[It's been a couple months since he last came on the network but that's not about to bother this Fae. He's all smiles as he comes up.]

Hi. I was kind of in the mood to chat so I guess here I am.

[He shrugs but he's not about to be anything but honest. Because he really can't be anything but honest anyway.]

One of my big passions in life is art. I've been drawing a lot here and I even got to help design one of the businesses. It's been pretty great but I've been wondering something...

Would people like seeing someone selling art? Offering commissions? Maybe even helping to design homes or businesses? I think it could be a lot of fun. But also I was just curious to see what kind of art people were the most interested in seeing.

Or if there's other artists out there! We should hang out if there are!

[He gives a wave.]

I'm Riley for anyone who hasn't met me yet. It's nice to meet you!

No, you won't be trapped. You'll learn how to transform - and then you can be a merman whenever you like.

[hideawayparadise]

So many of the changes are permanent though. That's why I don't know what is going to stick and what isn't.

[gentledawn]

Nothing that hampers you. At least that has been my experience. I have the ears and a tail in my human form with some fur.

[hideawayparadise]

You've not heard of something more inconvenient sticking?

[gentledawn]

Forgive me for asking, but I take it you have those you are intimate with? When love is present, small obstacles can be overcome. Sometimes they can even make the time we spend with them better.

[hideawayparadise]

Yeah. I have two boyfriends. And more than that I have a whole adopted family here and I live with some of them.

[gentledawn]

Then don't worry. Any changes will be embraced.

[hideawayparadise]

I know they will. I'd just feel bad because one of my boyfriends doesn't live with me. So I wouldn't be able to go meet him places.

[gentledawn]

Then have him come to you. I would make the trip. [For his Zichen? Absolutely.]

[hideawayparadise]

I know he'd come to me. [Things just feel so complicated with other matters. Things he won't bring up here so he just puts on a smile.]

I know I'd look pretty with a merman tail too.

[gentledawn]

I have no doubt. [Fish scales are lovely.] Since you know you will likely swim, make preparations. I know of several places that have pools for example.

[hideawayparadise]

You mean instead of just being stuck in a bath?

[gentledawn]

No one would want to be stuck in a bath. You deserve better than that.

[hideawayparadise]

That's true. As much as I love them I wouldn't want to be stuck there for who knows how long...

[gentledawn]

And the water would grow cold. Then again, you might not mind that?

[hideawayparadise]

Cold doesn't bother me. I can actually use magic and my natural element is water so temperature things don't really effect me, I've found.

[gentledawn]

You are well on your way to being a merman! [How exciting~] I have never seen one.

[hideawayparadise]

They're really beautiful creatures. A fish tail and a human torso is the most common depiction. If I could get to look half as pretty as them I'll be happy.
