{Xie Lian is walking on a beach, clad only in his white trousers. His hair hangs almost to his thighs, covering the majority of his back, but his chest is bare and there are telling marks on his skin. ~~Thank you, San Lang!~~

He crouches before a cute sand castle and smiles happily, reaching out to smooth out a tower.}

What else does my castle need? {His ears are shaped like fins and there are golden and orange scales scattered over his torso.}

I think a little King and Queen. Oh and they need a baby or two, right?

{Now his smile dims slightly.}

Those with aquatic transformations are welcome to join me! Things have been a little tense, haven't they? Swimming can be...a release.

{He brightens again.}

San Lang~ I'm putting you here. {Xie Lian forms a little person, crudely, out of sand and places them right beside the royal children.}

You are much too small for a whale! {But a cute seal or otter? Absolutely! Xie Lian swims around Qinghua and then holds out his hands.}

Let me help. Just focus on your tail.

Exactly! I'm not even sure how that'd look. Tiny torso on huge body? Mini whale? Giant mer-whale thing? And I'd have to start a lot deeper.

[And the pudge just works with it perfectly too. Shang Qinghua tried to turn around with him, ending up flopping sideways before catching those hands.]

Thanks. They're kind of like... having extra arms? It's weird.

{He laughs softly at the different ideas and swims up to Qinghua. Once he has hold of his hands (that little flop makes him laugh more) Xie Lian guides him into the deeper water.}

I'm sure! I think it will make more sense once you are underwater. Try diving and I will follow you.

[He pouts at being laughed at, kicking those fins to move with him.]

Just don't forget that seals still need air, okay?

[Taking a deep breath, he pushed up and dove under the surface.]

{The laughter isn't cruel! He just thinks Qinghua is charming. The little kicks add to that image and Xie Lian bites the inside of his cheek to keep from grinning too much.}

I'm not going to hold you under.

{Xie Lian follows, ready to bring his friend to the surface if he looks distressed. He hopes he won't be. Underwater is a whole new world and it's beautiful too~}

[It took him a minute of adjusting before he got himself actually stable underwater where he could actually stay upright. It was kind of like getting used to sword flight?

And the third eyelid super came in handy for seeing as he gave Xie Lian a thumbs up. Doing good!]

{Xie Lian's hair floats behind him, curling like a wispy, dark cloud, around his head. His scales glitter richly, orange and gold and black, as he darts around Qinghua. Look! This is fun~

Come now, chase him, friendly seal!}

[No one, no one could blame him if he started mentally humming 'Under the Sea' to himself, okay? He couldn't help it!

What he could help, however, was the floundering. Because as long as he thought of it like sword flight, he could get a hang of it.

Because if there was one thing Shang Qinghua was good at, it was flight. And he kept that in mind as he darted after him.]

{If Xie Lian ever saw The Little Mermaid, he would be humming it too~

Flipping onto his back, he grins at Qinghua and then spins back around, swimming deeper before he heads back to the surface. Look at the different shades of blue!}
