× the forbidden fruit.

@sana Tzuyu gave a soft hum as she nodded. "That's true. They can't go everywhere... Or do everything... Not like we can... Like... How I can go through walls, avoid being touched, teleport even... Humans can't do those things." She agreed. She was still running her fingers over the other's tail, truly fascinated by it. "Yeah... That's true... I hung out with a werewolf guy once... Oh my lord... I'll never do that again..." She blinked. "You can? I'd love to have that ability~..." She laughed softly. "It's okay. I enjoy listening~" She smiled as the other played with her fingers. "Hope... Is the one thing we have... That should never be taken away..." She gave a small nod. "Noted... I'll avoid them. Luckily I have the ability to spot another species before they can spot me..." Also... I really want to do that thing again... Where you jumped through the puddles. That was actually really cool!" Tzuyu stared at Sana for a second, her cheeks turning light pink. "Who said I needed convincing?" She asked softly, barely audible.

@tzuyu "Neither do I, there's still so much out there to discover, places humans haven't even found. Places humans aren't able to go" Sana replied with a smile "Men are idiots, no matter what species they are" she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh " I guess that's why Variah adapted, men are stupid. I'm one of the rare ones who can get pregnant with another female, regardless of species- oh I'm sorry I'm rambling." She laughed softly and moved her hand slowly to lay it over Tzuyu's, playing with her fingers with a small smile "I don't give up easily, if I didnt have hope then I wouldn't here. I just have to hope. That's all i have left" she admitted in a soft voice. "If you ever encounter another siren, run. They are not to be trusted. The others hunt humans, Variah's hunt for fish and other strange sea creatures" she slid her hand up Tzuyu's arm "Since we decided not to trust each other then I guess that's it then" she sat up, laying her forearms on the edge of the tub, her eyes flicking from Tzuyu's eyes to her lips "You should go before I convince you to stay" she said in a sultry and seductive voice

@sana Tzuyu hummed softly, nodding a little bit. "Exactly... And that would be a rather boring world. I never want to stop discovering things and exploring..." She hummed softly. Tzuyu bit back a laugh, shaking her head. "Mmmm... I feel like most males are that way... I went out with a guy once... And he wouldn't let me do anything for myself. It was like a I was a helpless child..." She sighed. "Kids... I dunno... I'm kinda scared to have kids... If I'm being honest..." Remembering the way she was raised, shaking her head quietly. "Well... At least you haven't given up on them yet... I'd like to help you try to find them..." Tzuyu gave a smile, shrugging. "If I died because a beautiful woman lured me to my death I'd probably die happy. Naijan... That's very familiar sounding for some reason..." She pulled her finger out of the water, smiling. "Mmm... One thing about me... I don't trust anyone. That's how you get hurt. And I'm done getting hurt~." Her words were quiet. Even though she wanted to trust people she couldn't bring herself to.

@tzuyu Sana giggled softly "Well, that is true. If we knew everything in the world then there would be no mysteries to solve or new places to explore" she said cheerfully and splashes from her excited movements "The male sirens don't understand female sirens, or rather they just want us to stay at home so we can cook clean and take care of the children. I do want to be a mother one day, but I still have so much to learn and discover and now I have to search for others of my kind whom may not even be alive anymore" she let out an exasperated breath and ran her fingers through her hair. "Thank you for the compliments. As messed up as it is, Sirens are beautiful so they can lure people to their death. Variah don't do it but the Naijan Sirens do. Their beauty is deadly" she twirled her finger in the water, softly smiling at the Banshee "I'll give you a tip, never trust a siren. Not even me. It's safer that way"

@sana "Of course~ There are still some things even the two of us don't understand." She said, laughing softly. She gasped as the small amount of water landed on her. "Shy? Who's shy?" She questioned quietly, smiling. "Really? Actually... I think that's great~ Men... Are... I'm not really attracted to them... Though... I've never really looked at anyone with much more than a friendly attitude." She knelt down by the tub, resting her head on her arms on the edge of the tub. "You're eyes are really pretty too..." She pressed a small button on the outside of the tub to turn on the heater. "Give it a moment to heat up~." She puffed out her cheeks a bit. "Mmmm... Sure~..." She reached into the tub and ran her fingers over the other's tail. Oddly okay with the scaly feeling. "It's beautiful..."

@tzuyu "It's okay, I'm just glad I have you and Joohyun to help me understand these kinds of things" she playfully splashed a little water at Tzuyu "We're both girls, no need to get shy about it. Where I'm from the same couples are thought of as the strongest, females loving females, males loving males. It's a very beautiful thing that humans don't seem to understand just yet" she sighed sifted and looked at Tzuyu with blueish green eyes "Yes please, I'd love for that to be on" she smiled "Would you like to touch it? You're welcome to if you'd like?"

