The subject of shoes and shopping was more interesting to Nita then discussion of Atlantean and Human relations (not that difficult actually, since the Atlanteans themselves were humanoid in appearance, and didn't have the fish fins that mermaids were shown to have). "Yes, straps. It is a shame, but so many nice boots crush the little wings." Oh the trials and tribulations of being Nita - she felt she bore it well however.
She looked between the twins and gave a quick shake of her head. "No, not just a story. And no not a mermaid, she was part human part and part Atlantean, and my father was Atlantean. They are not mermaids, they look, well." She looked between the twins. "Rather like people, but blue skin, gills." Green skin when you got to the Lemurians. But that was a whole other thing, and really shoes were much more interesting.
"So your from Quebec, is there good shopping there?" Hey, she might have to plan a visit!
