Her memories were beads jumbled loose in a box
Her eyes were almost glued to the sunset, watching it with a faint, dream-like smile on her face. It was spectacular and one of her favorite parts about living in the ocean, but then something caught her eye. Out of the corner of her vision a human popped up and she turned her head towards him ever so slightly, just in time to hear his concerned voice speak to her. He didn't seem the most confident, but was also very nice and respectful. The boy reminded her much of Quanil, the storyseeker kid. Though, this one did have a pretty cute object with him.
That pretty little thing was just enough to grab Delta's attention. "Of course I'm okay, why do you ask?" Did he not notice she was a mermaid? Figures. "What is that with you? The thing that was fanned out, but then you made it not fan out?" Parasols didn't exactly survive in the ocean, leaving behind the skeletal remains of the metal that typically made them up, so obviously Delta was interested in finding out more. Clearly, she wasn't bothered about his concern and was far more interested in pushing on to new and far better subjects.
