Chapter Text
Weightlessness is a feeling very familiar to Freminet, it's comforting, but in this instance the pain ringing through his body, especially his head, dissolves any kind of comfort he could feel. He feels something in his arms something small and hard, but he can't recall what it is. Slowly he opens his eyes he sees above him are two lights, one closer the other much farther. He focuses on the closer one seeing it to be a blue-ish light.
Staring at this light he feels a chill wrap around him numbing his pain. Without the pain Freminet can clearly see the light is held in something a case of sorts. Both curious and seeking it's comfort Freminet reaches forward and grabs hold of the light bringing it close to himself along with the other object.
Relishing in the cold Freminet looks up again and sees distortions in the light and with the weightlessness and some instinct Freminet realizes he's under water. Looking around confirms this to him seeing fish and sand. With little to do Freminet decides to go above the water. Like muscle memory Freminet swims upwards and breaches the water's surface.
Squinting through the much harsher light Freminet quickly takes note of a few things. For one the item in his arms is pers, two he is surrounded by mountains that he can only nearly see the top of, and lastly there is a blue crane standing in front of him who is staring at him.
The two stare at each other for a short while Freminet feeling nervous as it just stares at him. Seeming to have collected it's thoughts the bird crouches to be closer to him and asks, "Hello young one, if I may ask why are you in the water."
Thankful for the awkward silence ending he answers, "Diving."
The bird nods and asks another question, "Where are your parents?"
Opening his mouth to answer Freminet pauses as when he tries to recall the answer he comes up blank. He vaguely remembers some people, someone who was really nice, someone who was kinda nice but actually mean, and someone cold but caring, but without a proper answer he says, "I don't know, I don't know who they are."
The bird is taken a back and after a moment stands and in front of it's face a blue bird suddenly appears. Freminet wants to ask but decides against it feeling he shouldn't speak until it asks him something. The bird stands and in front of it's face a small blue bird like thing appears and after whispering to it the bird moves above it's head and creates a puff of smoke. When the smoke clears instead of the bird a lady in black and green stands in front of him.
Looking back at Freminet the the lady says, "One's name is Cloud Retainer, speak your name young one."
"Freminet." With the curt answer Cloud Retainer nods and asks another question.
"One can tell by those spikes above your head that you are not human, and if I recall correctly you are an oceanid. I've met only a few but I have seen such traits even your eyes glow like theirs, but I was unaware such traits could stay for other forms that they take." Feeling on his head he feels the spikes she mentioned three long lines that float around the top of his head, but seeing as a question wasn't asked he stays quite.
In the following silence Cloud Retainer starts looking over him before her eyes snag on the stuff in his arms, "Ah a vision wielder. Quite lucky obtaining a vision while having power of another element."
Looking at his stuff Freminet grabs what he assumes is the vision spotting a snowflake symbol on it. When he holds it to look at it Cloud Retainer says, "Fontaine hm well from being an oceanid I already knew you are from Fontaine but this is good confirmation. Now young one to return to Fontaine you must simply travel down the stream in that direction, eventually you will find the sea but keep swimming and you'll find Fontaine. If you wish I may accompany you."
Cloud Retainer points down stream as she talks and when Freminet looks over and thinks about returning to his assumed home he can only feel conflicted. He wants to go back but he also can't recall why Fontaine seems comfortable but he doesn't know why. So thinking logically why go all the way back he can't remember a reason to do so, but the idea of not returning feels painful.
I'm his consideration he doesn't move so Cloud Retainer says, "However I will not make you leave as long as you are willing to be respectful to the people of Liyue and the land itself." Looking to Cloud Retainer Freminet continues to think to which Cloud Retainer says something else, "From your hesitance and your previous words am I correct in saying you have memory loss?"
Nodding his head Freminet quickly crumbles as he spills everything he remembers hoping it'd help him make a choice, "I remember I was in an orphanage and that I had siblings but I can't remember who they were or what the orphanage was. I remember my age, 10 years, and I remember a few things about myself and my past but it's really blurry. I like diving and tinkering with stuff, but not much beyond that, sorry." Feeling a bit disappointed Freminet adverts his gaze looking to pers.
"You need not worry One understands this is not your fault. If one is to recommend one would say you should stay. If you cannot recall your home or anyone returning to Fontaine may be dangerous as you may end up lost or worse." Freminet only nods keeping his gaze on his companion. Giving a nod of acknowledgement Cloud Retainer looks to the sky and says, "One must depart, however I shall return as soon as possible, at most it will be a day at the least a few hours." With another nod from Freminet and a puff of smoke from that bird device Cloud Retainer is flying off to somewhere Freminet doesn't know.
