Releasing his grip on the canine, he chuckled. His eyes lingering on her dimples and smile just a second too long. He and his dog had the same reaction to the moniker, though Max was the one receiving the affection. Expectedly so though. Max was a love bug. Beaming, Eric spoke. “Aw you’d have our stamp of approval if you just had a couple streamers out.” It was the truth, Eric genuinely loved her store. “Oh you know, taking our daily walk around town. It’s gorgeous out and I couldn’t just pass without stopping by.” Brown eyes sparkling, he met her gaze. “So what’re you up to today?” He wondered, passing his hands awkwardly through his hair.

It was a gorgeous autumn day and Max was itching for a walk, so as Eric made his way to his way around town they were of course going to stop by his favorite red head’s shop. She was turned around when Max started jumping excitedly. She spoke, and Eric nodded, holding the goofy sheepdog back “Looks great, red.” he beamed. “I’m really digging all the fall colors.”

Eric cackled, nodding righteously. “God, how right you are about that. Oh man, Sil it’s amazing. ” Grim was older than dirt, he wasn’t even sure how old he was. “He’s looked ninety since I can remember.” He breathed out, barely able to compose himself. Sil got him,probably more than most people ever would. They were a free spirit like he was. It was really nice to Eric that someone in his life understood how he viewed things. Her next words stopped the young man’s laughter, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his normally relaxed features. “Well that’s a loaded question.” Dipping underwater he pondered. Coming out of the water a moment or two later, he looked them in their eyes. “Save the ocean and its children, and maybe find a more efficient way for cleanup.”

“Hah. That would be nice. Though, there wouldn’t be electricity and that’s just sad.” he told them, propping himself on the side of the pool. “I couldn’t stay away for too long. Work would miss me. And I think Max would miss you.” he chuckled, the dog circling his favorite neighbor. “You’d love it Sil. I even put a few hammocks out there. No one else’s come out yet. I tried getting Grim out there but he said he doesn’t take vacations. ” He sighed, looking at the house as the family’s butler/ honorary grandpa made the pair what looked like lemonade. “He’s such a stick in the mud.”

“Sounds like an untouched treasure island. Grim shouldn’t care, I think he’s been alive since before electric lights were invented,” Sil wiggled their eyebrows with intrigue. An island adventure sounded great right about now,  though Sil was never the type to avoid their work or school. Sometimes though, they did think it might’ve been better for Eric to live in a world with fewer pressures. Why shouldn’t he leave a job at his father’s company, “If you could do anything in the world with your time, what would it be?”

“You should run away, if that’s what you want,” Sil replied, half-joking, half-serious, “Of course, then we’d all miss you. But if you’re just on an island, we could always visit you! And then you wouldn’t half to be alone,” Silvie gave a shrug. Though it was true Eric could be a little bit of a lonesome dreamer, their shared interests could always bring him back around, “Next time the weather gets nice, we’ll have to go out to see your little place.”

“Hah. That would be nice. Though, there wouldn’t be electricity and that’s just sad.” he told them, propping himself on the side of the pool. “I couldn’t stay away for too long. Work would miss me.

Silvie laughed as Max flew water all over the place, skipping around the family’s hedge and hopping the small fence that divided front yard and back. They always came prepared to swim, only needing to shed a cover up before popping their feet in the shallow end of the pool, “Finally off the boat? I can’t believe they keep making you leave,” Sil joked, though it had an underlying truth since Eric’s parents never really got their whole water fascination.

Sticking his tongue out at Silvie, he grumbled. “Hey. Sometimes I’m a landlubber. I just like the boat more.” swimming over to them, he sighed, flopping backwards. “You know, you could always come on the boat with me Sil. I found a little island with a bunch of tide pools that are so pretty.” he beamed, “I think mom and dad just worry I’m alone too much. Well, that and I’m gonna run away one day.”

Eric was cute. Y’know, if Arista wasn’t half sure he and Ariel would probably end up married with five children – barf – she might make more of a move on him. Does that keep her from flirting anyway? Of course not. “Oh, he’s a gentleman,” she teases, voice barely coming out above a whisper as she steps ahead of him. The mention of her rank brought a pout to her lips. “Second?” She raised her hand with double digits, pretending to be wounded at getting second place. She drops the act quickly, hiding a grin over a cheeky shrug. “If you’re paying, I’ll take any place. Almond milk latte, please.”

