Now if Ken was dressed and had the money pouch of the Syl'rosyan Blue-Blood he was supposed to be, he would have quickly wrinkled his nose at the sight of this overwashed-up joint and quickly get the feth out before he ruined his fancy elven silk twinkle toes. Too bad, he had the blood, just not the former and latter. With peanuts in his wallet and a pair of unfancy boots bought from some Imperian stall for a ripped off price of 20 crowns, Ken continued to wade through the two feet slosh, grabbing whatever was offered to him.
Gods the beer wasn't just terrible it was terribad, and it made Ken suddenly felt like going back home to his big tree and suck on Moonwillow's own brew,
Prismquisst, no matter how bored to death he was with it. But he sucked it up anyway, knowing full well once he passed the sober stage, any beer will taste more or less the same. Besides, he wanted to fit it. Yelling a few good hearted profanities back at his new found drinking buddies, Ken was about to make himself at home when,
she appeared.
He had heard rumors of this Nereid, but he had assumed it to be some stone statue, sort of those little figurines where you pour or gave offerings of liquor for superstitious good luck and fortune. He didn't quite expect the Nereid to be a real living
thing. And naked!
He gulped his drink, feeling it skip a thorax and hit the pit of his belly. For every inch she neared, he inched away further. After his very-eventful experience in Kk'trabar, Ken had become a little paranoid of this sea people, and this is a sea-woman to boot! Nevermind Kk'trabar but momma always warned him about the flashy ladies.
"Well for starters hun, you should go get two large oyster shells to cover them....." Ken paused, and for lack of a better word continued,
"... pearlies," he said, nudging a chin towards those strange assets on the chest he could never have. No denying, like a typical male Ken's eyes were affixed at those. The only difference was, his had zero lust, just loads of fear with maybe just a tint of curiosity.
OOC: Wait whaaaat? *hic* :D
Anyway I can't tell the difference between a Nereid and a Mermaid. Do Nereid's have fish tails too or human legs... or something else?