@sana "I know... I got a really complicated set up... But I thought it was cool~ Thankfully I have such a large tub. Baths are my favorite thing~" She hummed. She turned her head, her face slightly red as she noticed Sana undressing herself. She didn't turn back around until she heard a light splash to know she was in the tub. She turned her head back and smiled. "Alright~ The bathtub does have a heater. Would you like it on so the water stays warm?" She scanned the girls skin and tail. "Your tail is beautiful..."

@tzuyu @joohyun "Thank you, I probably would have never figured it out without your help" Sana giggled softly and then undressed completely, her long hair covering her s, she got into the warm water with a content sigh and grabbed the salt, pouring it into the tub. When she was satisfied she immersed her entire body under the water, using her powers to change into her siren form. Her legs transformed into a gold and rose gold tail with little bits of light blue and dark blue here and there. She slowly sat up and lifted her head out of the water, her skin was the same but there were tints of blues and golds here and there and her hair had become a mixture of blue, green and purple
"Ah, much better"

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu hummed softly, watching Sana for a moment. She was quiet for a moment. She didn't really feel like she had much value, thinking it wouldn't be much of a loss if she did die for Sana while protecting her. But she chose not to say that. "You never know what'll happen, Sana..." She said softly. She stepped over to the tub and the warm water, making sure it wasn't too hot, plugging the drain and adding in the salt. "There you god, Sana~..."

@tzuyu @sana Joohyun sighs and went to bed, only to stare at the ceiling and still thinking of what will happen tomorrow. Is she going to tell them she found the last Viriah siren? Maybe no, it's too risky and might someone follow her to their house. Maybe she had to keep Sana safe and sound while she's here with them.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana sighed softly and looked down at her ring while biting her lip and trying to hold back her tears "I know you won't do anything intentionally to do so but it could still happen Tzuyu. I'm not saying you can't protect me but I don't want one of your lives to be taken so mine can go on" she gave a small smile "If you can make it warm, that would be good for me, it helps me fall asleep faster"

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu laughed softly, shaking her head a little bit. "Aish... Joo..." She hummed. She looked over at Sana and shook her head a little. She was a bit surprised by the sudden protectiveness the other was showing towards herself and Joohyun. "Sana... We won't purposely put ourselves in harm's way. But we ARE going to protect you... Especially if you're the last like you say you are..." She got up and followed the other. "Sorry... My shower handles are a bit complicated. Warm or cold water, Sana?"

@tzuyu @sana "Alright, sorry about that. I'm really curious about it." She giggles before finishing her food and starts cleaning the dishes once all of them are finish. Then Joohyun gave the siren some clothes before she went with Tzuyu inside their room before going back to her own room as well. The detective has a habit to look at the mirror, checking if there's any deformed figures in her body, her father's human genes are stronger than her mother's and she is one of the rare halflings that are no signs of any supernatural resemblance to their supernatural parent.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana covered when she laughed, her eyes disappearing and becoming crescents. "I'll look forward to those delicious meals then she said with another soft laugh. "I've been searching for others of my kind but I believe I truly am the last of the Variah, which isn't a good thing. Because of the unique properties in my blood, people are going to search for me, very very bad people" she admitted with a heavy sigh and then tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and leaned her head on her hand "But I know that the two of you will do everything you can to protect me. You should know this though, if it comes to it I don't want either of you dying while trying to save my life, I'd never forgive myself if that happened" her eyes flashed a purple color in warning "I've lost too many people already, I don't want anyone else to die so that I can live" she spoke in a serious tone and then finished her soup off with a smile "I'm going to head to bed, thank you both for everything goodnight" she said with a tone of finality and grabbed the salt taking it with her. She went into the bathroom. closing the door behind her and then turning on the water and adding salt to it, she sat next to the tub and swirled her finger around in the water, she knew she had been harsh but it was better this way, to not get attached, she was only here for protection and that's all.

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu hummed softly as she started eating, looking up at Joohyun. "Goodness, Joo... Let the girl eat before we bombard her with information." She said, smiling. She looked over at Sana, watching her face. "If you'd like to talk about this tomorrow... We can go to bed after we're done eating..." She put her hand on Sana's shoulder. "We would do this for anyone who needed our protection. And right now... That's you..."

@tzuyu @sana She smiles and looks at the two, "Well, I guess for now you'll have to get used to eat delicious foods." Joohyun told the siren before humming. "We were looking for the other sirens like you, but you are the only one we found, yet." She told the siren.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana gave a smile to Joohyun "Thank you" and then used the spoon that was given to her to eat the soup. She let's out a squeal of delight when she tastes the soup "This is delicious, I've never had soup like this, at least not yet. I used to live off the coast of Jeju but since my family is no longer around I've just been sleeping here and there while searching for any surviving Variah sirens" she replied sadly and moved her soup around with her spoon "thank you both for taking me in, I'm not sure how I can help you but I'll do everything I can for you two"

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu hummed softly and walked over to a cabinet after getting an answer from Sana. She went through the several types of salt she owned and pulled out a bag of sea salt. "Here we go! Sea salt!" She said, smiling. She took it into the bathroom. "I have a lot. I never know who I'll meet~." She hummed softly, taking the bowl from Joohyun. "Mmm... Thanks Joo~." She sat beside Sana, humming softly.

