[Closed to [personal profile] disassembling MERTRASH

He wasn't supposed to be out so soon during the aftermath of a storm, especially one that was as big as a hurricane. Especially not one of this magnitude. But his body, after the series of treatments containing nasty tasting potions as concocted by Erskine had worked, was strong and new to him, and he loved doing all the things that his weak and sick body couldn't do before.

One of those things were riding the still-strong waves in search of interesting human artifacts to bring back to the clan. There was always more floating around after a storm, especially the bigger pieces, from shipwrecks and things that humans have left carelessly unsecured on their ships when a storm hit. Now he's actually strong enough to bring the bigger pieces home and could go further than he could before. Some of the more interesting pieces he will keep for himself but other would be given to friends or traded for other things.

In the far distance under the sunshine that was starting to peak out from the clearing storm clouds, he spotted the glint of metal and started to swim towards it, eager to find out what his first find of the day would be.

Ah yes, the human tradition of covering themselves with cloth to hide their state of nudity. It was not much of a tradition in the mermaid world, mostly because of the drag of cloth in the water; it was heavy and made swimming difficult. However, Steve being nude meant that the blond would stand out more, so they would have to be rectified.

"Yes, we will have to get some clothing for you or it will attract unwanted attention. A pair of shoes will preserve your feet as well. There are a few coastal settlements we can acquire some temporarily." He nodded his head and began to pick his way off of the shoals to softer ground for Steve, pausing to make certain that the other mer could keep up before even considering heading off at any kind of pace.
