[That evening a song drifts over the network followed by the view of a dark siren . Unlike others that might be freaking out about this new change, Li was overjoyed by it! She was a creature meant to take different forms, even if this wasn't her original one, she was still thrilled she had one that was water bound and it showed in her voice as she sang, adding power to her voice to call others like her to where she was in Fayren, So far, she's only met one other siren and that gave her hope for there being others as she poured her desire to meet them into her song and hoped that they would heed her call. If not... at least she met one other siren and that would just have to be enough.]

[That night found Li on the shores of Fayren, waiting as her song was broadcast through the network and the surrounding area. Moonlight made the dark siren visible against the night as she rested on a rock, half in the water, half out as it played against her pale skin and dark hair. Li was being patient and really hoped that for once, she wasn't alone.

Her call was meant for other sirens but, who knows.. it might have pulled in more than Sirens...Li wasn't exactly an expert in this area of magic since it's far different from how she operated as a Kelpie.]

[ooc: Feel free to have her call work on whoever wants to answer it! Or ignore it, completely up to you!]

[Ryoma was..trying to learn how to swim. He was never really good at it back home, but if anyone knew him, they'd know that he was a hard worker and tried hard at everything.

And did them perfectly.

Not this time, though. Luckily the song guided him to Li and gasped]

Another..one? [Ryoma stared rudely, blushing but approached]

Your song was beautiful. Are you needing something..?

[Li was a little startled when a male answered her call and perked up a little. From what she could see, he wasn't doing too well with the swimming so she slipped off her rock into the water to join him and swim a quick circle around him.

Where he might be having troubles, Li was a natural.]

Thanks... I was hoping to meet others like me, so, thanks for answering the call.

[She smiled slightly before finally stopping in front of him. Where he might be staring and blushing, Li doesn't seem to notice or care what state she's in or he's in while they're in the water.]

From the looks of it, you're not used to swimming with fins, are you? I can help you if you like?

[..Oh wow she was a fast swimmer, and a grand one. Ryoma bowed a bit, but he caught himself off balanced]

Auh-yes. Please. I would be honored as I am more used to being a human. Are you a natural Siren, miss..?

Not quite.

[She grinned slightly.]

And relax, you're too tense. Your body should know what to do on instinct. Swimming is just as much apart of you as breathing right now and on that note, don't fear going beneath the waves. You can breathe down there as well as you breathe on land.

[She let her self sink beneath the waves for a moment just to show him it was fine.When she rose up, she stopped at the shoulders while her dark tail lazily moved beneath her.]

I'm a Kelpie naturally. The principal is the same, one type of creature in the water, human on land. The only real difference for me is the fact I haven't been able to do something like this in centuries and Sirens have more power in their voice and faster swimmers than Kelpie's are.

Oh, and sirens are humanoid, Kelpie's aren't.

[Okay, but consider this. Ryoma's always tense. But that's neither here nor there. He nodded, agreeing with her a bit]

I see. I have never heard of a Kelpie, but I'll take your word on it. You're a natural at this.

[It was weird taking deep breathes in the water. He wanted to cough out, but he couldn't. It was too much like air. Feeling himself a tad more balanced, Ryoma gave a small laugh at himself]

Having a tail is remarkably strange. Namely with no legs..

[But he tried to swim away. It was a bit better, however Ryoma flipped to his back instead like a dead fish] Ack-

[Then this is the perfect time for him to learn to relax. Just saying.]

We're from Scotland and Ireland initially so I guess if you've never been there, you might not have heard of us.

[She shrugs. Li was just happy to be in the water and swimming and at least Ryoma's benefiting from her patience and experience teaching other's how to swim instead of getting her usually cranky attitude.]

Try being used to having four legs on land and then getting in the water and either still having four legs or a tail like this.

[She swims after him and snickers when he ends up flipped over.]

Relax. Your tail needs to be able to move with the water to keep your balance. Think of it like... it's something similar to how a bird moves in the wind. You know, feeling the world around them and adjusting accordingly. I've seen them do it enough over the years that it's kind of like swimming, only in the air.

[Yeah, he didn't know where those places are..or were. Taking in a hesitant breathe of water, Ryoma kicked his tail fin to at least get himself upright. Holding his head]

Okay.. okay. Like a bird, then. Adjusting yourself..and to the waves.

[his tail kicked, suddenly bobbing up and then back down, feeling more comfortable, the Prince nodded] Okay, let me try again. Your patience is a gift.

[closing his eyes for a moment, Ryoma swam forward, with a lot more ease now. It was still awkward but when he stopped, he stopped and raised himself straight] Better..? Better.

[Li nodded and backed off a little to give him space. As he was focusing and righting himself, she was watching to make sure he didn't somehow get himself hurt. It wouldn't be hard to see she's done this before with how she had patience for someone learning to swim for the first time.]

Much better! The rest just comes with practice and in no time you'll be zipping around beneath the waves as if you were born here.
