Once they were inside Alfonse’s office, Alfonse locked the door as his wife looked at Fiero with her arms crossed over her chest.
“So, what is it that you want from me?”
Oona asked.
“Before that, I need you to answer a few of my questions, please,” Fiero said, and Oona scowled.
But then she slowly lost the scowl and nodded her head.
“What is it?”
“Do you belong to the same place, you and Immerline?” Fiero asked.
Oona gave him a deadpan look.
“We are mermaids, of course, we both came from underwater,” she answered.
Fiero shook his head.
“Yes, I know. What I want to know is if you are from the same group or whatever you call a group of mermaids,” he said.
“Pods. A group of mermaids is called a pod. To answer your question, yes, we are from the same pod, the same kingdom.”
Oo
