Elethia swam through the water gracefully and at a good pace.
Her long red hair fell beyond her shoulders and blew in the water as petite and beautifully as she did. Her tail paddled her through the water and she was heading for her shop in the village with an armful of pearls and beautiful shells.
As she reached the village she swam into her comfortable cottage and let the contents in her arm fall down onto her work table. Examining her game she gave a satisfied smile, she had collected a fairley good amount of materials, and she knew Merelle would only bring her more to work with.
They were in good work lately.
Tucking her long red hair back behind her ears she leaned over the table and grabbed a long thin strand of sea weed.
Threading the shells onto the weed she worked quickly and pushed them on with graceful and fast working fingers.
Pushing back out of her chair five minutes later she awaited the merperson who would happily collect their order soon.
She began to work on a second, her lips pursed in concentration with her fingers tapped in hurry against the seaweed.

Merelle had been following Elethia all the way to the shop, it'd just taken
Merelle a bet longer because she had to go get six pearls for a old
mermaid, that was doomed to die soon, and well Merelle just figured that that necklace would be made for her and hopefully would bring all the luck she needed before passing away.
Walking into the store now, Elethia curled her hair with her fingers and looked around surprised. " So, good morning I guess, look at what I found." Merelle said extremely happy of the new day. She opened her hand and showed her the six pearls that layed in the palm of her left hand.
Everyday was usually starting out like this, Merelle always was three minutes late, and I guess it really didn't matter as much to Elethia as Merelle thought it would or she would probably be out of this job in less then a few days top. But now she'd been there for a week and five days and everything seemed fine and all.
Though in a couple of days Merelle would have to get up the courage to ask Elethia to go out of the little village to see her grandma and aunts for her mother's funeral. They'd probably have to make her father's funeral as well, he'd been missing with the rest of the mermen for about five or six years and no news had ever been reported of actually ever seeing any mermen in that amount of time.
"Elethia? Can I ask you something, I mean if it bothers you I can stay here, but I just wanted to ask can I get two days off of umm, working. I mean I'll work extra hard before I leave, but its just that I have to go see my aunts and grandma for my mom's funeral. So is it okay?"

[/b][/move][/glow][/u] Elethia gave a startled smile as Merelle wavered in behind her.
"Oh! You scared me, good morning Merelle!" she said happily. Her tail swished below her, startled.
She turned to look at Merelle and with a praiseful smile she turned back around to finish her necklace she was working on.
As she listened carefully to Merelle's words while working, she suddenly froze. Merelle wanted a day off?
Did she knoew how important the business was, without her, Elethia'd have to work extremely hard, which didn't suit her well.... but... she did need to give Merelle a brake, and this was a sad occasion.
"Very well, you may go, but make sure that you fill all your orders for this week, get me extra materials, and you only get 1 more week off for the rest of the entire year."
Elethia said strictly.
Then turning she began to work again. And older mermaid knocked lightly on the cottage door, but let herself in anyways, swimming towards Elethia gracefully.
"Oh, Elethia Deary, I expect a beautiful pearl necklace!" the woman chirped.
"OH!" Elethia spun around, frightened for a second time.
"Hello Mrs. Fin... um, I'm pleased to say it's right heere." Elethia said, holding up a beautiful pink pearled necklace she had just finished making.
"Ooooh! It's lovely, I'll give you three black stones for it!" Mrs. Fin cooed.
"Very well, you owe me nine next time!" Elethia warned as the old mermaid skidded from the cottage.
"See why I ned you Merelle, I was almost late that order." Elethia sighed.
"Oh well." she huffed, searching the cabinets for more sea weed to use as string. |

"If its such a problem for you to be here alone I'll stay, I mean it's my mom's funerail, but, but I supose if I only get one week off for the whole year then I bet you'd want me to save it for something more useful."
Merelle didn't want to see Elethia have to work alone and have to be able to fill all the orders for the week she'd be gone, and Merelle now for sure that Elethia wouldn't be able to find all the treasures that she could in ten minutes top. Plus if Elethia really didn't want her to go to her mom's funerial then there must be some reason.
"You know what, I'll just stay, I'll send my grandma a letter and well you wont have to stumble over the fact that I'll be gone." She swam over to Elethia hovering over the paper that held all the orders she'd need to fill by tomorrow.
"Well I'd better go to get the materials for Sererre for her house decorations. So I'll be back later and if Ms. Justle comes by tell her that her bracelet is in the back of the shop waiting for her so, I'll probably be back by then and if you need any help then just call my mer cell."
Before Elethia could say anything back or snap at her for seeming kind of rude Merelle swam out the door slamming in behind her fin.
Going down to Dedemtous Coral Reef was pretty fun, it always seemed to be very exciting and suprisingly no sharks ever wandered around these shinny places.
All she needed to get was a few sea shells, a pearl and some other cool things that she knew Sererre would like for her new home.

[Mer cell?]
Elethia listened intentley as Merelle continued on in one breath. Before she could so much as breath a word the girl had left.
"Ugh! She's always got to make such a fuss." Elethia huffed as she swam from the cottage and after Merelle, as she entered Dedemtous Coral Reef she swam over to Merelle.
"It's your mother's funeral, so you're going... but still, you're filling those orders before you go." Elethia snapped, then hurried back towards the shop to finish making Ms. Scale's bracelet.

"But look at you, you can barely keep up with work while I'm around. You need to sit down, stop, for one minute, it wont kill you. Please." Elethia didn't seem to listen. "Look," Merelle continued, "please, I quess I want to stay, it'd help this job alot, and by the time I'll be back you'll be dead with all the new orders you'd be getting while I'm gone. It's not a huge problem, I didn't even know the woman very well, all she did was mourn and well practically try to kill herself everyday because my father was gone, soo yeah let alone take care of me, or even try to do the least bit of goodness for me in my life. So, I quess it was just bad luck that she died. So, I'm staying, its offical, and well you cant make me go."
Merelle spun around signaling to Elethia with her hands to go away. Though after she did that she kind of laughed knowing that Elethia would probably roll her eyes at Merelle and storm back to the shop to ask herself why she even tryed to hire Merelle to help her with the shop since she was such a handful.
Now it was time for her to actually get back to work, so once she got back to the shop Elethia'd yell at her and then they'd work everything out again like there'd been no problem the whole time. So she flipped her long blonde hair behind her ears and looked around for new discovories to be made.
[Sorry it's not very good, but uhh, yeah no offence to Elethia, just yeah, I got bored, it needed, more, uhh details!]
