After struggling with texting Cristiano made his way in toward the shore. He wasn't sure where on the beach to meet with Juliet so he swam straight in to somewhere near the area he had seen her and Kytana disappear to before. He wasn't sure, either, if he should be worried about meeting Juliet's brother or not. He had no ill intentions for the mermaid, that was for sure, and he was usually pretty calm in front of others. Still, just because he was a merman didn't mean meeting parents or siblings or friends was any less of a big deal. But they weren't dating. He was just the new guy and this had been planned before he had been kissed by her.
So he decided not to stress about it.
Moving in toward land, Cristiano swam in until the water at the outward pull of the tide couldn't allow him to swim. He nudged up on his tail a few feet before stopping and settling back like a human might kneel with their rear on their heels. This was as far as he would, or could, go. Any farther and he would be, as they say, beached.
Not something he was going to willingly put himself into even for Juliet. Not when he was still so frightened of humans. He needed to be able to get away if need be. What if her twin was not as kind as one hoped? Or something else arrived? Cristiano wouldn't allow himself to be cornered like that. So he looked around once more and then waved to the blonde in the distance. "Juliet! Here!" Already in the sun he was comfortable and awkward. When was the last time he'd even gone up to the surface? Juliet hadn't seen him in the sun, that was true. He was even more tan in the natural sunlight, his wet hair dark and slicked back by the same hand he had waved with.
