Beckett's Perspective
I typically preferred solitude, only breaking it to spend time with my brothers, Ira and Caspian, who were part of my hatchling group. Out of the ten of us in that litter, only four remained in the same area. Caspian and Ira often came by to swim with me while Ronen was busy preparing for his upcoming hatchlings, making it difficult for him to join us at the moment. However, we have plans to visit Ronen soon, bringing gifts to celebrate his hatch day and welcome the new arrivals. We're all eagerly anticipating the chance to meet our new nephews and possibly nieces.
It would be wonderful if some of them shared our species, allowing us to take them swimming with us as well. I hadn't expected Ira for a few more days, so I was taken aback when he leaped into the water, half-shifted, with his upper body in his beastkin form and his lower half in fins. In that state, he resembled a true mermale.
