Roshan continued on with his impromptu concert, his surprising skill at the leaf whistle drawing in a few curious squirrels and birds. His thoughts were successfully focused on the quick switches between notes, that he didn’t immediately notice a new member had joined his audience.

[color=#FFB7C5]"Roshi!"[/color] A playful voice called out to him. Roshan tried not to immediately smile at the sound of Nieve’s teasing.

[color=#848B79]"Ha, guess I was kind of obvious,"[/color] he replied with a small, nervous laugh. Sometimes he questioned why he even bothered coming to these festivals in the first place if he was going to spend his energy on avoiding the human servants. For a near-hermit such as himself though, it was a good way to gather information and to see those he cared about.

He turned to meet her gaze, but felt his brain sputter for a split second as he finally took notice of her outfit. It wasn’t the pants that surprised him, but the exposed stomach. Technically, selkies probably usually wore even less when at sea, but it was a sight he wasn’t expecting of her human appearance. He quickly recomposed himself, or at least he tried to, but in that same split second he was taken aback as Nieve splashed him.

As the water obscured his vision for the other half of that split second, Roshan misstepped on the edge of his skirt, throwing off his balance as he fell backwards into the fountain. [i]Great.[/i] Here he was showing Nieve his wet appearance [i]again[/i]. Was this just to be his fate for the rest of time?

[color=#848B79]"I, uhh… I thought I was past my swimming days,"[/color] he joked weakly. The wet strands of hair that fell across his face were cold against his burning skin, flush with embarrassment. Roshan best prepare himself now, as he got the feeling he was never gonna live this down.