Taking another look at his surroundings Freminet can only make note of a few animals puttering around and some plants. Seeing nothing of interest Freminet dives back into the water to look at what will likely be his new home for the foreseeable future.
Diving to the bottom of the river Freminet floats in the water watching the fish swim by and as he looks around his eyes catch a small hole in the wall. Ignoring it Freminet continues to stare at all the fish curling around pers and his vision.
Until eventually he hears a sound from above him and sees large ripples in the water and a blob of what seems to be a person with brown hair and red clothes failing about. Not wanting to see someone hurt Freminet moves back to the surface and pushes the person onto the shore.
Moving closer to check on the boy he sees they are fine just breathing a bit heavy and covered in water. After some time the boy gets up and looks towards Freminet as Freminet watches him as well, more specifically his arms as he's clutching onto what seems to be a basket.
Unlike the previous person this boy quickly says, "Wow what are those things on your head? And what's up with your eyes their glowing a bit." Freminet opens his mouth to answer but the person cuts him off, "Oh my Archons you have a fish tail! Are you a mermaid? That's so cool!"
"I'm an oceanid which is kind of a mermaid." Having answered his question and made sure he's ok Freminet plans to leave but is stopped when the boy keeps talking.
"Well My name is Gaming, Yip Gaming, thanks for helping me I could have gotten out by myself but I was struggling a bit to catch myself so yeah you really saved me there. I didn't wanna lose hold of my wushou head." Saying that Gaming proudly presents the basket in his arms which Freminet can see has been colored to have what look like eyes on it, "I was practicing Wushou dancing and- wait do you know what Wushou dancing is?"
Freminet simply shakes his head to the question which makes the boy quickly launch into an explanation of Wushou dancing. Keeping up with his long and start eyed explanation Freminet makes out that it's a form of dance ment to replicate an animal called a sunnai.
At the end the Gaming gasps and stands seeming to have had an idea, "How about I show you what I practiced? Then you can see a demonstration and understand how dope it is." Seeing no nice way to say no and no other thing to pass the time Freminet agrees to which Gaming takes a few steps away and holds the basket over his head, "So I'm kinda new to this so I'm not the best but I hope you like it."
Gaming starts moving around in similar ways to how he described with jumps, moving the head, and a fiery energy, but as he warned it was a bit slow as he would pause regaining balance and forgetting parts of his dance. As he kept going he kept moving further from where he originally stood and got closer to the water, and remembering what happened before Freminet prepares to swim and catch the boy, but stops when he sees the boy suddenly stop at the edge of the water and do a pose holding the basket high and one of his legs higher than the other. He stays in this pose until he starts shaking seeming to lose balance making Freminet move in front of him, but once again this proves useless as Gaming quickly moves backwards.
"Ha ha how was that I didn't fall into the water this time." Understanding the performance has ended Freminet claps but suddenly stops.
"This time? Have you fallen in the water before while practicing?"
"Yeahhh BUT that doesn't happen as often anymore because I've been practicing a lot! Anyways that doesn't matter what did you think?"
Gaming looks expectantly at Freminet waiting for some kind of praise or criticism, "It was nice I just think you should be aware of where you're going so you don't fall."
Flashing a bright smile Gaming moves to the water sitting in front of Freminet, "Thanks I'll keep that in mind. Can I ask why are you here? I practice here everyday but I've never seen you before, did you just arrive?"
"Yes I got here today, I don't remember why but I'm gonna stay here now. So I guess don't worry too much about falling into the water?" Seeing that he will be seeing Gaming more often if he truly practices here everyday Freminet tries being more than just complaint.
"Really! If so do you wanna be friends? I can bring you food and show you my practice whenever I come by!" Shocked by the speed at which his slight attempt at friendship worked Freminet readily nods relieved to know he had something to look forward to, "No one is gonna believe me when I tell them this. I actually made friends with an adeptus!"
Confused Freminet tilts his head and says, "I'm not an adeptus, I'm from Fontaine and I don't think they have adeptus."
His words fail to calm the boy who continues in his excitement, "Even then your a magical creature AND your from another nation, honestly I think that's even cooler. Wait did you say Cloud Retainer, you've met the Cloud Retainer! That's even cooler!" Looking excitedly to Freminet Gaming catches sight of the small blue glow in his arms and instantly recognizes it, "Is that a vision! No one is gonna believe me when I tell them this! I'm the first friend of a magic Fontaine creature who has a vision AND who met Cloud Retainer! Wait am I your first friend, you said your new here so I just assumed sorry."
