Chapter 6 Introductions
Nerissa gracefully makes circular motions with her hand, inviting the new mermen to join them in the water. She creates small splashes by gently tapping the surface, hoping to convey the message of invitation. Aware of their unfamiliarity with Aquasign, she observes as the two mermen exchange glances, hesitating before sliding off the ledge and using their hands for support. In the water, they begin testing the maneuverability of their tails, exploring different movements and occasionally emitting unfamiliar sounds. Nerissa and the others watch, unable to understand their communication but recognizing their intent as they practice. Turning to Madissa, Nerissa uses Aquasign to ask, "Do we have any food left? I remember bringing extra jars of fish eggs and seagrapes.
