There was something almost noble about this merman. He had a dignity to him that was so rare these days. Something was off though about him, perhaps it was that stare. Rokea culture looked down upon staring at someone for too long, this guy took the cake. It seemed he could see into Rus' soul. That was not a pretty sight due to what he had to do to survive. A light,salty breeze hit his bare skin making him smile a bit. Swimming in his shark form was amazing but the feeling of the air on his skin was better. The heat of the sun beating down on him was a feeling he lived for.

His guest seemed to think otherwise. He seemed awkward on the dry areas. Like he had never walked before which Rus found incredibly sad. The best part of being what he was had to be the duality of his forms. Water and land in one. The top predator of the sea and the top one of the land combined. Rokea were amazing creatures, so they liked to think. He had to admit there was something happy with this thing. Joyful even. He looked at the merman below him as he smiled up at Rus. Oh now that was unfair. A smile like that? Rus was no expert but he figured that the merman should be a bit more worried... 

Ferris. It fit him oddly well. There was a playfulness to it yet also a strong name. No Rokea would ever be named that but that was beside the point. Rus looked at him. "Nice to meet you Ferris. " He said his voice hiding a slight accent. It sounded Southern and sweet like molasses. He looked confused. Belong to the sea? "Everything belongs to the sea, Ferris. You and me. People. We all belong to Mother Ocean and someday we will return. " He said describing the Rokea belief of the oceans. That they all came from it. 

He rolled off of Ferris letting him move a bit. Rus lay with his well muscled chest to the sky. "The thing is Ferris I need you so for now you belong to me." He said letting the sun hit his chest. He looked over at Ferris. Why was he so different? "Where is the rest of your group? You lot move in packs. So where are they?" He asked confused.
