.:Leviathan chatter:. After having seen Master Lugia pass above them, having slept for a night, they were on the way to a supposed “Merfolk city”, which sounded quite interesting on its own. But Gladion had a hard time believing that some merfolk were that humongous. Luna didn’t really have any good explanation herself, as the Masters had always been talked about and described as Leviathans among merfolk. Magic…? // she said. The answer of hers didn’t sit well with him, finding that to be ridiculously simple. That’s hard to believe! They are humongous! How are they not being spotted from the sky if they are the size that they are?! // he said, asking her and sounding a little agitated. I don’t know… Even I, a merfolk, don’t know everything about my kind… // she replied. Gladion just sighed and groaned while rubbing his face. I’m sorry… // she added, pouting a little. It’s… It’s just… Hard to believe! // he exclaimed, wildly gesturing with his arms, finding it all ridiculous beyond belief.  Why is it hard to believe? From what I remember….you humans don’t really believe merfolk exist. But...here we are. // she said, tilting her head slightly to the side with a sweet smile on her lips. At least from everyone that’s seen me has always been gawking… // she added, getting a little uncomfortable thinking about it. Gladion just looked at her stunned and a little uncomfortable himself, having a hard time arguing with her about it. She then just smiled, followed by some laughter due to his expression which she found funny. He knew that she wasn’t wrong per se, but his point were that, as a human, how could the Leviathans never have been seen from above? Why weren't there any sightings or photos of them by people in planes? Of course magic were playing a part, but in what way? Did they camouflage themselves to the human eye while merfolk could still see and interact with them? So many more questions were arising, and knowing that they were heading to a merfolk city of sorts, he hoped that there were something of a library or an archive there, so he could do some research about the matter. --- --- --- More mermaid AU stuff. :) And it’s for Lonashippingweek 2022 (aka Lonashippingday 2022)

Summary:

Four years after her father's death and moving away from Kanto to the islands of Alola, Moon is beginning to feel like her life is finally taking a turn for the better.

She's got a matchmaking job she's good at, a supportive friend, and the house where she spent her early childhood.

Everything is looking great!... Except for the continuously growing debt of her late father's house, and the fact that Gladion, her direct supervisor, seems to be holding a personal grudge against her.

Gladion Aether, the son of the President of a renowned matchmaking company —and the obvious choice to take over the presidency— has two very well-defined goals in life: He'll find a way to prove himself to his mother, and he'll make Moon's life a living hell.

He'd rather die than work with the female matchmaker for a day longer... Or so he thinks.

When the tables are turned and his position as Lusamine's heir is suddenly at risk, he'll have to choose between two almost equally bad alternatives:

He can either let his sister sit at his mother's chair instead of him, or collaborate with his archnemesis to fulfill the dream he's built his life around.

So much for Moon's life taking a turn for the better.
