Who: Cristiano, Juliet, and the Sullys! When: 11.4 Afternoon And Days to Come Where: Sully House What: Cris takes refuge with Juliet while their ocean kingdom becomes overrun by ghosts OPEN Low Rating
Cristiano sighed after he and Juliet had made it to the Sully homestead. It had felt like it took forever to get there and the merman hadn't stopped looking over his shoulder. The ghostly mers from his war-torn kingdom didn't seem to drift too far outside of the city. After a kilometer or two it was the quiet sea, sunken ships, and the couple. Cristiano had not released Juliet's hand the majority of the swim, both out of protection to his mate and for his own security. His long tail moved in slow but even swishes to bring them up the tunnels and to the main swimming area of the home.
It was comforting to know he had come here, that he had somewhere to go when he couldn't be in the kingdom any longer. That place was less lonely with Juliet's light, but it was still just the pair of them with visits from friends. What he wouldn't give to see another mer. One who understood him completely, from his home seas, who survived the war. He hated being ripped away, unable to do anything, safe and sound upon the shores of the island while his people were fighting for their lives.
At least he had new friends. At least he had Juliet. Her family was also very nice, though he had a stitch in his chest at the thought of being surrounded by so many. So Cristiano swallowed and surfaced with his own wary nature despite how quick or otherwise Juliet might have been. Like a fish in the reef checking for danger before poking out entirely to look up at the ceiling. Light reflected upon the stone and that comforting sound of water in a pool area washed around him. He sighed. Here he was, fish out of water, but at least he was safe and with good people.
