Description

For my llady :iconladydragontear: for our 4-year-6-month-aversary :love:

Anyway, this is Misu and Mariatu from my Books, having a humorous moment that doesn't actually happen in the story. Misu's situation in life, though she is kind of a princess, is not exactly a happy one, and her relationship with Mariatu is an escape from that. So apparently, in expressing this, Mariatu took it the wrong way ^^; As for what Mariatu is saying, not only is she misunderstanding her again, but she's always felt a little trapped in her role as High Priestess even though she feels honored by it. So I imagine running off to be a pirate might be a little appealing. Plus, pirates are cool, as are mermaids, and this was a great excuse to draw them together :ahoy:

:bulletred:EDIT:bulletred: I was really unhappy with how this looked, so I futzed with the brightness and contrast some, and this looks better. A lot of the shading in Misu's hair is lost, which annoys me, but I still think its better than how it was before. Sooooo yeah.

Hee, this is cute. I really like the way you've blocked it out.
