[ There's a reason that her little group chose to settle by the lakes--in part by their convenient placement on the road from the Primary to the Secondary Settlements, but also because Himeka just really wanted to be by the water. It's not the same as the sea or even the coastal shores of the Tertiary Settlement, but it feels right. Whenever she gets that desire to go below, now all she has to do is walk outside the front door.
And go she does--often as well. Mapping the bottom of the lake, familiarizing herself with the variety of creatures that live within it all bring a familiar comfort. It's just her and the fish on most days.
But this doesn't seem to be most days.
Movements that sound too large to be of the fauna she usually finds mulling about this time of day hit her horns. She pauses in her own explorations only a moment before immediately changing direction. Should there be any large new beastie moving in...she'd like to be the first to welcome it! She sees some debris float by (and nearly get caught in her hair) as she gets closer, wondering if it whatever it was has started to make its home in some of the old boats that were laid to rest on the floor.
Her eyes widen when what comes into view is most certainly not a beastie or any fish she's used to seeing in the Black Lakes...it's...someone like her?
Or--well, not quite. They're definitely more people-shaped than fish-shaped though, so she doesn't hesitate a second to swim on over with a few powerful flicks of her tail. Her gaze shifts quickly from person to sunken treasure as a bright smile spreads across her face. ]
What have you got there?
[ Like this is totally a normal thing that people do. (She's not a shark.)
She usually swims naked and shameless but can be in some undergarments for his delicate eyes! ]
