Another day where the sun shone on what was the embodiment of paradise meant another day Olympia could spend not just caring for her people, which obviously was a priority, but generally just enjoying the beauty of the island with her close friends. As troubling as her worries for the future were, the present really didn't offer her too much stresses. The island provided her what most people could only dream of, and she had her friends and people she considered as her family constantly around, with the atmosphere never straying too far from utter bliss.
Currently, though, despite wanting to be taking the day slowly given the extremely nice weather they were subjected to, any chance of relaxation really wasn't up for debate because, approaching their little island in the distance was a rather grand ship. It had been months since they last had a ship pass them by, and while the creatures could survive without human meat for years if need be, there was nothing quite like having the food you were supposed to eat. They were creatures designed to lure men in, and now they had the chance to do just that after so long, no siren on the island wanted to mess it up.
Their songs would be performed as a collective, but often, the ship contained only one person, and so one siren did take the lead in the singing just in case of that eventuality. And in this case, Olympia took the initiative, deciding to be the one to lure the man if he was alone on the ship. After all, she was the mayoress and the leading figure in the group. If anyone was going to take the pressure on, it would be her. Besides, she hardly failed, and everyone knew that. She may be young, but she had her mother's confidence and her intense and breathtaking beauty - she was hardly going to fail.
"...It's coming close, you should begin the chorus," she quietly spoke the the group of two or three women stood around her, observing the nearing ship from their spot on the rocks, where they were able to get a height advantage. Laying back in her real form -she was able to defend herself better like this, if things did get violent-, she smiled confidently back at the three surrounding her. They were her mother's closest friends, and they had all taken a role in protecting Olympia since her mother's passing... even if Olympia often insisted that she was fine and didn't need the protection.
"Just go and get the others involved in the singing, I'll be absolutely fine. Who's going to resist the songs? No man can. We'll be eating and feasting tonight, I assure you," she breathed with an effortless smile on her plump lips, readjusting her gloriously red tail to lay out on the rocks, while maintaining her comfortable posture and ensuring that she looked the best she could be... which didn't take a lot of effort.
"Are you sure, Olympia?" Murmured one of the sirens, stood up in her more human-like form as she scanned the horizon. "You don't want us to stay with you? What if there's a group of men? What if... after last time, darling... I won't allow that to happen--"
"Merida, love, I'll be totally fine. If it's a group, you'll see from your spot on the cliff and you can rush to lure some men away yourself. Now hurry along and start the chorus. I'm... capable of defending myself; defending us and providing my people with a meal. Now, can I have some belief, hm~?"