To answer he places his vision on the shore and holds out Pers to Gaming, "Um you kind of are, your my first human friend, but this is Pers he's my best friend."
Poking at it's beak Gaming smiles and says, "He's so cute! Where did you get him? In Fontaine I'm guessing."
"He's been with me for as long as I can remember, but I remember I modified him a bit made him waterproof and gave him his hat."
"You did that? You just keep getting cooler by the second!"
"You're cool too your dancing was nice and you seem really passionate."
Gaming's smile grows wider as he responds, "Really thanks! I tried really hard to learn all of that." Once he's done talking they hear a yell from behind them both one that Gaming recognizes but Freminet doesn't, "Oh that sounds like my mom she must be looking for me. Wait here if she sees you she can't say that I'm lying." As he said it he was gone basket in hand moving up a path and as fast as he left he was back dragging along a woman much taller than him as he said, "Trust me mom he's super cool and you wouldn't believe me if you don't see him."
The woman laughs seeming to think her child is excited over nothing as per usual but stops stunned similar to Cloud Retainer staring at Freminet. Much sooner than Cloud Retainer though the lady walks towards Freminet holding her sons hand leans down and reaches out saying with a smile not to different from her son, "Hello there how are you? My son says you live here now?"
Back to his less friendly self Freminet answers her, "I'm ok, yes I live here now."
"Where are your parents? Are they um nearby?"
"I don't really know I can't remember that much."
A sad look crosses her face as she then asks, "How old are you?"
"I'm 10." Seeing her only more sad Freminet blurts out something to remedy the situation, "Um you don't have to worry I met someone and they said they would come back so someone is taking care of me, I think."
This fails to remedy her as she seems more panicked asking, "Who is this person?"
"She said her name is Cloud Retainer." Any and all panic disappears followed by that same shock as before staring blankly with her son to pick up the pieces.
"Freminet Cloud Retainer is taking care of you?! That's so cool!"
Waving his hands he tries to once again calm any over excitement from Gaming, "I'm not sure she said she'd come back by tomorrow so I think she's going to at least help me a bit. Please don't say anything of that to her I don't want to burden her." Gaming nods agreeing to his request.
The lady sighs and looking conflicted stands straight and says, "Well I'm sorry but Gaming can't stay for any longer, but he can be back tomorrow. So please take care Freminet try to stay hidden these parts of chenyu vale are relatively safe but even then you should return home soon, have a good day."
Without another word the lady leaves taking her incredibly energetic child with her.
⚙️
Having rested in the river the sun had fallen and risen with a new day arriving and Freminet was now leaning on the dry land watching Pers walk in circles waiting for either Cloud Retainer to return or for Gaming to come as he said he would. As if summoned by his thoughts a the water ripples as Cloud Retainer as a bird stands next to Freminet, "It appears, young one, you may have already made your presence known seeing as from what I've heard there are already rumors of you, the "Mermaid of Chenyu Vale" they call you."
Stopping Pers Freminet looks down seeming uncomfortable at the tone Cloud Retainer talks in as he defends himself saying, "I made a friend yesterday, Gaming, he may have told some people and so it got out."
"Well this has already reached the wangshu inn if the conquer's words are to be believed." Looking at Freminet's attitude Cloud Retainer uses the same smoke device and in human form sits and says, "Do not worry Freminet I am not upset I simply believe you should know as some people may come here to check if such a rumor is true."
Freminet feels relieved at the confirmation that Cloud Retainer isn't upset but nonetheless stays quite waiting for her to speak. Cloud Retainer surveys him thinking on her knowledge from Shenhe and Ganyu of what to do with children. As she thinks she glances to Freminet and notices Pers recalling what he said yesterday she asks, "Is this something you have tinkered with? It is very cute, did you create it or was it given to you? What is it's use?"
She points at Pers and when Freminet realizes what she is talking about he perks up more willing to talk on something he knew, "This is Pers, my best friend, I didn't make him but I've changed him a bit I made his hat and I made him be able to move more. He doesn't have a use really he's just my friend."
