Seadancer and Crystien's Home

You choose the orange door and walk through. Inside you see two ferilons swimming in a large swimming pool. One is gray with yellow and white accents. She seems to be of aquatic origin; she has fins and a dolphin tail. The other doesn't seem to be aquatic, but he swims as readily as the other. He is brown with yellow underwings. They are playing with a ball. The point of the game seems to be to throw the ball into a hoop floating in the pool with a maximum amount of splashing. You walk up to the edge of the pool and wait. The two ferilons are still engrossed in their game. Finally, the gray one dunks the brown one and he comes up spluttering. You can't help laughing and both ferilons stop their game to look at you. The gray one asks, "Who are you and why are you here?" You reply that you are an explorer and tell her your name.

"My name is Seadancer. My mate's name is Crystien. Welcome to our home," she tells you. Crystien recovers the ball and swims to the edge of the pool.

"Would you like to join our game?" he asks. You nod and then stop. You tell the two that you don't have a bathing suit. Crystien dismisses your statement with a wave of his hand.

"We keep a set of swimsuits for our guests," he explains. "If you like, you can borrow one." You nod and follow the ferilon as he gets out and walks to a previously unnoticed door. He opens it and motions you inside. You walk inside and Crystien closes the door.

"Try one on and see if it fits you. When you find one that does, come out and join us," Crystien's voice comes from the other side. You reply and start trying on swimsuits. When you find one that fits, you walk out and dive into the pool. You swim under the water and snatch the ball from inside the hoop. Seadancer quickly explains the rules. Soon, the three of you are playing like the best of friends. You are ahead by a couple of points with Seadancer behind you by one and Crystien by three. You toss the ball into the hoop one last time and look at your watch. You realize you've been swimming for a couple hours. You haul yourself out of the pool and change. When you come back out, Seadancer and Crystien are drying themselves off next to the pool. You walk up to them and say, "Thank you for letting me join the game. It was fun. It was nice meeting you, but I must be on my way. Bye."

"If you would like to meet our adult cubs," Crystien says, "You can go here. Have a great day."

You turn and walk out the door while Seadancer and Crystien wave their goodbyes.
