"Your dress will become wet," Taiyi warned her light-heartedly.
"It's fine," Tania giggled. She was already looking at men and women who were seated next to each other and were lovingly stroking the tails. She couldn't help notice the shiny blue, green, orange and red iridescent scales. The scales would glimmer every time a ray of light fell on them.
Taiyi leaned closer to her ear and said, "Don't touch their tails, okay? Mermen are sensitive creatures."
Tania pursed her lips as a blush formed on her cheeks. It was as if a child was caught stealing a cookie for a jar. She shook her head glibly. Taiyi took her to a group of courtiers who were sitting the nearest. She introduced Tania to them and said, "Please take care of her before leaving."
