Adella looked a bit ashamed of that. "I know and I'm sorry. I'd always meant to come back once I'd found who I was looking for, but things didn't quite work out that way..."
She looked up at her sister and gave her hand a slight squeeze. "I'm grateful to be able to be with you all now."

"I as well Adella one day you will have to tell me what happened. I understand if its a long story. So did Ariel bring you here? Why didn't she stay?" Arista asked wondering why Ariel was acting so unlike herself.

"I don't know. She seems to believe that she's not welcome among us anymore. Something to do with what happened between her and Alana." Adella replied, "She told me that they had a fight, but I'm not sure what exactly was involved."

Gill listened. From what Arista had explained, mermaid business seemed very complex business indeed... but perhaps he should pay attention. He if wanted Arista to BELIEVE he was a mermaid as well... then perhaps he should come up with a complex backstory full of intrigue as well?
...But he didn't like the thought of lying to her. Nor of even misleading her. He already felt awful when he said little half-truths that Arista would just assume and fill in the blanks herself. But if she knew what he REALLY was...
He couldn't remember a lot about his family... but from what he could remember... it was always peaceful. Quiet and serene. There wasn't really any talking either... they didn't have vocal cords... they spoke with their presence... were identified by their presence. And they were tight. Their clan was all they had...
Before the humans came... relentlessly. He was just growing out of his hatchling stage when his mother hid him in a lily pond, a ways from the lagoon. She left, and he was sure she would come back... she always came back...
But she didn't.
Gill looked down. "Maybe it will get better? With time?" He supplied. He looked up, embarrassed that he had interjected.

Arista gave Gill a warm smile, "Your probably right Gill we just need to give her time and let her know we are there for her. Alana will see it to in time and we will be a family again soon." Arista told her sister. "In the meantime we should plan to go see father I am sure he would like that."

Their father... Adella was apprehensive about that the most. Sure, he'd be overjoyed to see her alive and well, but she knew she couldn't avoid the topic of where she'd been this whole time forever. If he ever knew the truth of why she disappeared... She didn't want to think about it.
If he disowned Ariel, his favorite and most precious of his daughters for loving a human, lord only knows what he'd do to her....
"We should. I can't imagine what he believes happened to me or why I was gone for so long." She smiled warmly at her sister.

"I am sure it will be okay once he sees you again. This world has changed him so be prepared for that. It's been hard on him to be a human you know how he hates them. Alana tells me she has a hard time with him sometimes. So tread lightly." Arista told her.

"I imagine it is... He must loathe every day he has to be here, poor dad." Adella wanted a change of subject, she didn't want to talk about so many sad things with her sister after just reuniting with her, "So, how have you been getting along here?"

"I have been better since the curse broke dear sister." Arista didn't want to explain what had happened at least not yet.
"How about you what have you been up to?" Arista asked.

"Well, like I said, I've been looking for the rest of our family. I promised Alana that if I found Attina, I'd tell her." Adella replied, smiling a little, "Once we all get together again, I plan on working up the courage to tell someone special how I feel about him."
She nervously wrung her hands a bit at the thought. She was a little more bold than she was when she was 'Cadence', the curse making her more withdrawn and shy than she normally was, but even now it was difficult for her to face up to this particular task.

"Oh really? Who's the lucky guy?" Arista smiled her sister was in love and hopefully this time it wasn't a pirate. She giggled inside at her joke well Arista was falling for Gill who she was pretty sure wasn't a merman but honestly did it really matter? She would have fallen for a squid if it meant never having to deal with James again.
Besides Gill was nice and fun to be around he appreciated her in a way James never had. He even helped with the dishes after she cooked. Yeah he was a keeper and Arista was a lucky mermaid to have found him. Plenty of fish in the sea maybe but there was only one Gill. Still he was so painfully shy he hadn't even kissed her yet.

Adella smiled and blushed a little. "You probably know him, he's Dr. Hopper. Alana told me that he's been trying to help dad accept the circumstances of being in Storybrooke."

Arista knew Dr. Hopper very well she had been seeing him ever since her break up with James. "Actually I know him he is helping me with some issues he is a wonderful man Adella. Do you think he likes you back?" Arista asked.

"I'm not sure. During the curse, as Cadence, I'd ask for his advice on confronting someone about my feelings for him, all the while trying not to let on my true motives." Adella explained, "I wanted to feel him out a little, to see if I could pick up any subtle hints of how he'd respond to me telling him how I feel about him, but I could never get anything conclusive in either direction from him."

"Have you thought about.... I don't know... straight up telling him?" Gill asked, engaged in the conversation, but then remembering his place. "Ah... sorry..." He sat back in his seat.
He didn't know much about love, but he had heard nice things about it. It seemed like the type of thing to fight for, not to be secretive about... but maybe humans felt differently. He glanced at Arista.
He knew that he would fight for her... he just... couldn't figure out a way to tell her. He awkwardly reached for some popcorn, just for SOMETHING to do with his hands.
