[@wolverbells][@Belle] Link noded at the question of him being killed. [color=lightblue]"I believe you, but since I will not harm you....I am more afraid of what my kin will do if I were to be found"[/color] He proceeded to slowly lower his hands, having felt that he showed that he was not armed for long enough. [color=lightblue]"As for what I am doing on my own....I didn't fit in...to put it lightly my kin established that I was no longer welcome amongst them and that I was no longer allowed there...I have been living amongst a pod of orcas or wandering alone for quite some time"[/color] As the other mermaid spilled out information link winced. Each sentence felt like a punch in the gut, yet he knew the tendencies of his brethren. even though he knew the tendencies he still couldn't help but feel slightly offended at the constant use of monster and how she seemed to be pretending he wasn't there. So, he decided to focus on the one with the shell. However, at the mention of turtles he seemed to light up. [color=lightblue]"may I help? I can keep predators away."[/color] this would give him a chance to learn more about these mermaids. Along with giving him information that would keep him alive, this may also help him gain their trust. Both equally rewarding results of helping.
