Mermaid AU ala Thor and Loki~

[leikur]

[What was suppose to be a relaxing trip had turned into, unsurprisingly, a trip where he ended up doing more work in his hotel room than anything else. It wasn't ideal but honestly it was to be expected and there was a part of Loki that had just expected that this was bound to happen even before he'd gotten onto the plan. Wallstreet waited for no one and he had resigned himself to sitting on the porch attached to his room, at the very least, and getting some fresh air while he typed away at his laptop and listened in on group calls as his co-workers bickered about one thing or another.

It was a particularly harrowing call that finally sent him over the edge and he'd hung up without a word, closing his laptop and leaving his hotel room without a second though. His cellphone had been left behind on his bed, the young man just needing to get away and clear his head because dammit this was suppose to be a vacation.

Loki's anger, his annoyance, had him stalking around in a bit of a haze and by the time he finally calmed down he found himself walking along the boardwalk. It was late afternoon and bustling though not near as bad as the city he was use to and slowly but surely he relaxed and eventually made his way down towards the water after slipping his shoes off and trudging through the sand. The cool breeze off the water was extremely refreshing and he let out a content sigh as he stood at the water's edge, the waves crashing gently around his bare feet as he took a moment to just exist as he was.

He really should have left his laptop at home. Or at the very least 'lost it' during transit.]

[Treatment. Right, yes. His injuries.

His ankle throbs dully as he starts to focus on the situation at hand again and he glances at it even as his fingers still brush against the other's tail.]

I...yes. Here? [Loki frowns slightly.] It's not safe here is it? For you, I mean.

[It apparently wasn't safe for him either but that was besides the point.]

[onlyawarrior]

As long as you don't bring people with you, it is safe enough for me.

[ There's always the possibility he will bring others in hopes of proving what he saw, but in that case, Thor will simply keep his tail underwater and swim away. He has to be careful, and one human at a time is quite enough. ]

You can stay here, by the shore. I'll sit here as I am now.

[ Meanwhile, Loki is petting his tail, so Thor doesn't see any problem in running a hand over one of the man's legs. They're so strange up close, and yet he envies Loki for having them. ]

Please?

[leikur]

But if anyone comes by..

[This was a rather secluded area of the beach. Despite still expecting to wake up tomorrow and realize this had all been a fever dream, Loki didn't want to put his new friend in danger.]

If you're sure...once I get this all taken care of I'll b-be--I'll come back. [He stumbled over his words as the merman ran a hand over one of his leg's, an involuntary shiver going through Loki as he found himself watching Thor's hand as it moved along his leg.]

I'll be back tomorrow, I promise.
