 : "After seeing my family getting killed... I'm not about to take a chance. And don't say because I was a baby, I shouldn't be able to remember it. It's hard not to remember something when you get splattered with the blood of your older sister," he said quietly. He paused. "Music box?" he repeated. "I think that's what it's called." |

"Then why talk to me?" Bloom asked almost wishing he would say something stupid so she could go back to hating him. Again she knew what it was like she could only remember flashes of her life before she was on earth.

: "Faragonda thinks it'd be therapuetic if I open up and talk about it," he said quietly. He gave her a wry grin. "So, how long have you been here? I don't remember seeing you here before." |

"In the lake or at Alfea?" Bloom asked, thinking back to when she and Icy fought over the lake. That would have been the only time he would have seen her, she avoided the lake when she could.

: "Both?" Mar asked, tilting his head. His white blond (more white than blond) hair fell in his eyes, making him look rather "cute". |

"The other day was my first day as a mermaid and my first day in the Lake. This was going to be my second year at Alfea." Bloom said as she looked down at the tail, how do you explain that one of your best friends turned you into a mermaid and doesn't know how to change you back?

: "So a baby, huh," he said, glancing up and down. "Rather mature for a newborn." It was a playful tease. |

She wanted to be mad at him but her vanity won out. "Like what you see, Old Man?" she returned.

"Really? and yet all the earth stories seem to give the mermaids red or green hair." Bloom said thinking about the stories her heard when she was a child.

: "Triton's beard, green!" he cried in surprise. "No one, and I mean no one, in my family or the area I came from had green. Green means you're going to die a very painful death." He shuddered. "Red indicates a member of the royal family. White blond like mine indicates you're from the upper nobility. Blue means you might have a life in the priesthood or be a nun, gender depending." |

"So your saying your color hair is what determines where you fall in the hierarchy. What happens if you have blue but don't become a nun or a priest, of for that matter any of the other colors?" Bloom asked her curiosity getting the better of her again.

: "Pretty much," he said quietly. "As for what happens, it's never happened. At least, not that I'm aware of. I haven't been home since I was taken so I don't know if the rules have changed." |

"Have you ever wanted to go back home to find out more about who your people are?" Bloom asked; insanely curious.

: "A little," Mar admitted. "But I don't remember the region I'm from and Faragonda doesn't know either so I'm rather stuck." He glanced over at her. "What about you?" |
