Arista shot Gill a smile and placed her hand on his arm. "No don't be sorry Gill is right Adella you should just tell him. If he says he doesn't feel the same way well then your no better off right?"

Adella smiled warmly at them, appreciating their support. "I've thought about that a million times, especially as Cadence, but whenever I tried to work up the nerve, I'd clam up. It was like, I knew what I wanted to say, but I just didn't know how to articulate the words. I'm not going to hesitate anymore though. Too many things have happened for me to allow myself to do that, but family still comes first.
"After I find Attina and we're all together again, I'll tell him how I feel. No matter what happens, at least I told him, right?"

"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Even if nothing comes of it at least you don't have to worry about it anymore. Would you like something to drink Adella?" Arista asked as she got up to get more tea.

Adella smiled. "Oh, yes please."

Arista went to make tea leaving Gill to talk with Adella she hoped he would be okay. But maybe Gill just needed to see people were kind and he would like Adella if he got to know her.

A few moments of awkward silence passed between Adella and Gill before she broke the silence, smiling encouragingly. "So, Gill, how did you and Arista meet?"

Gill turned his head to look at her. "I uh... I was supposed to talk to her about updating the community attractions brochure with new photographs of attractions... like the beach. Basically the Visitors Bureau sent me..." He paused, not knowing if he should reveal the disturbing details of his run in with James, Arista's ex, when he first met the mermaid. It was she secret to share, not his. "And... I met James, in the studio. He's... not a nice man." He supplied simply.
"After, she took shots of the beach... and after that we had diner." He wasn't great at giving details, not unless he was pressed for them. "And we've been friends ever since." Maybe more. He couldn't tell. There were times when Arista seemed to drop hints... but Gill wasn't sure. So he'd do nothing, out of hesitation... Kicking himself LATER for not having made a move back.

Adella was curious about this James guy who apparently wasn't very nice, but she could tell Gill wasn't comfortable giving out certain details out of respect for Arista. She liked that, but she wanted to get to know him a little better. If he was going to be hanging around her sister, she had a right to know at least some things about him, right?
"Oh, you work for the Visitor's Bureau?"

"Not technically." Gill admitted. "I'm a lifeguard. I'm always at the beach, and paid for by the city council... they decided I should be the one to follow through and meet with Arista." He shrugged. "I don't know how that makes sense exactly, but I'm glad it happened. Because I got to meet her." He looked over at Arista making tea. Every movement she made was so graceful.
"Where do you work?" He asked, being polite.

Adella became sheepish at that. "Oh, I'm unemployed at the moment."
She decided on a change of subject. "Did you have any family transported here by the curse?"

Devon looked down. "My family had been dead... for a long time before the curse." He could tell Adella regreted the train of conversation that she had started. "It's okay. I was the last one, alone...for the most part..." If you could count the humans coming and going, always hunting for the 'gilled creature'. "I didn't mind... I mean, I MISSED my family, but... it couldn't be helped..." He tried to shrug it off. His kind didn't greive like humans... or mermaids did. But they did greive.
"Do you like to swim? I don't think I ever saw you on the beach..." He finally said.

Adella looked sympathetic as she listened to him talk about his family, but she focused on the change of subject he offered. "Well, I don't swim very often anymore. It's not that I don't know how or that I don't like to, it's just not as enjoyable to do it by yourself. Well, in my opinion at least."
