Skylar was trying to focus, really, and her hand was diligently moving along as her peers shouted off answers for what they knew of hippocampi. But somehow despite her attempts, she couldn't come up with anything coherent for something unique to add to the discussion, so instead her hand continued to move, likely a faster rate than what her brain was going at that moment. At least she'd have the notes to study at a later date.

Moving methodically over to the observation deck with her parchment and quill, she made a small face at the creatures, diligently noting some of the differences along with some names too because naming creatures was super important. OKAY, SO CHANCES ARE, Wayland probably already named them but she wanted to give them her own names for them just because, WHY NOT. It might help her in her comparing and contrast, but also developing a sense of kinship to them....

Oh, they did have names. Scribbling out her own notes, she wrote the names Wayland listed off.

Quote:

Jupiter - dark blue. dark gray hair
Calypso - Sea foam green. white hair
Astraea - Aqua blue. Green eyes. dark blue hair

So their main differences seemed to be in hair color, which was easy enough to recall. They seemed to move in an up and down motion, but not like merpeople; they were themselves in the way they moved. Kind of graceful, yet not.

OOH. They got to RIDE one of the hippocampi?!? AS IF she would choose the second option when she'd been given the option to ride one of the creatures. Grabbing one of the wet suits, she quickly departed to one of the barn bathrooms, changing and heading back out in time to see Maddie stepping out and asking for a second turn??? UH, some people hadn't even had ONE turn yet. Stepping over towards where Jupiter was, Skylar dipped her toes in the water very slightly just to sort of address and say she was safe. But also to know what the temperature of the water would feel like. Slipping goggles on over her eyes, she slid onto Jupiter's back after saying his name and fed him some algae. Taking a handful of its hair into her hand, she gave it a gentle tug and with a firm 'dive', the creature dove and took off around the tank. Of course she almost wished she'd cast a bubblehead charm before because it would have made the breathing under water thing much easier instead of nearly swallowing some water from the sudden shock and pull, but alas oh well. She'd held her breath quick enough and tugging on the creatures hair, Jupiter pulled up from the water, Skylar gasping for the briefest of moments. Patting at Jupiter's side, she fed it some more algae, before sliding off it and up onto the ladder and the platform.

And if she went again, she was definitely casting the bubblehead charm on herself. If there was time for her to go again, that is.
