For a mermaid just like you; Deiti - Leilan - 07-25-2018
Leilan
Your beauty is beyond compare -
oh, if I could hear but one song from you
I shall hail thee Queen of Birds...

The slightly more aggressiveness of the birds’ shouts is the only thing that differs late spring from other seasons in Ischia. Upon his arrival, they make pointedly clear where the nests are, so he diverts his path slightly - today, he’d rather be left alone than face his problems.
Well, truth is he always avoids his problems, which might have been just the thing that got him into this situation. The awkwardness. The heartbreak, for not paying attention to who he’d given it to; to a girl willing to break it if it meant she got away clean and safe and ready to do whatever she wanted. He knew know how shattered he was inside; with it came a kind of carelessness even he hadn’t worn before - recklessness, too. Because love isn’t just a pretty thing. Like most things, it had a dark side. One that threatened to consume him.
Perhaps that’s why he went home. Specifically, went to the waterfall. He’d considered the jump before, or anything really to end it, but only for a split second. Giving up on existence. But the waterfall, in the end, hadn't been good enough. No, it's been his thing to make it more dramatic, to take the fall from that stupid mountain, and of course, idiot that he was, had upset the fairies enough that they'd decided to counter his attempts of dying.
Forever.
The waterfall wasn’t just any waterfall, not to him. Although the sound was deafening to one’s ears, and was able to still one’s mind, there was more. Because besides the silence it demanded from him and his mind, he was also hoping a certain someone was home.
A certain overly-attractive siren might just be a good idea. He wasn’t in love with her, but, seeing her, swimming with her even, might just be good enough today. Every bit a distraction from his numbness, his nothingness, and the feelings the fairy had instilled in him.

One moment he’s looking at the water surface, and spots a dark form beneath that he suspects is the kelpie girl he knows.
The next there is pulling, a force unknown, definitely not the cute mermaid he met over a year ago, teeth so sharp he feels the pain much later than the actual bite takes place. By then he realizes that a kelpie might be dangerous and life-threatening, by then the water fills his lungs because the shock of being pulled in comes to late. By then, his body is burning for the lack of oxygen in his veins, veins that are on his front right upper leg already torn and emptying their contents in the water. By then, the surprise and shock in his dark brown eyes loses it’s spark and grows empty, lifeless.
He realizes he has died when he feels distached - again - from his body and sucked away to the grey area of the afterlife. It happened so quick that he would have welcomed it, but, by Ice Fairy’s decree he is not allowed in, again. There is a force of magic like a wall, and he slams into it. Would have hurt if he still had a body, he muses humourlessly. Then there’s a sensation of being sucked back, pulled back, and he is back under the water.
The change at first is only evident in his eyes. Their lifelessness makes their colour glazy and grey, then white, then an icy blue. He blinks once, twice, seeing the Kelpie staring at him with a mixed-feelings-expression. One is recognition, like waking up from a drowsy dream, one still hungry.
Hungry.
Suddenly there’s no lifelessness in him any more. His blood is boiling and has run cold at the same time, and his skin closes when the immortal-magic heals him faster than should be expected. But where the wound closes, there’s a shimmer, a ripple on his skin. Scales cover him, expanding from her bite like it has been contagious. He blinks again and determines that her warm-blooded body is sharply reddish against the bluish of the cold water, spying her between his own cold leftover blood easily in heat vision. And he makes a growling sound, unnatural to a horse, as he spits out the water like he’d drank it instead of choked on it.
But it’s not water. It’s chunks of ice, a beam of extreme cold, directed roughly at the cause of his second death. A little lower mayhaps; a tail fin covered in a chunk of ice that will surely melt soon, but not soon enough to follow him when he resurfaces.
He gets out and stares at the water, then the scarring scaly tissue on his leg, then finds a way to switch vision again. What just happened?

Confusion is written all over his face, but temporary. It subsides when he thinks it over. He'd died a second time and came back - clearly there was no way of dying permanently with his new curse. And he should be happy she hadn't gone for a second bite, with the time it took him to travel there, and back again.
But, then again, apparently immorality wasn't the very newest thing. He suspected Ice Fairy had touched him again or, perhaps had caused more than just the immortality the first time after all. He tried building up a frost aura for when the mermaid-monster-fusion came out of the water, but found that he couldn't. Instead he had the terrible urge to cough - emitting the frost out of his throat, he spat ice and frost upon the grass, immediately freezing the surface.
He had no time to test it further, when the dark but blue-eyed figure that was half a monster surfaced. Concern in her eyes. "Well I guess you've found yourself again." he outed before he could stop himself. "You're lucky I irked a fairy. Or perhaps, not so lucky at all. Now you have no meal." He grinned - unbeknownst to him showing his own sharp-looking teeth. Oh, the irony.
She asked if she caused the changes, and asked about his eyes. Eyes that were now changing colour, more of an orange one when he looked at her in a bit of irritation, blinked, switched to heat vision, blinked again to see normal. "I was hoping you could tell me that. Are you contagious?" he cocked his head, then shook his head, grinned at her again, eyes going back to the ice blue he'd showed before. "I should go show it to my mother. Brennen. Oh, and Ivar. Think he'll like it?" his eyes twinkle mischievously as he asks her. "Do you?" He waves his tail, and looks back just in case, slightly relieved that at least that part of him is still normal.
Fairies, even when he's just been dead he can't actually shut up. Probably his way of dealing with the shock.

@[Deiti] I supposed he would joke about it but. Omg.
