Even if I knew my place
Who: Otter and Satu
Where: The river
When: 2:30 p.m.
Unlike his siblings Otter wasn't big on spending every spare moment of time at, on or in the river that their house was located next to. Oh sure he'd go there on the full moon with his mom because he didn't like being left out, but it wasn't his 'go to' spot. Doubly so because the last time he'd dealt with something that came out of it it'd been that mermaid and she'd been all bloody and in the end there'd been an ambulance and it was just not pretty with capital letters all across the board. He still had nightmares about that and he was aware that the mermaid was totally okay since Roxy knew her. Nightmares that he wasn't about to share with anyone because the last thing he needed was to get made fun of by his brothers. Or worse, sisters. Taima was just the sort and he wouldn't put it past Liseli if she was in a bad mood. Oz, well, Oz was Oz and would mock him for any and everything.
Today though, he'd decided that he'd go to the river with Sitala because she wanted to and she didn't want to go alone. Rather than just sending her with one of his siblings he'd gone along and was now dangling his feet from the branch he had settled on while counting the flowers on the other side of the river. The Niemi side of the river. Otter hadn't been over to the Niemi place anytime but when the whole family was invited for dinner and he was okay with that. The kid nearest his age was Valterri and he was sorta weird, really into hockey, and then Satu and she was closer to Delsin really. Plus she was very weird just in general. She made him more uncomfortable than a lot of other people so he avoided her. Avoided all of them, except Mrs. Niemi because she was too nice, really. Okay, Kajsa seemed cool, but Dagmar had dated Oz and Leif was downright frightening like Mr. Niemi had been. 'You think about the weirdest things,' Sitala told him from where she was stalking a crayfish. 'Wonder what they think about you.'
"Probably nothing flattering." Though wasn't Mrs. Niemi involved with Mr. Krasner? Maybe they liked earth elementals.
