"Well, yeah, I've seen a fair bi' o' it all. But I still haven't seen e'rythin'."
The ocean was vast, after all. And deep, too. The depths were rather scary... Even for him.
"Ya really wanna go down there?"
"The ocean is really pretty! Now that I live near it I want to be able to explore it"
She seemed to drift off in thought a .oment bwfore looking back at him.
" I bet youve explored a ton of it!"
@whereskymeetsea approached: " i was pretty mean back then, wasn't i? " <- said with a chill yet slightly smug grin. yea. mean. she kicked his ass severely
"...Yeah, actually. Ya were." He hasn't forgotten the massive ass-kicking, no. "Ya still smug 'bout it, hmm? Well, no matter. I needed it a' the moment."
@livingshinycharm entered Plumeria's bathroom unauthorized: "Lady clothes pockets dont have a space to hold a pokeball or a chapstick... Ijust wanna hold my phone and a bag of skittles in my pocket man...."
"Uh-huh. That's nice 'n all but I dun think ya are allowed to be in here--" He's still in his merfolk form, curled up in Plumeria's bathtub, which he has been told is the best one of the house.
This is kinda awkward, and yet he has some advice? "I think ya should jus' bite 'em."
Never said it was good advice.
@aelirus liked for a starter:
Okay the aura of this dude is kinda off. Archie for once doesn't really know where to start. "...Nice uh. Crobat. Got me one o' those too."
He coughs nervously.

"Oh, one second for the cameras! Our stars at home were wondering if you were still planning anything nefarius after so, so many years, but most importantly want to know: have you beaten the Magical Creature allegations after being caught staying underwater for up to half an hour?" 🎤
"Hmm? Nefarious? Nah, not really." He doesn't seem bothered by the questions at all.
"Magical Creature allegations? BWAHAHHA!! That, my friend, is simply a skill issue on landlubbers' parts."
"An hour or two? Think ya can manage that?"
Man, this is the most fun he's had the past few days (being stuck in a room was so fucking boring).
"Reasonable, yeah? An' don't go runnin' from me. That's no' fair." He grins wide, razor sharp teeth clearly visible.
"How 'bout we get to know each other a li'l bit? I feel like chattin'. Maybe I'll answer yer questions if yer extra nice."
@nolongeraqualeader
"Double dog dare ya t'be nice t'me." He's smirking like a lil jerk right now. [ funny dares ; ACCEPTING ]
OH THIS MOTHERFUCKER.
"How long."
He's grumbling-- nah, that was straight up a growl.
"Give me a time limit. And if ya try to go for double digits hours I'm throwin' ya to the Muk pool."
hey, he didn't say he'd throw him out forever! that's being nice!
"Warned ya." Can't kick him out for this then, right? He leans in closer... and bites his neck.
What's with this tension lads.
"What?"
He's leaning closer. Let's pretend he's doing it to assert dominance or whatever.
"Scared?"

Archie is probably like some weird uncle to Sapphire despite everything that happened. Takes her on fishing / diving trips and the like.
Sapphire knows about the merfolk dealio. I feel like Archie told her after the team disbanded.
"..."
"Ya suck at bein' nice, huh."
His cheek fins droop a bit. Hm. Now this is just akward. "Ya hate me that much?" Guess he's used to it. Part of it was probably deserved, and yet...
"'Kay, hear me out: if I give ya one free punch will ya stop bein' so fuckin', iunno. Tensed up?"
"Uhu, sure."
Oh, great. Smalltalk. His fucking favorite.
He starts dangling backwards, looking around, keeping in a sigh. Oh my goooood this is annoying.
His leg is bouncing, besties.
"Got somethin' else to say, or."
Being kind is so hard.