Chuckling nervously, Eric dipped his head. “Ah, Arista don’t be like that. Love ya both evenly.” a sweet smile twisted onto his face. “As you wish m’lady.” Ordering their drinks, he passed her her latte. “You don’t hafta talk, or say yes, but you wanna escort to your gig?” he smiled, sipping his coffee. Arista was always kind to him and even though he had work to get back to, he loved getting a small break.

Eric was mildly confused why someone was staring at pictures of goats. Intrigued, he tried to make no noise as he walked towards her to inspect it. “What the fuck is up with goats?” he whispered, somewhat suspecting, and then she spoke. “Uh, no not really. They’ve got the eyes of something sinister...it’s like they’re trying to plot world domination..” eyes narrowing he then broke. “But they’re cute as hell.” he laughed. “Seriously though, what’s up with the goat pictures? It’s kind of weird.”  

☆ﾟ*·ﾟ CROSSING her arms over her chest, she looked out at all of the pictures she’d taken over her entire summer. With school starting up again, she knew she needed to get a head start on her assignments. Because her next few classes involved a lot more animal photography, she had to practice. There were quite a few animals that she thoroughly enjoyed capturing, but after visiting her parents for a few days, the one animal she found herself struggling with were goats. They had a mind of their own. Picking up the pictures, she tilted her head to the side, looking at the goat flailing around in the picture, making it blurry. Fawn turned to face the person walking up to her. “Okay, but can you truly trust goats? They look like they’ll take over the world and bounce on you in circles!”

Eric was grabbing coffee on his regular coffee run for him and his dad when he felt a tap on his shoulders. He almost grumbled, people were always trying to talk to him. But his hardened features softened when he noticed Arista, smiling as he noticed she was gesturing towards her throat. “Hang on.” the taller man bent down to hear her over the bustle of the crowded coffee shop. “Oh, yeah no problem.” he chuckled, gesturing for her to get in front of him. “You know this means I’m paying for your coffee now too, right? Buy one get one on favors today for my second favorite Triton sister. What’s your poison?” 

@sunnysidestarters

Just her luck, the coffee shop is crowded. Shit. She knew she should’ve timed this better, but she had left the house too late after spending too much time playing with makeup, as per usual. When she walks in, hoping to grab her dose caffeine for the day before her night gig, the place is buzzing, a long line to the cashier and conversation filling the room from every corner. The scenario wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for her vocal rest. She needs her vocal chords to get a break before her performance, and speaking up in a crowded room is the opposite of that.

She taps the person in front of her on the shoulder, offers a polite smile before gesturing towards her own throat and half-mouthing, half-whispering. “Do you mind ordering for me?”

Eric had gotten a call from Vidia while he and Max were sunbathing and swimming. Quickly getting dressed and making his way back into town towards the festival, he stopped to grab some coffee and a croissant. Vidia was happier when fed. Running up to her booth, he stopped, putting the tributes down. “I know. I know. But I brought tokens of my apologies.” He chuckled, gesturing to the coffee and snack. “So what did you need done, Vid?” Looking at the far away booth, he nodded in realization. “Do you have tools or do I need to grab em out of my truck?” the brunette asked, leaning against his car and taking a sip from his own coffee. 

Vidia had taken over the first round of setting up the booth for the scouts, and she hated it she loved her girls so much especially the little ones but her manicure wasn’t worth this little labour. Luckily, she had a secret weapon, an old friend everyone ( in her opinion ) should have. Eric Daniels, she called him about half an hour earlier, and from then on she had been lounging against her own car, waiting for his. Adjusting the sunglasses laying on the tip of her nose, she spotted his car and waved her hand out. “You are so late Daniels!!!”

Eric was swimming around the pool with Max when he heard a familiar voice. Apparently Max heard them as well, running up and barking. “He hey Sil!” he hollered, pulling himself up from the water. “You coming over or you just gonna stand there and look nice or come on in?” he teased, laughing as he fell back into the pool, making a decent splash. Looking up at the kid he used to babysit, he splashed at them. “It’s way too hot to be standing by that hedge.” he laughed as Max shook himself, water flying everywhere.

Silvie skipped around to the Daniels’ backyard, popping their head over the hedge that separated their families’ pools respectively. Though it could be seen as a little nosy, Sil had been doing this ever since they got tall enough to see over their yards and wave to their babysitter. Of course, Eric hadn’t had to babysit Silvie for a good 8-9 years, but old habits die hard when you’ve known someone your whole life. Sil just checked in every once in a while when they saw Eric’s car in his parent’s driveway, anxious to see another swimming buddy.

“Eric, dear! Over here!” Sil waved their arms over the hedge to get his attention.

