Ariel was sitting off to the side of the Compound steps, legs drawn up with her chin resting on her knees, looking out at the shadows cast across the long grass by the moonlight. The party inside the Compound was fun, as most parties here were, but in a place so crowded it was nice to get some air. That was a human phrase, she mused, as a mermaid there wouldn't have been reason to get some air, and in fact Father would have looked down on the idea in case a human was nearby. Sometimes at night, when there was nothing to distract her, she couldn't help thinking about them. Tonight she didn't mind.
