He looked at the dark shell on his pearl necklace. He hated it it was his reason for banishment when he was still just a shell his color was hailed to be the barer of the prophecy. The one to either cause a great change to the balance of the ocean.
He growled and turned his attention away from it as something odd caught his eye. It was a Nymph far from the Nymph region of Elisium and Elisii Campi. He smirked a little moving a hand in front of his eyes as he looked to the ocean surface. The sun was almost down he could risk coming out of his cove.
If there was one thing good about his banishment it was that he found the Lunam Exido or in other words his cove that was his home, workspace, and storage keeper.
He had been on his own for many years now and already filled much for the cove with books of anything and everything he could think of. It was his way of living he was lonely though he never admit it it was nice to tell someone even if it was book what he was thinking.
He moved from the cove to the small seaweed patch in front of his home. This nymph was causing a stir inside his body he wasn't sure why but he needed to talk to him. He needed to know why he was so far from home.

He knew he was in trouble, and yet something called him out here. As a crafter, Rasif often wandered away from the safety of home. So far, it hadn't caused him any drama or trauma. Nothing bad came of it, only pretty things that made the prettiest necklaces and hair clips. His braid floated behind him as he swam, gathering a few interesting shells and shiny objects that floated here from who knew were.
He was completely unaware he was being watched, far too lost in his own thoughts about the next piece he was going to make. It'd probably be for himself. He kind of wanted to make a sort of crown that wrapped around his head rather than sat on it. And not really a crown either, but made with a thin strip of metal. It would be tricky to make and not break, but hey.. After everything he's made in the past few months, why not indulge himself for a bit. It was only fair.
Sighing, the boy picked up a piece of coral that had broken off and examined it. It had a pretty color to it so he stuck it in his bag. What he would use it for, wasn't known to him yet, but maybe one day he'd use it.
He looked in the smaller bag at his waist, the one that held his two precious shells. Smiling, he took one out and ran his fingertips over it, listening to it make it's little noises. "Oh, sorry... Did I wake you?" he asked it, again, listening to it.

Reed watched from the seaweed his lips frowned seeing the shells in the nymphs hands. This was not good no nymph in their right mind should have children out in the deeper parts of the Basilium Caesitas. He moved closer still well hidden in the thick seaweed.
He took the the detail of the nymph he had a bag on his waist his form was small and sleek clearly not a Guard. Perhaps a treasure seeker? He thought before shaking his head. No they usually had a lot more bags and took pretty much anything but this Nymph was selective. A Crafter then his lips pulled back into a small smirk. Oh the things he could show him in his Lunam Exido.
He moved from his protective cover come up behind the male and looking to him as he smirked a little before reaching out letting his hand trail down the nymphs back. Nymph really never did pay close attention their their surroundings.
"What is a pretty thing like you doing out here? All on your own?" he asked before peering over the nymphs shoulder. "And with your children." He said before shaking his head letting out a tsked sound. "Don't you know its dangerous outside of your beloved city?"

Rasif screamed bloody murder when he was suddenly touched. Luckily, he didn't drop his shell. Shoving it back in the one with the others, his brows knit and he put his hands around his bags defensively. At first he thought it was another Nymph, but ..... Oh s**t. This was definitely not good.
He backed away, still facing the Octo and narrowed his purple eyes at him. This... was definitely not good. Now Rasif didn't know what to do with himself. Brows knit together in fear and concentration, he looked around and decided it was better to just swim back home than try to even fight this Octo.
"J...Just leave me alone..." Was all he said before he tried to swim away.

Reed smirked watching the Nymph react so it thrilled him really. He moved closer to the nymph as he reached out resting his hand against the rock that was now very close to the nymphs back. "Now now that's no way to treat me after all you are in my territory." He said shaking his head and tsking again. "All you nymphs are the same thinking you are free to go where you please." He said in his low raspy voice as his other hand moved up to take the braid in his hand.
He leaned closer to the long hair sniffing it as his red eyes closed slowly it smelt so good. He chuckled as the Nymph pulled away from his touch. He only placed his hand against the rock making the nymph trapped. "Now now I'm not going to hurt you...Well I'll try not to." He teased with a smirk as one of his tentacles up to wrap around the nymphs tail just above his main fin. He didn't hold to hard but enough to let the Nymph know there was no way he was going to used his tail to get out of this one.

