Letting another bubble out, she watched another color splash on the wall. She was working on something and wanted to call it "Mesh of colors" since different colors were just splashed on her wall. She hadnt gone up to the surface today because she wasnt in the best of moods to deal with the surface dwellers. She looked down at her bracelet and just turned it sideways out of nothing better to do. Pulling out her father's bracelete she threw it in the air, while laying herself down on her bed.

She entered her home her arms filled with an assortment of things she had gotten. She hummed as she let them fall onto the table. And she began to put them away. It had been a few days since she had last seen Nelaysa. But she suspected she had went to the surface again and met with the mysterious boy that she had spoken of. It was nto unusual for their kind to venture to the surface, she too had done it once or twice herself. But since her last visit she had stayed put. She couldnt stand the heartache once more. She pulled something out of a drawr and ran her hand over it and sighed, "Fate was not with us."

She caught the bracelet on the descent and sat up. She'd just heard her mother enter. She moved to the door and poked her head through to see what she had gotten and then stepped out. She eyed some of the assortment, and moved against the wall watching her. "Why do you shop so much? We already have enough, mom."

She jumped slightly when she heard Nelaysa's voice. She placed the article back intot eh drawer and turned around smiling, "I have nothing better to do Nel. Besides these are for the new potions I need to make. Only problem is I need somethign from the surface. Where have you been as of late? with that boy again?"

"Yes there is. You can try opening your own business, try to learn how to fight. Meet someone. You've been by yourself since I was born and I dont see the point. She crossed her legs staring at her. "Yes, I've been with that boy, and that boy has a name. It's Dalon, and that boy is my boyfriend." She shook her head.

"Open my own buisness? What ever would I open?" She loved her daughter's enthusiasm at times, but there were things in her life that she didnt know about. "As for fighting Nel, how can you be so sure that I can't?" She moved to the table pulling out many ingredients and placed them in groups, 'Dalon is it? Thats the first time I've heard his name. But ti is good you have found someone Nel." She ahd deliberatly ignored the comment about finding someone. She was alone for a reason and she liked it that way.

She shrugged her shoulders. "Use your head, mom. You'll figure something out. You could always open a brothel, we both know how the men in this city stare at you when you pass by." She laughed to herself, and threw her father's bracelet in the air again, hearing it click against her own. "You cant stay shopping for the rest of your life. How come you've never tried to find someone? And dont say something like, "I have you to think about first and foremost," because I'm 50 and I'm old enough to know better."

She sighed and looked up at Nelaysa, "We'll see Nel. And no it wont be a brothel. The men can stare all they like. But thats all they are getting." She looked up when she saw her throw the braclet in the air. It looked vaguely familiar to her, like she had seen it before. She shrugged and pulled other thigns out of the bags, "Is it so hard to believe that I like my life? And that I like being alone. Besides there has never been another who could take the place of your father." She looked up adn smiled, "Yes you can take care of yourself, you do a god job of it at times."

She raised her eyebrow. "I know I can take care of myself. It's all I've ever done, since I was old enough to fight. You know how the other water spirits view me. Mostly because of my father." She shrugged her shoulders. "They were all just jealous because I could do so much more with my abilities and can do a million times more things that they can ever do." She shook her head. "Its hard to believe when I've walked in on you crying at times, and you make pretend everything's alright." She let water form on her hand, and started to move it between her hands.

She sighed and stopped her unpacking, "They never understood why I was with him. They shunned me as well when i came back to the city. But one thing I learned from him was that in order to survive in our world today is to not let it show on the outside how it affects you on the inside. But you are right, they are jealous. Because you are something more then they are. Our kind hate change Nel." She sighed, "I do not cry because I dislike my life. It is because i miss what my life almost was." She turned away and began to shelve things not wanting Nelaysa to see the sadness in her eyes.

"I know that. I've lived locked away in this city for 50 years. And I still dont understand for what reason? You know me better than anyone and you knew I was going to go to the surface eventually."She sighed a bit and sat on the table, placing her elbow on the table and her chin on the palm of her hand. She put the bracelet on the table and just played with it. "It's never too late to get the life you almost had. No point in locking yourself up in here. Why do that when you go to the surface and meet so many diverse creatures."

"I only kept you here until I thought you'd be ready to face the dangers up there. It's not a picnic and it certainly is not for one of the faint of heart. I knew you'd go and I had never intended of stoping you from going." She turned back to the able going to pick something up, when again she saw the braclet. She couldn;t get it out of her midn at how familiar it looked, "I can't become what i once was Nel. And I dont think I'll be going up anytime soon...Where'd you get that?" She pointed to the braclet her hand shaking as she slowly recognized it.

"Could have fooled me. Some of the things you said during that time were pretty harsh." She sighed a bit and leaned forward to get a bag of a candy and opened it, sticking some gummy peaches in her mouth. "It's your lost, mom. You're missing out. I should tell you that I'm planning to move up there soon." She ate another gummy peach. "It was given to me."

"I tried to deter you from going at first but your like me in many ways. Stubborn and defiant. Traits you also got from him." She sat down slowly, "I am missing nothing and yes I assumed you would." She picked up the charm and looked at it, eyes it carefully, slowly she turned it over. She had never new who sent Nelaysa her own braclet but it had been familiar to her. Now she knew why, "Desther..."

"No point in listening to authority when it's wrong. And we both know that Mayor Ceilor is probably the most corrupt person in this city." She laughed. "Although he seems to have a great time looking at you. I've even sworn I've heard him tell people that you'll marry him someday." She staretd laughing while chewing. "Can you imagine? Dalania Ceilor? Awful, if you ask me." She turned away and looked at the clock then turned back to see her mother with the bracelet. "Desther?"