"Well for someone as young as yourself even that is commendable. I've built many machines in my years but I've yet to make something like this with no purpose. Would you please hand it to me I would like to see it a bit closer." Hesitating Freminet considers if he should but seeing as she just said she's made machines he puts faith she won't break Pers. With the meka in her hand Cloud Retainer looks him over and cranks his key to watch it begin puttering around in her hand, "This appears to be a type of tech I'm not familiar with, I have mainly handled adeptus technology and simpler machines. Though I have heard Fontaine has made many developments in their own technology I'd assume this is one of them."
"Meka constructs, a lot of them are used for like cooking and cleaning, but there are ones who move around and act as guards, some even go underwater. I heard they created one that could decrease gravity." Cloud Retainer's eyes widen in interest returning Pers and puts all focus on Freminet.
"Fascinating I've heard they were advanced in daily life but not so much so to mess with gravity. However I've done similar if not more simply with using anemo to increase how high the welder can jump." Considering her own technological knowledge Cloud Retainer has an idea seeing a good way to form a better connection, "Freminet seeing as you are not only acquainted with tech but also possess your own innate elemental power I do believe not only could you learn adeptus technology you could assist in further my creations. So if you will would you like to learn the adeptus arts of technology?"
Having not expected the proposal Freminet is shocked and doubtful uncertain if he could actually do it, "I only tinker with stuff and have just fixed stuff I don't know if I could do that."
"Such worries are trivial you will not be able to unless you learn how to. You need not fear failing as I too had to learn so could is not the question would you like to?"
Holding Pers Freminet is still hesitant but with the encouragement makes his choice, "It would be nice to learn more and if it can help you then ok, yes I want to learn" Cloud Retainer flashes a smile pleased to have made a connection and make progress on her own wants.
"Now then Freminet I shall begin by-" as Cloud Retainer plans to begin teaching Freminet she is cut off by the sound of running towards the river and a loud yell.
"FREMINET!" Rushing through the bushes comes Gaming carrying the same bamboo basket as before but now full of wooden containers of food. Coming to a stop in front of Freminet Gaming is about to speak before he notices Cloud Retainer and asks, "Oh who's this lady is she a friend of yours?"
Before Freminet can speak Cloud Retainer introduces herself, "Greetings young one I am Cloud Retainer am I to assume you are the boy Freminet said he made friends with?"
What meets Cloud Retainer's words is a loud gasp followed by a flood of words as Gaming talks in his excitement, "Oh my Archons your actually Cloud Retainer that's so cool! Freminet said you were taking care of him but I didn't think I'd get to meet you! I heard you're a bird or can you just turn into a bird? Freminet your so lucky you get to talk to an adeptus all the time!"
Dizzied by Gaming's loud and fast talking Freminet looks to Cloud Retainer for help only to see her chuckle, "Such a lively youth like this will serve to be a fantastic companion, I can see your friendship lasting quite a long time."
The children in their own ways appear more happy at her words with Gaming being the louder, "If an adeptus says it I'm sure it will happen!" Remembering the food in his arms Gaming holds the basket and it's contents towards Cloud Retainer, "My mom made me some Crystal Shrimp to share with Freminet, but I've heard you should offer food to adeptus when you meet them so here you can have some!"
Seeming pleased by Gaming's offer Cloud Retainer responds, "It appears mortals have yet to forget the formalities of the past, a good quality and even better omen for Liyue." Opening the basket Cloud Retainer takes two and hands one to Freminet.
Taking a bite of the parcel Freminet is happy to taste the shrimp and as he slowly eats Gaming asks a question, "Oh wait there's something else I heard about you miss." Perking up at the question Cloud Retainer pauses in eating to pay attention, "I've heard you don't often leave your home so why are you here? I mean like yesterday cause today you're here for Freminet, oh did you know him before and came to welcome him?"
"No it is not that I simply met him by accident. I was here because one of my disciples had shown an interest in the jade of Chenyu Vale and so I thought to look for some to gift them. Speaking of I should inform them of these new developments perhaps they may help you with your vision seeing as they have visions of the same element."
Finishing her thought Cloud Retainer finishes the rest of her parcel and stands quickly shifting back into her bird form and says, "With that in mind I shall now depart and leave you two to your own devices. Freminet be aware I will be sending my disciple Shenhe to teach you to wield your vision, be prepared though it will take her time to arrive." Without another words Cloud Retainer flaps her wings and flies off in the same direction as before.
As they watch her leave Gaming lifts the container out of his basket to reveal a second container hidden under it. Raising an eyebrow Freminet questions it to which Gaming answers, "Well my mom made the Parcels but I made you something else!" Opening the container there are two pieces of bread in the container though their inflated in other areas in a burnt in some, but in a few holes he can see something red inside, "This is my signature, "Yummy Yum Cha"! It's just char siu with bread BUT my mom is teaching me how to shape the bread into a sunnai head so when I finally make that it'll look really good!"
