Aquaria giggled softly at the girl's enthusiastic response, waiting for the words too subside before choosing her own answer.
"Happy to meet you, Vita," She replied in her bubbling tone. "I'm Aquaria. I was born on these shores, yes. And I'm thinking to stay, to visit for a while. Perhaps to see if some of my kin still walk these parts. Do you have family here?" She asked, noting for the first time just how young the girl was. Old enough to be adventuring on her own, yes, but still young enough to benefit from a loving dam to return to at the end of the day.
Not that you ever got too old for that. Aquaria's own dam was as much a part of the sea as herself, but the elder nereid and her sea borne father roamed their own territory. It was a safe haven to visit with them whenever the loneliness got too cold. She was always welcome there, but they knew her well enough to know that she couldn't be held there long. Always, there was some new sea trench to explore, some new species of fish to follow and study and befriend. And now, there was the land, and it's half remembered secrets to remember.
As the her body slowly iguan accustoms itself to the steady ground, she finds herself preparing to go forth from this little landing spot. Perhaps this little bird girl would be her guide.
