Hearing the exclamation, Charlene beamed at the women on the shore as they started in to join her. Now why had her mother and pod always been so against them seeing humans? Well, when they were fishermen and they had been messing with their nets it made sense that they would be a little upset, but everyone else... except that hunter girl who had decided to try killing her. A shudder ran down Charlene's spine at the memory and she pushed it away, focusing instead on Roxy and Kat as they made their way out to her. No need to worry about them drowning or being unable to swim since hello, they were penguins. Water was as much home to them as it was her, or pretty damn close.
Though the comment about her singing for Kat brought a bit of a frown and Charlene shook her head. "Only if she wants," she corrected Roxy when they were in range. The last thing that she needed to do was upset Kat by making her do something she did not want to. And that's what mermaids were particularly good at, getting people to do things they might not otherwise. Unless they were particularly strong-willed. Thinking back on when she had first met Roxy, Charlene felt herself smirking and drifting closer to her girlfriend. "Or I could show how well you listen to my song. Think it's funny."
