Re: Wash and Ariel
"Scarlett's pretty nice! She and I bonded over not being able to keep our faces from sharing how bored we are in official meetings and stuff," Ariel replied, always happy to share about everything and anything that she had any experience with. And she had lots of experience with being too expressive.
"It's nice to meet you, Wash! I like your name. It's easy to remember. Do you have anything special or different? Stephen does magic, but not around Scarlett because she can turn magic off! And I'm a mermaid but I got legs because I made a deal with a sea witch and then I got taken here so Death made my legs permanent and gave me my voice back. It was really hard to communicate with people, but Riddick and Frank, that's my best friend and my guardian who went home, they were really good at it. I don't think Scarlett and Stephen would be very good at it though. so It's probably for the better that I got my voice."