@tzuyu @sana Joohyun nods and starts preparing a hot beef stew for the three of them. She hums a song while cooking and prepares some plates for them, when the cooking is done, she took a ladle and gets a stew for Sana before giving it to her. "Here's for you." She smiled and gives another to Tzuyu, then get one for herself. "Okay, let's eat." Then they start eating. Joohyun looked at Sana, she knows she had to get some questions to her so she'll have to make the question easier for her, "Sana, where do you live, exactly? I mean, what country?"

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana giggled softly "Thank you Tzuyu, I'll be using it every night just so you know" she warned playfully "I'll enjoy it then, oh sea salt is the best but regular salt will be fine too" she replied and then turned to Joohyun "I'm starving actually, I'm not picky so I'll eat anything you cook, thank you Joohyun"

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu hummed softly, glancing over at Joohyun before smiling. "Of course you can use mine~ It is a rather large tub, honestly. Which is why it's mine~." She said, smiling. She wasn't as germaphobic as Joohyun BUT she does keep her bathroom nice and clean. "It just so happens that I just cleaned my tub this morning. So it's nice and clean for you~." She hummed softly. "Ummmmm... Sea salt, pink salt, or regular salt?"

@tzuyu @sana "Bathtub? We have have two bathtubs, we have separate bathrooms but you can use Tzuyu's. Her bathtub is bigger than mine." Joohyun winks at the Banshee. In truth, the halfling is very stingy when it comes to hygiene inside her bathroom, she doesn't want anyone to use her bathroom because she didn't frequently cleans it. "By the way, are you hungry? I can cook you some foods!" She told the siren.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana let out a sound of amazement as she and Tzuyu went through the car and all the way into the apartment "Woah, that's even cooler!" She said excitedly. She relaxed when Tzuyu said they were completely safe. Sana took each of the girls hands with a smile "Thank you so much for this, I'm not sure I would have lasted the night without the two of you. One small thing I need to ask though, do you have a bathtub? I'm used to sleeping in water so it would be weird to sleep in a bed. Ah I'll also need some salt if you have any, but if you don't then I'll work with what you have" she giggled softly, letting go of the girls' hands to cover

@sana @joohyun "Aquasating... That's really cool, Sana!" She said, smiling. stopped using her ability when they got into the car. But as soon as the car stopped she used it again, allowing the two to just move through the car instead of having to get out. She used her ability until they were safely inside. Tzuyu moved through the walls, checking ever possible hiding spot before returning to the other two. "We're safe here... As long as the windows stay locked and the door is locked.

@tzuyu @sana As soon as Joohyun stops the car to the parking lot, she turns off the engine and gets off the car and opens the door for the two to get out before looking around if anyone sees suspicious. "Let's get inside." She then grabs a key for their apartment door and opens it and let the others get in first before her. She locks the door and went to the living room. "Here's our apartment, it's not much but its cozy." She smiles a bit.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana leaned against Tzuyu, curling up against her more so than anything. She felt safe knowing no one could touch her, for the first time in a long time she wasn't alone. "I'll answer any questions you have after I've gotten some rest, I used the last of my energy when I went through that puddle to escape" she slowly lifted her head and looked at Tzuyu "Oh right I forget that people don't know that about my kind. Variah sirens have the ability to teleport through bodies of water, even just a small puddle can allow us to go far away. We call it aquasating. Only Variah's have the ability no other sirens do. I'm worried that if there are any Variah's left they're hiding by using aquasating...but that's just me hoping I'm not the last of the Variah's"

@sana @joohyun Tzuyu took the other's hand and used her intangibility to make sure the other couldn't be touched by anyone, including Joohyun, but Tzuyu. "We should take it easy on her, Joo... Maybe we should let her sleep for a while... Then we can ask her a few questions... But take it slow... I don't want to overwhelm her..." Tzuyu said softly. She looked at Sana. "So... How did you do that earlier? We went through that puddle... That was... Really weird but super cool at the same time!"

@tzuyu @sana The inspector takes the two to their apartment, she gets the last siren to their car and she starts driving. Joohyun kept her eyes on the road while Tzuyu is keeping her safe in the passenger seat. "We have so many questions to ask you when we get there, Sana. I hope you don't mind." She told her softly while driving.

@tzuyu @joohyun Sana's eyes traveled to where Joohyun was looking, her eyes widening in fear "We need to go now, if they notice us we'll never get away" she said with a trembling voice and then nodded to Tzuyu "That's fine, I just want to get away from here, those men could be part of that same clan" she looked down at Tzuyu's hand, hesitating before laying her hand in the others "I trust you, both of you"
