{Akari has decided to add a bit more water to the beach. The water she brings is a very bright, beautiful blue, and fairly deep. But more than that, Akari has brought her gondola with her to practice. Akari is able to glide along the water with ease, only a few strokes with her oar letting her glide along the water. And she looks very happy}

Waa~~ I wasn't sure if it would work, but here we are, my gondola! Oh, I hope this isn't cheating. Aika-chan will yell at me if she finds out I get extra practice time.

{She rubs the back of her head sheepishly before she puts her oar back in the water, turning to go back the way she came.}

I think this is okay, though...I could even have a passenger as a friend without Alicia-san here. Just for fun, I guess. Well, I think riding in a gondola is pretty fun. Not as fun as rowing it, but still...

{She's just pondering aloud as she practices, like she usually does. Feel free to ask for a ride if you'd like~}

Undine? [He's wondering if she means the real thing. Since he's seen a mermaid who uses a form, it doesn't seem beyond him.]

A gondolier, by the old terminology. A person that rows boats like this for a living!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I see! I've heard of them, but I've never meet a gondolier before this!

Then I suppose I'm the first one! Ah, but I'm only a trainee, so I'm not a full-fledged Undine yet.

Is it hard to become an Undine?

[remare.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is! You have to practice for years and then pass the exams...I'm a single now, though, so I don't have to wear gloves on both hands.

So you've been doing this for a while then?

A single? What's that mean?