Like before Freminet is confused by the boys action so he asks, "Why didn't you offer Cloud Retainer some? She probably would have liked them."
With the same happy smile Gaming answers, "'cause I made them for you!" To his answer Freminet stares still a bit confused but ultimately admits to the confusion accepting the gesture reaching out to take one of the pieces.
As he starts eating Gaming places the container on the ground raising the basket onto his head again, "Wanna see me practice again?" Having taken a bite Freminet can only nod which Gaming takes no issues from carrying his joy into his dance as he gets into place.
🦝
A full week has passed since Freminet took Chenyu Vale as his home and in that time he's faced little struggle going day to day speaking with Gaming and learning the basics of adeptus technology from Cloud Retainer. I'm his free time he wandered the waters of the river seeing what fish were in the water, though he couldn't name their species he still found his joy in seeing them.
The biggest development had been what Cloud Retainer called his workshop and Gaming his room, that being a small cave under the water. It was open and free of water a place where he could properly work without threat of waterlogging his work, the only issue has been his inability to walk having to instead crawl but he could circumvent that by using his vision to freeze the floor to atleast slide instead of crawl.
Finding the cave has simply been out of boredom exploring a small hole in the cave he'd noticed but in the end it has proved useful storing a desk and tool Cloud Retainer has gifted him.
On this day, however, he waited on the shore, vision in hand, for Cloud Retainer's disciple, Shenhe. Cloud Retainer has said the day before that she'd seen Shenhe in Chenyu Vale and estimated she'd arrive by today so Freminet has waited not wanted to miss her and waste her time.
Hearing the bushes shuffle and grumbling Freminet assumed Shenhe had arrived so he straightened up not wanting to be disrespectful. Out from the bushes comes a woman and a man both wearing simple clothes that seem to have been muddied and scratched likely from an accident. However Freminet was confused as when he first asked about Shenhe Cloud Retainer proudly described her to be a woman with white hair and many other details that Freminet could only barely remember, but with only a cursory glance Freminet could see neither of these people were Shenhe.
Seeing as they hadn't seemed to notice him and may just be hoping to go for a swim Freminet plans to dive into the water and wait there only hoping he wouldn't miss Shenhe. Except as he moves the man calls out, "Wait please adeptus don't leave!" Confused Freminet looks around and checks the people only to see them staring directly at him.
Recalling how Gaming has mistaken him for an Adeptus Freminet assumes the man is making the same mistake, but when he opened his mouth to explain the woman says, "Great adeptus please grant our wish!" Even more confused Freminet hopes to explain but is drowned out by the two yelling their own wishes. Because of the joint yell and Freminet's confusion Freminet fails to hear what they said.
Finally seeing a moment to explain Freminet takes it, "Sorry I'm not an adeptus so I can't grant your wish." Having explained himself he tries to leave again but is stopped when they call out again.
"Not an adeptus? What are you talking about we heard all about you, "the mermaid of Chenyu Vale"."
"I'm not a mermaid or adeptus I'm an oceanid. To what I know I can only control water so I can't grant wishes." The expression on the woman's face turns annoyed as she approaches him finger pointing accusingly.
"Don't lie to us! You signed a contract with Rex Lapis to help the people of Liyue so don't lie to us and help us already!" Explaining himself again doesn't calm either of them only further angering them as they begin yelling more and more reasons why he should grant their wishes. Stepping even closer in their anger makes Freminet back away raising his arms show keep a distance, but that causes the water to rapidly shoot out and splash onto them both. Even more angry the man reaches to grab Freminet but when he gets close a burst of cryo releases from his vision freezing the water on them causing them to back away.
They seem to ready to jump in the water just to get to him, but before they can even say another word a hand grips both of their shoulders from behind and in an instant they are thrown far into the bushes crashing with loud yells of curses.
Lowering his arms Freminet looks at the new person recognizing the white hair and says, "Miss Shenhe?"
The Shenhe nods her head and asks, "Are you Freminet? Our master informed me you would need my help to learn how to use a cryo vision." Nodding his head Freminet returns to the shore presenting his vision. Before she acknowledges it though she turns to look at the people who had passed out from the impact, "It seems you have used it somewhat when your panicked but our master also said you've used it to freeze water in a work shop of yours." Pausing for confirmation Freminet once again nodding to Shenhe's statement, "It seems your most used to freezing water which is the easiest thing for a cryo user, but would be even easier for someone who has hydro power and lives in water, I can't teach you about your other powers but I can help you use cryo for more than just freezing blindly."
