Who: ~~Merman~~ Walter and anyone
Where: Island (beach)
When: Afternoon
Style: Either
Status: Open

[Walter is seated at the edge of shore and damp from waist to toe. Under normal circumstances, he would've been out of the beach by now, but one thing is keeping him from returning to the city. That thing is a jellyfish, who's found a new home.

On Walter's leg. More precisely, his left boot. Somehow.

Despite the frustration welling up in him, Walter doesn't tear the sea creature off of him. He submerges that part of his leg underwater and picks almost gently at the tentacles with his bare fingers. In the eyes of others he may run the risk of being stung, but he doesn't fear such an event.

This is going to be a long afternoon.]

[Annoyed by the interruption and that someone dared to tap his shoulder, Walter glances over his shoulder. And pauses. And stares at the makeshift sign, then at the outstretched palm, then at the man.

What the hell is a €.]

. . .

[€ is a kick to the buttcheek if you don't cough up some cash soon.

The Netherlands keeps his hands steady though his lip curls a bit in impatience.]

Hurry up.

[That does it. Sending the Netherlands a glare, he flatly shoots back,]

The jellyfish doesn't belong to you.

[Sure it does, mermaid boy. As of five seconds ago, the Netherlands is the proud owner of that jellyfish.]

Then I can take it.

[He crumbles up the note and sets to removing it. With his shoe. It's alright if he kicks it off the guy, right?]

. . .

[Walter shifts, moving his leg away from the Netherlands before standing to create an even bigger distance and more difficulty.]

You can't.

[His tone is mildly demanding.]

Yeah, I can.

[His tone a bit defensive, he steps closer.]

[Walter doesn't move, at first, but after a second or two of staring he turns to stalk off. Clearly, this one is too deaf to listen.

He takes a step away.]

[He follows suit at Walter's heels. Where are you going, dude? Did you not hear him? And are you seriously going to walk around with that thing on your boot? Because that is Weird.]

[Yes.

Yes, he is.

Walter trudges across shore for a good minute or two before he abruptly stops, spins on his heels, then gestures in the Netherlands' direction.]

How much longer are you going to follow?
