickled with multicoloured goose-bumps because of his tattoo's. The tattoo's were the only thing he really liked about himself. Because they were a part of him and his choice to be a part of him, and no one could take that away. The first step into the water was freezing, but ten seconds later the transition from legs to tail happened and the water felt just right. With a satisfied huff, he moved to sink under the water, head and shoulders too, before he swam. He swam like he hadn't in the longest time, directing with his arms and tail. This is the only thing that he could appreciate about the curse.That he had freedom to roam the waters so openly.

[AQUANA EVANGELINA ADRASTOS]

Rolling her shoulders a sigh escaped her lips an ever growing headache pressing against her skull. What was it about people and not being able to do simple tasks , was it that hard to understand simple things. apparently in this day and age it was. So all Aquana would have to do is slowly go over everything with a fine tooth comb and hope that they actually understood what she was saying. Yeah that would be a blessing if there ever was one , so with out wasting anymore time , rising from her desk she would gather her things and head out the door. Knowing that if she stayed much longer instead of having people to work for her she would end him firing them all and just have to waste time trying to rehire more people. Who wanted to do that truly it was a waste of time and effort. With her eyes glancing around watching them work a small grin graced her features. They feared her which worked for Aquana because she wanted her company to prosper and not settle. Who liked to settle be less then what you could be. Aquana hated that humans managed to settle. It made them less of themselves why would anyone want to do that.

With a final nod she would pause at the exit then turn back to everyone with a cold expression on her face. " I'm leaving now I accept all of this work to be done when I come back in the morning, If it's not well don't even bother coming back the next day." Not wasting time trying to hear if they had anything to say , she would slip out the door and towards her car. Rubbing her head once more a sigh would escape her lips. Why were things seeming so complicated at the moment. Nothing really new had happened in her life so why were things becoming so overwhelming. Driving along the streets her eyes flicked around. Taking in everything from the single car driving into the opposite direction, to a happy couple walking down the street. It was funny that people could just take joy in the simple things , why would anyone want to do that. Not want more , money power those were what made people , made them strong and not weak. With a shake of her head she pulled into her condo as rested her head on the steering wheel. Maybe just a break from all of this would help.

Drey was the first thought that came into her mind , but she knew that Drey also had important things to do so she wouldn't bother her at the moment. Having had her help already with expanding her company , the least she could do was give her time to herself. Eyes would glance out the window her fingers gently grazing her own arms. An urge to go and swim was calling to her , not having done that in a long time maybe now was the time to do it. With a slow breathe escaping her lungs, Trekking to the closet going though her clothes to wear for the beach. A simple summer dress with a bikini would work for her. Slipping into that outfit then grabbing a towel and placing it in her beach bag, she would just nod and head out to her car once again.

Tossing her things in her passenger bag, the radio would turn on to the classic musical station. The soft piano drifting though her car as she made her way to the ocean. Seeing the ocean close a small relaxed smile graced her rather tense features. Pulling into a spot she would slip out of her car with her bag and make her out into the sand. The taste and smell of the salt water touching her lips gently. A please hum escaping her lips as she stripped her bottoms and dress placing them in the bag as well, her toes touching the water as she dove into the welcoming embrace of the sea. Feeling her body shift into her true form , her head would rise from the water as she glanced around.

An eyebrow would raise as she saw someone else in the ocean , he was like herself but not from her family. It seemed like the mermaid population was growing and she hadn't know that. Not wanting to waste time she would swim towards him , a profession business smile gracing her features. Stopping a few feet away from him. Her eyes would take in his features with a calculating glance. I don't think I have ever seen you before , are you new to town. ?"