Nodding along Freminet displays his usage holding the vision to the water releasing a burst of cryo energy freezing a chunk of ice into the water. Shenhe nods but gives no emotion as she looks at the ice and then back to Freminet, "If I could ask do you have a place I can stay as I must stay here for some time to teach you and would rather not go to a town."
"Uh yeah you can stay in my cave but I don't have a bed so you'd have to sleep on the ground."
"That is no issue I have a bed roll."
"It'll be get wet but Cloud Retainer helped me make a device that can dry stuff. So you can't sleep just yet but you can in once it's done drying." Shenhe nods to which Freminet reaches out a hand, "Let me guide you it'll be easier if I do." With no complaints Shenhe reaches out and takes his hand and gets pulled under water.
🌊
Shenhe had stayed for two weeks helping Freminet better use his vision as he learned to create ice chunks without water and even learned how to create an ice copy of himself from Shenhe's own abilities. I that time He'd also leaned to better control his hydro powers being able to move water with ease and lift it moving it around in the air as a ball of water.
And the day after she left Gaming came to visit Freminet like any other day. Over the two weeks Freminet had displayed his training, and with Shenhe gone and his training of the basics complete Freminet displayed his skills to Gaming's amusement.
"Freminet that's super cool! I wish I had a vision so I could fight."
Chuckling at his friends enthusiasm Freminet says, "Miss Shenhe said a vision isn't the biggest part of fighting it only helps. So you could still learn to fight if you want."
His words make Gaming stand up seeming both shocked and excited, "Really!? YES! You'll see I'll become just as strong as you!" Freminet laughs at his friends antics which catches Gaming's attention, "What do you think I can't?"
Not expecting the accusation Freminet quickly defends himself, "No no it's just funny excited you are. It'll take a lot of effort."
Now Gaming laughed proudly displaying his arms, "I'm already really strong from helping my dad and my wushou dancing! I bet I could carry you!" Once again Freminet laughs at Gaming's actions but this time instead of asking a question Gaming takes it in his hands to prove himself so he walks to Freminet and pulls him out of the water.
Within moments Gaming realizes he didn't think this through as because of the water it's hard to keep hold of Freminet and because of the shocks Freminet squirms not expecting to have actually been picked up. With a lot of struggle and almost dropping Freminet Gaming finally maneuvers Freminet to hug him inorder to keep hold and not fall while he holds him up by the torso as the two just hug as Freminet keeps him from falling. The two stand still unsure what to do until a loud laugh is heard from above as Cloud Retainer quickly lands using a wing to cover her beak as she chuckles at the children's position.
In her bird form she asks, "One must inquire as to what you two are doing?"
Freminet being too embarrassed to answer looks to Gaming to respond instead, which he does, "Well I said I would leave how to fight and that I was super strong but then Freminet laughed! So to prove it I picked him up!"
Letting out another chuckle at the story Cloud Retainer says, "I'm shocked you would lift him from the water, I was under the impression you still believed him to be a fish of sorts." At her comment Gaming looks at Freminet and panics.
"AH sorry sorry I have to get you back into the water!" As he scrambles moving to the river to dump Freminet back in Cloud Retainer laughs while heartedly as Freminet at first confused laughs too and says.
"Don't worry I won't die out of water I'm not an actual fish I only have a fish tail." Looking to his friend Gaming stops and sighs with relief seeming embarrassed as the two others laugh. Eventually though Gaming perks up seeming happy again.
"Wait this means you can come travel with me! We can go around and play and you can come to my house!" The other two are shocked by the proposition not having even thought of Freminet traveling out of the water. With the idea now planted in their head Freminet's eyes sparkle with excitement as Cloud Retainer looks both happy and concerned of what could happen. In their revelation Gaming says, "This also means when I become a professional Wushou dancer I can take you with me to my performances! You can have the first row and see all of them!"
Freminet seems both excited and shocked saying, "Really? You want me at all your performances?"
With no hesitation Gaming looks to Freminet happy as ever saying, "Of course your one of my best friends. Ya know what I promise to you when I get to put on my first big performance I will bring you all the way there and give you the first row!"
Watching the two boys finalize their promise with a pinky swear Cloud Retainer can only smile knowing their Friendship would last for a very long time.
