"No, humans will never be equal to the sea creatures. Humans are greedy and will do anything to make a dollar. They'll hurt anything or anyone that stands in their way. Sea creatures are so pure and kind. They don't mean anyone any harm. Even sharks are just looking for someway to survive, to find their next meal.", Alex said sadly.

OOC: The group that Alex is with is way out into the ocean, past where the waves break. Alex had been surfing before the mermaids came and started talking to him.

IC: Alex's eyes widened at Raine's acceptance of him. "Thank you. Your trust means a lot to me. I won't break it.", he said in all seriousness. He then smiled, happy to have regained his friend.

Alex had seen the necklace fall and hit the water with a small splash. Without hesitation, he dove down after it. He pumped his legs at a furious pace, trying to reach the necklace. When he was fifteen or so feet down, he knew that if he went any further, he wouldn't have air to make it back up. Reluctantly, he turned around and swam for the surface, but not before noticing where the necklace had fallen to. With a gasp, he came burst from the water into fresh, but salty air. "I couldn't catch it, but I did see where it went.", he told Dasia. He himself was wearing a necklace carved by his mother. It had a small pendant of a wave that was encircled.

"Nice to meet you.", Alex replied, "I'm Alex,", and following the mermaids he said, "Alexander Nicolas Lilao." He noticed Isabelle's unhappy look and how she was quietly scooting away and softly asked, "What's wrong?" He awaited an answer from the mermaid.

"I don't know.", Alex replied thoughtfully. "I really honestly don't, but I'm glad to be this way, I wouldn't change who I am even if I could.", he said. It was odd. Although the mermaids were strange and foreign to him, he felt closer to them, especially to Isabelle, than he had to any other being he'd met, besides his parents.

OOC: I've got to go! Sorry

"You're very strange, Alex." Isabelle sighed.

"Er, thank you, I think?", Alex managed with a small smile. His board bobbed slowly in the water as he began thinking. His mother would be starting to worry, he was usually home by now, but he was sure it would be fine.

Alex grinned, happy to be the one answering questions instead of asking them for once. "Yes, I do have a family. I live with my mom, dad, and also my baby sister, Lily. We live in a house, not too far off the beach." After thinking for a moment, he asked Isabelle, "What do you do for fun?", in a curious tone. He'd never really thought about it, but mermaids would surely have some type of hobby or entertainment.

"Violet.", Sparkstar repeated. "You do realize you are on MistClan territory, do you not?", she asked. Sparkstar wasn't quite sure how to handle this situation yet as she didn't know the she-cat's intentions.

Skyheart smiled softly. He realized he had been referring to Solarstar and not the sky. He gazed up at the beautiful sunset as the golden sun sank beneath the treeline. The sky looked as if it were painted in the bright hues of a water color. The crimson reds melded with salmon pinks and a hint of blue here and there. It was a trully breathtaking sight.

"Indeed I am. What brings you here?", Sparkstar asked. She took notice of Violet's struggles to remove her collar. A lost kittypet,, she thought, She may just be looking for a home.

Alex listened to Isabelle, fascinated by this way of life. As she displayed her jewelry and shell woven hair to him, he nodded. She was truly beautiful. His hair had finally dried out from being splashed earlier, even thought the rest of him was fairly soaked from being in the water most of the day. Struck with a sudden idea, he offered, "Would you like to come meet my family? They'll never know you're a mermaid. I can say that you are just...a friend I met on the beach." He smiled then, because the statement wasn't completely untrue as he did actually meet her at the beach.

Sparkstar nodded thoughtfully. "If you are willing, you may join MistClan, but you must first prove your loyalty over a period of time. We won't fully accept you into the Clan until then. You can learn the ways of Clan life and the warrior code.", she said, extending her offer.

OOC: Hold on, are Isabelle and Dustin going to have a relationship? Because if so, I can change my last post to just say, "I'll see you later" or something.

OOC: So should we just continue on and find out later, or wait until we know for sure if he will be active? I'm good either way.

OOC: Will do.

IC: Alex grinned, "Alright, let's go and get you some more suitable clothes, then we can head out." Alex realized just how much trust Isabelle was giving him right now and it meant a lot to him. He laid down flat on his board and began paddling back towards the shore. The waves were much calmer now than they had been, which made it easier to ride a small wave to the sandy beach.

Alex stood from the water, carrying his surfboard with him. Turning, he waited to see if Isabelle would need help walking or not. He remembered how unsteady she had been last time on land and didn't want her stumbling and getting hurt again. He balanced the surfboard on it's tail, his left foot barely in the water.

Alex watched Isabelle's walking skills. She had improved greatly since last time. "You're doing great! We can head over to the beach store just by my house. I'm sure you'll be able to find something you like there.", he said. Alex always kept a watertight bag of his important items in his swimtrunk's pocket. It contained his cell phone, wallet, and any other small, but essential items. He began walking towards the store, careful not to get ahead of Isabelle.

Sparkstar nodded. "Then welcome to MistClan. I'm sure, in time, as you learn, you will become one of our great warriors. Let us return to camp." Aside to Hollydrop she whispered, "Meet me in my den later, we will discuss why you ran from camp."

Alex lead the way off the beach, onto the side walks around town. He came to a stop at the street and after glancing both ways, motioned for Isabelle to follow. There were no cars to be seen as it was close to sunset and this was a less populated area. With purpose, he lead Isabelle to the beachstore, its bright neon signs and cheerful slogans glaring from the windows. He stepped aside and quickly held the door open for Isabelle.

OOC: I've got to go for a little while, but I'll be on later. :)

Alex smiled at Isabelle. "Pick out whatever you'd like.", he informed her. "I've got enough to cover it." The beach store held all of the beach stlye clothes. Tangtops, shorts, and teeshirts hung on the shelves, all emblazened with various logos and names. He himself grabbed a regular navy blue tee-shirt and a pair of knee-length khaki shorts from a nearby shelf. The inside of the store was plastered with merchandise and signs, trying to tempt customers into buying.
