SPOILER!!: Emmalyn

She didn't want to miss anything important, especially if there was going to be a test over the little stuff.

Once finished, she very slowly gathered up her parchment and quill, moving at a snails pace, and hesitantly made her way over towards the holding tank. She had no desire to climb up on anything that was near the holding tank. None at all. She wanted to keep her feet firmly on the ground and away from any water. A cold chill ran down her spine as the thoughts of the last water related class flashed through her mind.

After taking a deep breath at the bottom of the stairs to the observation deck, she slowly backed away, letting the air whoosh out of her lungs as her shoulders slumped. She turned to Professor Wayland "Sir, I'm afraid to go up there. I don't want to somehow fall in the tank."

Tristan was patiently waiting at the bottom of the stairs for all of the students to find their way up to the observation deck, when Emmalyn approached him and told him she was scared. He gave her a gentle sad smile and replied, "I'm so sorry you're scared, Emmalyn. I can't help but feel at fault for your fears after what happened earlier in the term. But, I promise you wont fall in and there is nothing in that tank that will harm you. Plus, if you did happen to fall in, I would jump right in and get you, unless of course the Hippocampi came to your aid first." He said with a small wink. "They really are gentle creatures and wouldn't harm a hair on your head." He didn't mean to pressure her, he just didn't want her to miss an amazing opportunity to see a Hippocampus up close.

"If you want to you can stand by me on the deck if that would make you feel better about it." He offered with an encouraging smile. Hopefully she would take it and join the rest of the class.

As soon as he made is way to the observation deck, and made himself visible to the students and Hippocampi by standing on a raised platform near a ladder that went into the tank, the Hippocampi made their presence known. They leaped through the air and made a mad dash towards Tristan. There were three different Hippocampi. The first was the darkest shade of blue you could ever imagine, with an even deeper blue eye color, and a wild mane of dark gray hair. He looked like the ocean in the middle of a storm. The second was sea-foam green, with dark gray eyes, and a silky white mane; she looked like a gentle wave in the Caribbean islands. The third was aqua blue, with green eyes, and a dark blue mane. She looked like the Ombré blue hair style of your dreams! They were all strong creatures. The male had thicker muscles than the females which caused him to look a little more stocky while the females looked more lithe, and graceful. They all had unique personalities as well which made them even more interesting. These creatures were too beautiful for words.

Tristan smiled, tossing each creature a seaweed treat. "As you can see Hippocampi love Seaweed. They also eat Algae, certain types of Coral, and any other sea plant. They also like to snack on Sea Anemones and are known to come to the surface to eat grass, weeds, and any other plant they can get to on land from the water." Hoped they would take note of that. "It's always important to know what creatures like to eat. It is the easiest way to get them to come to you." He couldn't stress that enough...in every lesson they had.

He took a moment to collect his thoughts, allowing the students to observe the creatures at a closer range. "Now, I want you to write down your observations on the differences between these three Hippocampi. The dark blue is Jupiter, the light green is Calypso, and the light blue is Astraea. Write what you think makes them unique compared to each other and what makes them similar. When you are finished, raise your hand and then share what you observed with the class. You may begin." He flicked more seaweed snacks to the creatures, and raised his right arm.

The Hippocampi caught the treats and then began swimming around the holding tank. Did their tails move more like Merpeople in an up and down motion, or did they move more like sharks in a side to side motion? Was one female bigger than the other? Did their skin have a glittery sheen to it? The harder the students looked the more details they would find.

OOC: You all are doing great! This is Stage 2 of the mini activity. You can do it in as many posts as you like. Have your charries talk with their classmates while observing and when your charries are ready have them stand and present their observations. You will have until Sunday July 8th @ 5 pm to complete this before we move on to the main activity. Have fun with it!!
