[closed] mother told me, yeah she told me, I'd meet girls like you

[mulletrock]

Who: Dean, Syrena, and maybe Sam a little later.
What: Dinner, a show, and a sleep over.
Where: A sushi joint and an old fashioned club thing.
Warnings: IDK. Don't think so.

[True to his word Dean pulls up in the truck as close to the pier as he can get because he knows Syrena's not gonna want to walk very far.

He leaves the truck and keeps the keys in his hand. He's got some clothes from Buffy and some flip flops under the other room.]

Fins? You around?

[mulletrock]

It's not about bein' polite. Sam's a hunter like I am, he doesn't trust anything supernatural either and he doesn't know you well enough to know you're harmless.

[Dean opens her door for her and walks around to the driver's side to get in.]

[seaphonic]

<sub>[Climbing in and sitting down she closes the door behind her, buckling up. Well, Dean's reasoning made sense. She couldn't fault his brother for taking such a stance. After all, most supernatural or creatures of myth and legend either ate or made a mockery of humans. She really didn't blame him.

Even so...]</sub>

...So I am to pretend I am human?

<sub>[Which wouldn't exactly be hard to do, so long as she kept her mouth shut and stayed sitting. She looked just as human as the next person, although perhaps there was an inherent unearthly beauty to her that others understandably lacked. Even so, her mannerisms were...odd. She understood nothing about this world or human culture.

Maybe this wouldn't be so easy after all.]</sub>

[mulletrock]

Just don't be a dead give away.

[Dean knew it'd be asking too much to have her pretend to be human but keeping her habits under control would make it a lot less awkward.

He takes the car out of park and heads back to his apartment.]

[seaphonic]

I will try my best.

_{[Really, that's all she could promise.]}

[mulletrock]

[Dean manages to get them both there just in time for the sirens to start and puts the truck in park as close as possible to the door that went to the stairs so he could haul her up and get them to his apartment faster.]

Figure you might wanna try your luck with the stairs but if it gets to be too much don't worry about leaning on me.

[Dean grabbed her sushi out of the glove box and went around to the passenger's side to help her out of the car.]

[seaphonic]

_{[As much as Syrena loves to be independent, she's accepted she needs help to balance when walking. Stairs are a bit daunting of a task, especially with the ringing of Sirens in her ears. Helped out of the car she instinctively takes Dean's hand, holding it tight.]}

Let us go inside.

[mulletrock]

[Dean doesn't mind the physical contact and gives her palm a reassuring squeeze back as he helps her down and out of the truck.]

You're luck me and Sam aren't too far up.

[seaphonic]

_{[She nods. If there's one thing she doesn't like, it's heights. Closing the truck door she gives Dean's hand a little tug toward the stairs, the two of them carefully hurrying up and inside.]}

[mulletrock]

[It doesn't take them too long to get up to where they need to be. He wrenches open the door with a grin, and the light from the TV makes the entire apartment glow.]

Make yourself at home.

[seaphonic]

_{[The glow from the television attracts her attention immediately and she carefully, pressing up against the wall, moves toward it. Without hesitation she plops down on the floor, sitting back on her calves, eyes fixated on the screen. It's mesmerizing.]}

[mulletrock]

[There's a sitcom on the TV but Dena's not paying attention to it. He's shrugging out of his jacket and going for another beer from the fridge.]

Sam?

[He's just making sure the kid's around.] SAMMY?

[upstairsbrain]

Yeah? [ He is around! He'd been in his room, but at the call he pokes his head out, hanging out of the door frame to listen. ] Everything okay?

[mulletrock]

We've got company, dude. [Dean gives Syrena a candid smile.] Come introduce yourself.

[seaphonic]

_{[At the sound of another voice, Syrena turns her attention away from the television, although she doesn't say a word. Instead she looks up expectantly at Dean from her seat on the floor. What was Dean's brother like? Well, she was about to find out.]}

[upstairsbrain]

[ Curiously, Sam emerges from his room. He walks until he sees who it is, and then he stops and smiles, nodding his head. ]

Hey, Syrena. [ They've never met, but he takes careful record of the people on the network. ] I'm Sam. It's nice to meet you.

[mulletrock]

[Dean looks a little thrown that Sam knows who she is. Should've figured. He guessed the plan to make her seem human was out the window.]

Uh, yeah I'll let you two get acquainted.

[seaphonic]

_{[Dean isn't the only one who seems a little startled by the fact he knows her name. Maybe Dean had spoken of her before?]}

It is nice to meet you also, Sam.

[upstairsbrain]

[ Nah, he just checks the network. Besides, it's not as if he's not good at snooping. ]

Sorry if this is... rude, but-- [ His expression is soft, curious ] how're you able to be on land?

[ There'd been a mermaid tail on her last broadcast, so... ]
