One Seashell - Action

[upthere]

[When Ariel burst out of the sea, she had expected to still be in the water. What she wasn't expected was to be stuck up in a tree.

At least, she thinks it's called a tree. Whatever it is, she's stuck in it, and the ground is pretty far beneath her.

She leans over to cling to the trunk of the tree and stares down, wondering how she got up here and how to get down and - and is that... is that the ground?

Then she... She's on the land?

Ariel slowly looks over to her legs. Legs. Legs! She can't help stretching one out, and the shock on her face turns into elation. It worked! The spell worked! Oh, she has to find Eric now! She -

She's so happy that she very nearly falls out of the tree, and she holds tightly to the trunk again. Yeaaah, she should. Probably not move much right now, even for Eric.

Maybe someone will come along...]

[You're so confusing new girl.]

Did you still need help?

[At that, she bites her lip and looks away, then nods slightly as she looks back at Ran Fan again. Her eyes are a little wide, just go get that pleading expression across. Please help? She could really use it, seeing how she's never... put on a shirt before. Or pants. What are pants, even.]

[This is just so confusing for Ran Fan, but she tries to help. She looks around and grabs some random items, cause what is fashion? This is probably the worst team-up ever.]

How about these? They look warm enough for right now.

[Ariel pauses, giving the clothes a blank look before nodding. Yeah, sure! Those work! Ariel would rather go for something more elegant, but she's not quite sure how people dress in the human world. Maybe it's like this!]

[Oh Ariel. Ran Fan was the wrong person for this. She couldn't help you at all. These jut looked like they fit and keep her warm.]

You can go change back there.

Ch... ange...?

Ariel stares blankly for a moment before she slowly comes to the realization that yes, Ran Fan meant the clothes. That must be how humans refer to it.

And... she has to do it herself.

... Aaaaah how does one get into these things? She tilts her head and looks down at the clothes, then looks at Ran Fan's, then her own... Maybe it goes like this? Hmm. It doesn't seem too hard.

She is grateful, though, so to show her appreciation, Ariel smiles wide before she leans over to kiss Ran Fan's cheek. It's the only way she can think of how to show her thanks without gesturing wildly, at least. After she does that, she slowly lets go of Ran Fan, then wobbles a bit unsteadily as she makes her way to the dressing room.

SHE CAN DO THIS. SHE CAN DO THIS.]

[askjfgjfgtwejbfsdds WHAT EVEN?!?! Ran Fan's brain just broke. A kiss? How is she even supposed to react to that? This was not how they thanked people in Xing.

So, while Ariel went to try to change, Ran Fan stood there awkwardly. People from this other girl's world were strange. But, she couldn't act like this forever, so she'll act normal the second Ariel comes back.

Nope. Never awkward.]
