Maria nodded her head and turned back to Kros.
"What happened?" She was a little worried, mostly since she couldnt remember what hapened. This had never happened to her before.

Kros was now submerged in the water when Maria asked this question. Slowly, he slithered up onto the beach, his features plenty different now that water was upon him. The cresting fin had been joined by two others along the sides of his head, going down his entire body and tail. His hands now had long, thin claws on the end of each finger, and his mouth was now filled with razor-sharp teeth. One claw made a small circle in the sand over and over as Kros explained.
"Erm... I think that the Mere-man charm wasss out of my control... I didn't mean for thisss to happen..."
He looked very dejected indeed, staring at the ground the whole time he spoke.

Walking to him, Maria bent down. Lifting his head in her hands, she smiled and kissed him. "I forgive you." She stood up and dove into the water. Stupid really, though. The water was freezing. She laughed. "L-lets s-swim," she said in between chattering teeth.

Kros was struck dumb, his clawed hand coming up to touch his face where Maria had kissed him. Slowly, he slithered in, his cheeks a nice shade of red. Looking up, he smiled softly, saying
"Thank you..."
He smiled turned into a frown, however, when he saw how cold Maria was.
"You're cold... I can find sssome warmer watersss for you..."

"Its ok. Im f-fine." Holding her cold soaking robes closer to her, she swam closer to him. Treading water near the mer-man, she smiled.
"Ok, maybe some warmer waters would be nice."

Kros nodded his finned head, diving into the water. Two minutes passed, then five, before he came back up, shaking water from his fins.
"There'sss an underground cave nearby... It isss filled with warm water..."
He said, nodding his head quickly.

Maria smiled and dove into the water, holding her breath. She waited for him to show the way to the cave. Looking around, she saw lots of fish. They were pretty. The seaweed danced wildly in the current. She smiled, still a tad bit cold.

A finned hand gently gripped Maria's arm, and Kros shot forward through the water, pulling Maria along with him. He tail beat through the water effortlessley, his other free hand also pushing himself forward. After a few moments, there was a rock face. Kros pointed down, swimming towards a crack big enough to fit the two of them. He squeezed through, his tail making a bit of dirt fly up in the water. HIs hand poked out soon after, moitioning for Maria to follow.

Maria followed, and her head broke through the surface. Blonde hair glistened from the water. She smiled as she walked from the water, clothes dripping wet. She squeezed the water from her hair, and then bent down to pick up some shells. "Its beautiful in here. It would be awesome to be a mermaid, to swim where I wanted."

"It'sss not alwaysss that fun... Take the ssstretched lettersss for exxxample"
Kros replied, using his arms to push himself up onto a ledge, his tail dangling down, touching the water gently.
"But it isss one of my favorite formsss... I'm almosssst in it asss much asss I am human..."