Curled up in a beach chair of her own (and a good ten feet away from Eric’s), Ariel’s attention was pulled from the book in her hands to the rather pretty fork that he was waving around in the air. “Pretty. Sounds like you thought of me, which means you like me to some extent.” She felt awful being short with him, but she was still feeling the sting from their latest break up. It’d been a petty argument –but neither of them were obliged to admit it. Instead, they continued the dance. “I’m fine. –Except, I’m feeling a little faint and this jerk won’t share is water with me.”

“And you didn’t bring your own water? Wow he does sound like a jerk. That’s got to suck I’m sorry.” a light smirk tickled the sides of his face as he reached down into the cooler. Tossing a water bottle at her and hearing a thud, Eric quietly muttered, “Sorry.” Without breaking contact with the sea he threw a question at her. “What’re you doing here anyways?” It wasn’t laced with any animosity, he was just curious. He’d gotten to the beach alone, and no one was by him. Not that he didn’t enjoy her company - even when they were tiffing. He stood up, not willing to throw a sharp object at her. “Here.” he shuffled back to his seat mere feet apart and pulled his guitar onto his lap. “Since you’re here, wanna hear anything?”

Eric and Ariel had an interesting relationship. They met when he got home from school, and had been hot and cold since forever. Currently they were sitting on the hill that they would die on. Eric had said something stupid and then something happened and they were breaking up again. Kicking at the sand as he strummed on his guitar, he saw something shiny splashing up from the sea. Placing his guitar against the beach chair, he reached for it just as he caught glimpse of a flash of copper. Pulling a small ornate fork from the sand, he called out, “Hey Red!” Waving the fork in the air, “ I’m not doing this because I like you but I can’t not give you it.” He huffed, holding it out as he reached for his coconut water. “I’m not giving you some so don’t ask.” He pouted. He admittedly missed her, but you can’t just say that. He was right and she was wrong about whatever they were fighting about. “Are you okay?” He asked, side eyeing her while sipping from his tumbler.

Eric was tidying up from his boat ride out to Sunnyside’s sandbar when he noticed Philip coming down the dock. Chuckling as he flung himself around a sail, he waved. “Philip! Hey hey man. Nah, its clean up day. So you woulda found me anyways.” Wiping his hands off on a towel he sat down and opened his cooler. “You want a sandwich? I made a couple. So what’s up?” He wondered, stuffing a sandwich in his face.

After this long, Phillip knew where to find his closest friend’s at any given time. Eric was no exception to that. He knew that if it wasn’t business hours, he was either at Atlantis Beach or one his boat. Phillip, knowing exactly which dock he kept it in, decided to search for him first at the latter. Smirking when he saw Eric on the boat, luckily still tethered to the dock, he reached out and jumped on. “I’m lucky I caught you before you set sail.”

◥ ○ Eric Daniels ♢ Bio ○ ◤

From the moment he was born, Eric’s entire life was mapped out. If it were still tradition his parents would probably have arranged a marriage for him too. If Eric had any say in any of it, he would have requested some sort of input. But unfortunately he was a baby and you can’t pick what family you’re born into. So unless he wanted to change his identity and move to another town ( which would never happen ) Eric decided to buckle down and follow in the generations of family footsteps. It wasn’t hard to get good grades, that was just doing the work and following instructions. What Eric didn’t expect was to find his passion along the way. And for that passion to not be what his father told him it should be. Despite the promise of a secure future and his parent’s approval, there was something that pulled him somewhere else. 

A summer job begged for at the marina ( which may have been because of a girl out at the beach )  turned into a love affair with an old dingy named Triton’s Tale and marine life.  It became an addiction that oddly bonded him with dear old dad. They spent hours on his father’s boat, and for once Eric could teach his father something. A rich man with a business to run never had time to learn his own property, and even though it didn’t take it was still fun. Eric didn’t know if he wanted to follow in every Daniels man’s footsteps. Though, life rarely gives you what you want. Even if you’re the heir to an extremely successful family. Begging for the chance to go to a school for what he loved ( marine biology ) turned into a fight he’d never win. 

After high school, Eric went off to school at Cornell to major in International Business and minored in Law and surprise: excelled. His father didn’t even let him choose his major, which was a bummer but how can you ask someone who’s given you everything to let you sail the world with a dream? You can’t, and so that’s not what Eric did. He came back home after his obligatory four years and was lovingly thrust into Daniels and Son. His father even bought him a boat for his graduation, named her Royal Wander. He volunteers down at the marine wildlife center out at Atlantis Beach every weekend, and when he’s not at work or at home you can find him on his boat.