The nymph whimpered when he was cornered before he could get away. This ... was an octo. They were supposed to be dead! It wasn't right for him to be alive! Rasif's purple eyes were practically popping out of his head with how wide they were. Then the Octo sniffed his hair. It was really creepy and he didn't think he liked this one at all. Not that he liked them to begin with, but still.
"Don't touch me! Go away, let me go!"
His heart was racing a mile a minute. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten this far away! I can't even cry out for help! No one would hear me... Things looked pretty bleak as he just stared at this red eyed male before him.
Just as he thought about using his tail as a weapon, it was coiled around those damned tenticles. Damn it all! Squirming, he furrowed his brows and looked for any way to get away. Balling a hand, he took a swing at the other, hoping he let go and dodged so he could swim away and leave the other unhurt. The last thing he wanted was someone like that to come after him for a grudge.

Reed grunted as the fist landed in his lower jaw. He moved on hand up to his chin as he worked it about it wasn't broken thankfully. He sighed softly as he pulled away from the nymph letting him go. "Fine fine if your going to act like that why should i both." He said in a slight growl before several dark shadows swam over head. He panicked and pushed against the nymph one hand over the other mouth the other wrapped around the nymphs waist as he slightly wrapped his body around him making him invisible. Well mostly they just camouflaged into the rock wall.
Once Reed thought it was safe he pulled back slowly his heart was racing he thought he had more time. "You need to go." He said sternly glaring at the nymph. "Its not save here." He said as he moved back to his cove to hide and look for his latest book to write down what he'd just seen.

Rasif automatically felt bad that the punch actually landed. He had just wanted him to swim away so he could go home... The best laid plans, eh?
Frowning, he was going to say something before the shadows made him look up and the sudden 'attack' of the other made him whine and squirm before going stock still. Oh god, was he going... He couldn't be doing what ....
Then Reed let go and Rasif blinked, brows knitting tightly. "W..what was that all about?" He asked, voice hardly above a whisper. He didn't want whatever those shadows were to come back. He had a feeling, since this Octo acted that way, that it was trouble, whatever it was. He followed the Octo, not even worried about going back to his own city. He just wanted to get to safety more than anything. The Octo had to have a home, right? He had children with him! Surly they weren't so heartless... Rasif couldn't really remember the stories of them, because he tended to have a bad long term memory, but still...
"Let... Let me come with you? I... It's getting dark and.. I've got children..."

Reed looked back to the male. He wasn't heartless like his kind he thought a moment before looking back to the Nymph. "Well hurry up." He said before moving into his cave pushing away all thought of tempting the Nymph to his bed no that's not what needed to happen even if he wished it desperately.
He moved dipper into the cove opening pulling back some type of plant that hung from the ceiling hiding the secret passage to the other cave systems and to the other exits. He let the nymph go in before him once the foliage was back in its place Rasif was left in the darkness.

He followed the male with no more words or questions. When the foliage was moved, he went in with no hesitation. The octo really didn't show any ill intentions to him, even after he punched him.
Blinking, he felt completely blind! He couldn't see the hand in front of his face as he moved deeper to make room so Reed could get in as well. "...A...are you in here? I ....I can't see anything.." he whispered. He still didn't want to be loud. Caved echoed and carried sound quite well.

Reed chuckled as he came up behind the male as he moved his hands to rst over Rasif. "I'm here the wall is here and here." He said moving the Nymphs hands to touch the wall the passage was small but big enough for both of them to move through.
"Go forward." He whispered into the nymph ear Teasing him as he pulled away leaving him in the darkness as he moved past the nymph contorting his body into a small side to make it where the nymph had no idea he had slipped past.
"That's it this way." He said as said smirking as the Nymph bumped right into his chest. He smirked and wrapped his arms around the nymph's waist before he began to swim backwards easily moving through the passage till the end where they came out of the same foliage.
He let the nymph go and look around the large room that was dimly light books piled up to the cave ceiling with man small different cave exits. The ceiling had a interesting looking flower hanging in the center. Reed moved up to the ceiling as the flower opened and began to shiny brightly.
