Ace grinned proudly when the kid finally looked at them. She watched as the kid swam toward them in an odd excitement. Excited to see humans? That was new. Who was ever excited to see boring humans? Ace shrugged the thought away and laughed a little. "Weird folks? What did we do to get such a punishment?" She allowed the girl to prod at her arms, not phased by the contact. Suddenly, she was pulled into an unexpected hug. "So much for staying dry." She mused, pulling her shirt down. In realization, she then grinned playfully and poked at Harper's shoulders. "And you two were scared to get her~." The red head doubted the other two would've gotten her attention without her. 

[i]"Did you want to play?"[/i] 
The offer sounded nice, but she decided it was time to let the professionals do their business. Maybe afterward, she could have a little fun. The thought was short lived when sadness replaced the excitement in her voice. 

At that point, Jasper had joined them in the water. She scooted over to let Jasper stand in between them. Ace was paying a little more attention, trying to make sure she was of [i]some[/i] help to the group, besides getting into trouble. 

[i]"She wasn't a witch...Serena was drowned because she saw something she wasn't supposed to."
"She died because of them." [/i]

"Another clue to this crazy puzzle..." Ace spoke softly. Unless the kid was lying, or in fact a 'bad person', there was a second party to the deaths. The former seemed highly unlikely. A friend of the now 'supposed' person who had been killing off the civilians. There were many pieces to the puzzle, but how would did they fit together? 

[i]""What did she see... and... who's them?"[/i] 

Jasper asked the question that more than likely rolled through all of their minds. Who were the people that killed the Siren- Serena. The lights in the girl's hair flickered off and Ace's curiosity led her to reach forward to touch it. As she got close, she paused, realizing it would be a little rude to do so while she was sad. Instead, Ace decided on something else. 

"What's your name kid?" She knew it would probably a lot more complicated to get information with a teary eyed child. Ace thought it would be best to at least lighten her mood. "You wanna know something?" Ace leaned forward and smiled. "I'll tell you two somethings. One: You have a really, really pretty voice. And two," Ace paused, lowering her voice as though it was a secret. She knew that if she spoke lower the girl would have know choice but to pay full attention in order to hear. "The only reason we're asking... Is to know the truth. Think of us as the good guys okay? We want to discover what really happened so Serena isn't accused of being a witch anymore. Don't you want people to know she was a really nice lady?" 

With that, Ace stood straight again and then glance over her two partners before looking at the girl again, waiting for a response.
