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.]

[ Yes. He knows most of this.

But with his usual flat look, all he says is, ] It won't sting.

[ If you're careful, anyhow. ]

Well then—all the better, isn't it?

[Just let Guriko do her thing, okay.]

It will sting if Jellyman tries to take it off himself.

[ Nodding!! ]

[ Yet he's gone all this time without getting stung. Ugh.

Still, he realizes there's no getting out of this with the clingy girl and the unnerving man. Eyeing Guriko, he moves the hand at his boot away to allow her access. He's not moving from the shore, though. ]

. . . Do it quickly.

[Awww yeah, Guriko wins.

So Tiir will just be smiling but saying nothing.[
