Levanto and Birdie glared at one another.

'Have mercy!' thought Pio to herself. 'I'm treading in deep water here, caught between an irritable dolphin (who smells remarkably nice - minty, I think!) and a too suave & distractable mer-man.'

'Birdie! Let's just hear what this gentleman has to say, shall we. I'm sure he can be of immense help to us.'

She placed herself between the mer-man and the dolphin and turned to face him. He was still holding her hand from their previous greeting, which was fine with her because it allowed her to use his grip to keep her upright in the water without using much energy. She tightened her grip slightly in his and placed her left hand over their clasped hands and smiled warmly.

'I'm called Pio by my friends, Levanto.' She held his gaze with her dark brown eyes. 'What a lovely name you have, & quite unusual. I have been to Tofalas, and played in its mists. It can be quite lovely there. You must show me your favorite sites there sometime.'

'My pleasure, sweet lady.'he said pulling her a little closer as if to memorize her face.

She laughed and pushed on his chest playfully, moving him a little further from her.

'But first,' she said, keeping him at a comfortable distance, 'let us get this little business of four missing hobbits and one hobrim tidied up, shall we? Now, what do you know of this particular hobrim?'
