Luthais shut the door quickly, not even bothering to lock it, mostly because he had already transformed by then, Luthais looked down at himself, his sea shell necklace tied strongly around his neck came into view, "damn.." he groaned, Luthais felt water trickle down his back, he wasn't much concerned since he knew it was his mane flowing around, Luthais blinked and tried to calm himself back into human form

Ria pushed her martini forward, and the bartender took it, so she had no drink. She bit her lip quietly and pulled her phone out. She started texting her roommate that she'd be home soon, pausing as she considered staying.

Luthais breathed deeply, grateful when his kelpie gave up form, and he changed back into a human, Luthais looked in the mirror, he cursed, his hair was dripping wet, as well as a good portion of his shirt, he shrugged, he was a pool cleaner, right? That would make sense, Luthais walked out of the bathroom and back to the bar, he saw the girl and sat down, "sorry it's took so long" he said, he smelt a bit of himself, and he smelt like the ocean

She put her phone down and looked up at him. "No, it's fine. Did you decide to take a shower while you were in there?" She giggled, looking up at him and gesturing to his wet hair.

Luthais tried to look up, "what? No.." he said, dragging the O, he shrugged, "um.." he tried to think of a reason but found he couldn't find one, he just had to hope she wouldn't push the subject and find out about his Kelpie-ness, Luthais was not a strong person when it came to lying

Ria shook her head and giggled at him. "Anyway, do you... have a girlfriend?" She asked, tilting her head at him.

"Nup!" He said, smiling, combing his fingers through his wet hair, trying to settle it,

"Thats good news." She purred, watching him comb his hair back. "So; do you want to clean pools for the rest of your life or do you have some other ambition?"

"Well, I wouldn't mind becoming a marine biologist" he said shrugging, "but you know, I go a long way to go" he said, a dreamy haze sliding through his eyes at the mention of the ocean and its wonders

"Thats a pretty big leap, but I'm sure you could make it. Sounds like a great job." She chimed, smiling as he got a hazy look in his eyes.
