Huh. All the small fry seem... smaller than usual?

Heeey, you like our singin'? We kept you waitin', haha!

Eeh? Ya’ can’t just spring that on me an’ Jade, our parents don’t have potions to come on land. Make a phone call or somethin’.

((WOW sorry for being like “i’ll roleplay with anyone i’m just shy! 🥺” and then completely disappearing LOL, stuff came up irl and i haven’t been feeling too hot. sending eel luv 🌊🌊))

((AOOOUUGH i'm so sorry if you ever want to rp with me please ping me or my jade account in anything okay. i'm so very shy but i would love to rp with people i'm just SO BAD AT TALKING OUGHHGRGH ))

Huh? Ya’ think I’m cute? ✨ [He poses, smushing his cheeks.] Thanks, Big Dragon Lady! ☺️

[He sighs soooooo big, sinking into one of the Lounge’s couches.] I got chewed out by Trein for fallin’ asleep in class again, made me stay after and clean the WHOLE classroom. There was so much Lucius fur everywhere… It sucked!!! I’m tired! 😖

[He shrugs, grinning.] I dunno. Those human potions work in weird ways, it's like how Azul suddenly needed glasses. Don't know why! Maybe it picked a random number or somethin'.

I dunno, bein' big is cool! You can reach all kinds of stuff, probably find lotsa secrets nobody else sees. Unless you're me, because sometimes I hit my head on doorframes when I forget to duck. Then bein' big kinda sucks. But otherwise it seems pretty cool! Doubt anyone will mess with ya'.

[He'll be okay. He's just being dramatic.] 😔

Woah, rad. [Floyd blinks up at him.] At least ya' can get outta classes when you change back to normal. They still make me an' Jade go when our transformation potions don't come in on time. It suuuucks.

I've already been in a cruddy mood, and Azul keeps tryin' to get me to do stuff!! I don't wanna do stuff!! I wanna go nap or somethin'...

Jokes are supposed to be funny, dummy. I don't see either of us laughing. [What was supposed to be a simple joke was clearly misconstrued as an insult. While most would reply "Haha, I /am/ around her a lot!" Floyd can't bear to think Yuuka would ever not want to be around him. He pulls his fist +

I would! I'd squeeze every one of 'em until every last photo was deleted! [He splashes the water for dramatic effect, before allowing her to swim close and anchor herself with arms around his neck. Floyd holds her around the waist in turn, looking into her eyes with his mismatched ones.] So lets +

[His demeanor switches from playfully angry to genuinely angry VERY fast, his fist connecting with the wall next to his head as he leans in menacingly.] You’re gettin’ reaaaaal mouthy, Sea Turtle. Somethin’ in the water over at Heartslabyul? Huh? Mind your fuckin’ business.

Fine! …And stay away from Shrimpy!! A respectable, non-leaning distance away!! 😡

Looks like ya’ gotta keep your Vice reined in, huuuh? I never woulda thought!

I dunno! Why don’t you try flirtin’ with the wall and figure it out!!

[He huffs, blowing bubbles in the water.] Then we can take pictures when you’re dressed in somethin’ else, I don’t want a buncha boys takin’ pictures of you in a swimsuit!! [When she’s gotten her fill of oxygen, Floyd leads her by the hand out into the deeper water, guiding her along.]

Really? Didn’t you call him and Seagull like, the “100% sus among us” duo or something? Had a change of heart? Or are ya’ just a sucker for sweets? …I don’t blame ya’, his cookies are yummy. But Goldfishie yells at me whenever I take some, haha.

… [He pinches the bridge of his nose.] No wonder Jade’s goin’ insane tryin’ to figure this guy out.

Sea Turtle? Really? I always figured he was too boring for that kind of thing. Too busy baking a pie to put the moves on, or whatever. …What, did he flirt with you too~?

[His purring quickly turns into (half-hearted) growling, looking up at Yuuka with a petulant pout.] Shrimpy… You know that’s not what I meant!! No pictures or nothin’! It’s just supposed to be you and me!! [But with the final ruffle of his hair he lets go and watches as she dives into the water, +

[That makes Floyd pause, and there’s a sudden shift in his mood.] Hah? He wasn’t tryin’ to flirt with you too, was he? [With how serious he suddenly looks, Floyd might start biting too.]

…Oh. PFFT- Sea Turtle? Really?! That’s hilarious, I didn’t know he had it in him! No wonder Jade’s so sour. He would’ve started biting everyone around— That would’ve been pretty funny to see.

The heck did you guys do while we were havin’ a meeting? Jade’s all moody.

