What a rude child! All she said was hi, she should give him a piece of her mind!
Instead, Marmalade listened quietly to the young boy as he spouted his vehemence. She looked down, unsure of why he was so angry with the humans. What did he mean by, 'see their stains'? Could it be that he was part mermaid too? Yes! That had to be it! He must have seen worse than she did when she was younger. Perhaps a similar mind could help him see they weren't all that bad? She giggled a little bit as he calmed himself down enough for a simple greeting.

[color=f7941d]"You know, not all humans are terrible beasts that destroy everything they touch. My mother took care of me and tried to raise me the same as my brother. He loves and takes care of me. They are two of the kindest people I have ever known. It was everyone else that made life difficult."[/color] Mara nudged the boy slightly, she had seen the group start to go after the boy, but she felt it was all probably just a misunderstanding. [color=f7941d]"Say, kid, what is your name?"[/color]

[H1][color=0072bc]Kest[/color][/h1]

Kest's stared at the ground paralyzed with fear. What did he say? Did he really just tell her to marry him?! His chances with her were surely gone now! There is no way any woman would want to date someone that would say something so irrational. All his hopes and dreams, dashed! He would have to leave town, maybe change his name...

[color=0072bc][b]What did she say?[/b][/color]
Startled, he looked at Veragwen. She was acting.. embarrassed? She said she would go out with him. It took a moment to register, leaving Kest looking a little dumbfounded. Once it registered, his look of surprise was immediately replaced by a huge smile. Without thinking, he picked Veragwen up by her waist and spun her around. He looked into her eyes as he set her back down but then looked away, blushing.
[color=0072bc]"I would love to stay with you for the rest of this evening."[/color]
Finally, his dreams were coming true!
