"It is, isn't it?" She replied back, grinning at the girl as she put it in her hair. She was mental. Why would you want to put algae in your hair? (ooc: I got it wrong before... lolol. I'm too tired.) Maybe Iris could do something actually useful with the algae, though... Like using it to create fluorescent butterflies. They'd be brilliant... and would make pretty night lights for little girls. Gah! The thought of children AGAIN. Ever since that evening by the lake with Aaron, the thought of babies and small children made their way into every other thought!
Being pulled back to the cove by the girl's voice, Iris nodded in agreement. "I know... Maybe the Merfolk in the Lake will become aware of us being here after a while... and maybe they'll hide it from us again. That is, if they even remember it's here... The amour on the sand looks ancient. And yes, it's real. The prefects didn't put it there." She said, looking at the girl. The Head Girl kind of hoped that this place WOULD get hidden from the Wizards and Witches over the summer. She was being selfish, sure, but she didn't want to miss getting to spend every Saturday here when everyone else was.
One thing was for sure though: Iris was going to make damn sure this place looked like it hadn't been touched at all by Humans before she got on that train for the last time. Just in case the Merfolk ever do come back to this paradise.
Macy gave a sheepish nod as the Head Girl sighed quietly before answering her. Obviously she'd been hoping for somebody else, but they all knew that feeling.
The fourth year followed quietly behind her as they continued on into the cove. She was glad she'd put the glowy stuff into her hair at this point- it seemed to make a nice lantern. Though she'd probobly have one hell of a time trying to wash it out later. Oh well, she couldn't well complain about having flourescent strands of hair. Mace nodded as the older girl explainedthe possible future if the lagoon.
"I hope they do," she said quietly.
"They'll certainly take care of it better than anyone else ever could. And then maybe loads of years from now they'll leave and future generations will get to enjoy it for a little while. But I hope they always come back," she added wistfully.
Otherwise this beautiful place might just go to ruins. Just like the rest of the world. If anything, it reminded Macy of the first snow of winter. How when you looked out your window all you saw was flawless white perfection. And then everybody woke up and the whole thing was destroyed. A lot of things were like snow, she supposed. Except that snow came back.
Having established that, the fourteen year old took extra special care when stepping over the rocks, especially trying not to squish the glowy plants lighting the cave floor and walls. Wouldn't want to hurt it.