Uh huh. I told ya’, I reserved it for juuuuuust the two of us, didn’t I? Or were you so excited that your lil’ Shrimpy ears weren’t listening? [He grins, swimming close so he could lean up and rest his head on Yuuka’s lap, letting her play with his wet hair.] That means we’ve got the run of the +

Haha, oops~ [Of course, it’s Floyd at the scene of the crime.] At practice Crabby said somethin’ about fish bein’ smelly, so I probably am too. So I blasted him: axe style. Can probably smell that guy a mile away, haha!

Baah~ [It's Floyd, but much greener! He pops out of the water when Yuuka approaches, his finned arms out wide in an attempt to startle her.] Heheeeheh, did I get ya'? ...Ooh. Lookin' good, Shrimpy! I like the outfit! [He gives her a sharp grin and two thumbs up, swimming closer to the edge +

Oh, you meant it like, /moved/ moved. I thought you meant it scooted over or something. Shoot, you want help findin’ it? A haunted table sounds kinda rad.

…Shrimpy, you live with ghosts. Ya’ want me to teach the table a lesson or somethin’?

Uh huh, that’s me. What’s wrong?

Wuh.

[Floyd scoops her up in a hug while they kiss, sweeping her off her feet with a gentle laugh.] D’aw, don’t sweat it, Shrimpy! I gotta repay the favor for when you got me those sweet shoes, don’t I? Plus, I also like you a whole lot. So I’d do this anyway. [While Yuuka gathers her things to go +

…Everyone? [Floyd just tilts his head at her, smiling. Silly Shrimpy. Didn’t he mention it’d be just the two of them? …Didn’t he? Oh well. Too late now!] Anyway, come on, this way, this way~ [Floyd tugs her along through the long, aquatic corridors of the dorm until they reach a certain door, +

[Floyd swings their arms as they walk holding hands, smiley as ever now that they’re finally on their way.] I’m happy to see ya’ too, Shrimpy! I was thinkin’ about it aaaaallll night, so I decided today was the day we’d go swimmin’! [He beams at her, leading her along to the portal to +

Wuh oh.

[Floyd can't help but smile all dopey into the kiss, as lovestruck with her as she was with him. It's only when he hears Grim start complaining that he pulls away, rolling his eyes with rosy cheeks.] Get oooover it. It's just a little kissin', no big deal. And see? I told you she'd pick me. +

Hey! I can be fluffy too!! [His pout only intensifies as he ruffles his teal hair, mussing it up even more than usual.] AND I'm super cute. Right, Shrimpy? [Floyd rises to his feet to stride over, looming over the both of them. To Grim, it's probably terrifying. But to Yuuka... +

[Even Floyd is a bit alarmed, flinching at the sudden shift in volume as Grim starts to cry wolf.] Oi, oi! I didn't even do anything! I'm just sittin' here! [He pouts, crossing his arms with a big huff.] Sealie's just bein' a big loud baby. I've got no time for squeezin' today, schedule's +

[Floyd brings a hand up to feel his cheeks. Huh. He sure was grinning quite a bit, wasn’t he? Well… He couldn’t help it. It was time to hang with Shrimpy!] Uh huh. I was thinkin’ about how I’m gonna eat all your tuna while you’re away, and there’s nothin’ you can do about it. [He sneers at the

…You’re not Shrimpy. [Floyd’s previously cheery attitude takes an annoyed turn, easily sidestepping the little direbeast and waltzing into the dilapidated dorm.] Okay, okay. I won’t go upstairs, quit /your/ yappin’ lil’ Sealie. [Well. Nothing to do but wait, so he makes himself at home on one +

(@unwovenmagic.bsky.social) [Initially, his plan had been to hold out for White Day and take Yuuka for a swim then. But Floyd was never one to stick to plans, and with both of their feelings out in the open anyhow, there was no need for the silly holiday anyway. So there he stood outside of +

...Heh. [Floyd's features soften in turn, pulling Yuuka close to nuzzle into her hair and snuggle close.] We've got plenty of time to learn, don't we? What I mean to Shrimpy... and what Shrimpy means to me. M'not good with words and stuff like that, so you've gotta get the Floydie experience.

Could it be? Is that... Goldfishieeeeeee??? 🥰

Pfft- Haha! [Floyd is absolutely peppered with affection, the gentle kisses just soft enough to feel ticklish against his skin. It takes everything in him not to squirm away and laugh, instead opting to hold her close, pressing his cheek to Yuuka's.] I gotta get used to that, too. +
