Day 12 Lionfish
As above so below.
The curling of fire scales and bright eyes were the last thing the maiden was expecting when she sat by the waters and began to admire the ocean waves in the warm sunlight. Her beauty glowing and her smile bright as she sat there awaiting the special someone that would arrive soon.
It had been nearly a month since you had reunited with Tengen and his pod and nearly a few days since he talked you into coming back to his island to live with them again. You had seen and spent time with practically everyone. Everyone except for Kyojuro. Apparently according to Tengen-
"He's spending a few days with his family over at my other island. Don't worry about him. As soon as he gets back, we won't be able to get him off ya.~"
You knew the loud positive merman would probably be very excited to see you back here again and would most likely race over as soon as one of the others informed him that you had come back to live on the island again. So now here you were, staring at the water waiting for one of your 'mates' to show up today and see what they had in mind. You were not expecting the sights of a bright orange blue under the surface rippling the water right towards where you were sitting but you smiled at him.
Kyojuro had arrived.
You smiled in wait and knelt down to the water's edge in wait. You didn't have to wait long because the surface broke as a large muscular man came crawling out of the water and onto the sand dripping saltwater from his large fins. The smiling face was full of love and hope as he stared up at you in awe.
"YOU CAME BACK!!," was his usual loud response as his voice echoed everywhere and made you wince from the pain in your ears. "When I heard you were back I had to come see you myself!! I didn't believe you were here again but here you are!"
Reaching a hand up to rub your ear, you smiled at him. "Yes. I was just wondering when I'd get to see you again too. You weren't with the others when I got here."
Without thinking or asking he reached out to you and you didn't stop him when he grabbed a webbed hand around the large diamond necklace around your neck and lifted it from your collar bone to examine.
"I recognize this from Tengen's treasure hoard!"
"Yes. He gave it to me." His red eyes looked up at you. "He said he wanted to dote on all your wives..but I guess I'm just not used to wearing such lavish jewelry like all of you yet."
" Nonsense. You look radiant." He hummed. "Well allow me. May I?"
He gestured to your body and you nodded giving him permission to curiously poke at the polished seashells on the platinum chain around your waste and move up to hold your hands looking at the Platinum and diamond bracelets and rings Tengen had given you to wore. He wanted everyone's jewelry to be different. With Hinatsuru he adorned her in rubies. Suma had gotten silver and blue diamonds or sapphires. Makio was usually dressed up in amber and lots of gold. Kyojuro himself had some gold jewelry but many were colorful gems from green emeralds to purple gems unknown to you to even a few pink diamonds but most of what he wore was copper pieces. Yourself had been gifted mostly clear diamonds, opals, pearls, and platinum. Each of you standing out differently.
He studded each piece carefully poking a hand at the pearl bracelet around your wrist before bringing your hand up to look at the diamond studded rings amongst your fingers. He stared at your hand for a long time bed without warning kissed your hand making you jump before blushing a grand red as he chuckled.
"I was right. You look absolutely radiant.~"
