"Ya Wanna Know 'bout Merfolk?"

"Nah dude, I jus' enjoy me a good fight sometimes."

This guy was a little dense, huh.

"...No? --Are ya tellin' me that?" Wow, rude. "I meant the Team Leader thing. Not the fish part. Bein' here makes me kinda miss it, yanno? --Not that I'm startin' again. Nuh-uh. Once was 'nough fer me-- I jus' mean I miss the family feel."

...and now he's laughing? He's laughing. Cool. He got a fuckin' masochist mermaid.

"...ya want to get punched?!"

...I mean. Mood. Sure. Okay. Felt. Sometimes you really gotta throw hands, but c'mon now.

"...understand.

You're tellin' me I smell like fish or somethin--"

Shes not here yet but flower emoji sapphire?

Archie is probably like some weird uncle to Sapphire despite everything that happened. Takes her on fishing / diving trips and the like.

Sapphire knows about the merfolk dealio. I feel like Archie told her after the team disbanded.

So tempting to just splash water all over the floor now. He huffs, ready to curl up again and snooze, but... Yeah the moment's gone. He's not gonna be able to fall asleep easily, ugh.

"..." Still. Staring at the ceiling beats talking to this dude right now. Maybe if he's lucky Plumeria will show up later with something to do. "Aye aye, c'pn."

…lots of words to say that yeah he can just stand up and leave but it's kinda difficult at the moment.

"Coolio."

Not coolio at all. He'll have to talk to Plumeria about this entire bs.

"Welp. In that case try to not splash all over the place or I'll make ya clean everything, wounds or not."

Guzma out. If mr. Fish wanted to say anything, he better do so now or shut up forever.

Aaaand they're rolling back. He might've underestimated the pain that still lingered in his body. Archie winces briefly, but he's not gonna let it stop their fun.

Normally he'd continue fighting, but his side is screaming at him to Not Do That right now... So naturally, he attempts it again-- --Yep, Guzma's still on top after a failed attempt. Okay, let's try something else, then. A hand reaches for Guzma's back, and he digs in his nails, returning the favour.

Oh this is happening alright, in his own goddamn terms--

"-fuck!"

…nevermind I fucking guess. Guzma remained stunned for half a second before letting out yet another sgrunt, the hand on Archie's jaw tightening as he--

…yeah, he's trying to roll then over again - one hand on the former Aqua's face, another sliding under his shirt, nails dragged on his back, mouth a little too occupied on the other's to saw anything sarcastic.

Alola's weirdest wrestling match.

@punkbites // Continued;

"Funny? I ain't no clownfish now, am I?"

He doesn't like this guy's attitude right now. Cheekfins flare up a little at the accusatory point in his direction, but he doesn't make much more of a move other than that.

"...Might take a bit."

Not a lie. He heals incredibly slow. Most merfolk do.

"I'll pay y'all back somehow fer this. Promise." That might have come out wrong. "In a positive way, I mean."

@wingbeatz

yeagh....

drops plotting call on the dash while I probably go make dinner (please like and i'll dive into ur dms for plotting) ))

@emeraldpride asked: "What the hell makes you think you can show your face around here?"

Not the first time he heard those words, truth be told. But when he turns around to look at who's basically telling him to piss off, he can't help but raise a brow. Now who might this be? Somehow familiar, and yet... He doesn't think they have met.

"Bwahaha! What's that? Can't show my mug 'round here, you say?" He leans forward, intimidatingly so (a bad habit he's still to shake), and grins wide. "And why's that?"

real reason maxie doesn't wear the hood of his hoodie up much

"...?"

...fish.
