Kotorichan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Kai smiled even more. "Good job~" He stared at the boy for a moment. "You're so cute..." He murmured, gently pulling the merman into a light hug. He kept his grip loose so that Danny could pull away if he was uncomfortable. Kai enjoyed the feeling of holding the boy in his arms, it was so comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 The mer wasn't use to the hug but he also didn't bother pulling away. In fact, he seemed rather curious as to every little thing that Kai did. He wanted to learn as much as he could from the other. Unsure what the contact was, he also wasn't against it and simply remained where he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 After a moment Kai spoke again. "Hug." He pulled away, then hugged the merman again. "Hug." He pulled away again to see if Danny seemed to understand what the word meant. After a few moments he heard a knock on the gate to the area pool area. "Wait." He climbed out of the pool and walked over to the door. When he opened it he saw one of his coworkers. He lightly bit his lip, unsure of how but to deal with the situation. "Wait." He said to Danny again before stepping out. He didn't want to upset Danny with someone else's presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Danny was about to try the new word himself when there was a knocking sound and he perked up like a dog and turned his head towards the sound. It seemed Kai heard the sound as well because he quickly got up and started to walk away, giving another word he didn't understand. "W... ate...." He was trying to figure out the word but Kai stepped out and the mer quickly became restless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Kai returned a couple hours later. When he did his eyes were red from crying. He brought a cart of large, live fish with him and pushed it towards the pool. He attempted to force a smile. "Hi Danny" His voice shook as he spoke, he could only hope that the mer didn't notice anything was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Danny quickly grew impatient. He moved back and forth, scratched at the concrete and swished his tail. After the first hour, the mer moved just below the water's surface and swam back and forth like a hungry shark. By the second hour, he'd all but given up that Kai would return today. Finally he did and Danny popped his head out of the water and swam to the edge to pull himself onto the surface. There he sat for a moment before noticing the difference in Kai. While he tried to fake a smile, Danny could tell how he was feeling without looking so he grew frustrated again and began lifting and dropping his tail irritably.

Kotorichan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Kai jumped at the sound of the mer's tail smacking on the water. "Danny? What's wrong?" He pushed the tub of fish over so that they all fell into the pool. "Were you hungry? I'm sorry I took so long..." His eyes watered slightly and he quickly wiped them on his sleeve, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 The mer actually managed to ignore the food and pulled himself closer to Kai trying to figure out what happened. He tugged at Kai's pant leg with his teeth before huffing irritably again. He wanted to know what happened and if there was anything he could do to help. Danny seemed worried.

Kotorichan Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Kai bit his lip before slipping into the water, gently pulling Danny into a hug. "I'm sorry... I'll be okay... I wish I could t-talk to you, and tell you... But..." He sniffled softly, his eyes filling with tears. "I'm sorry..." He wished that Danny wasn't able to tell that he was upset, since there was no way for Kai to explain the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Danny didn't seem satisfied with that at all and wouldn't leave Kai alone until he did explain it. Sure he wouldn't understand but it might just be easier for him to calm down if he just talked about it. The mer could tell he wasn't feeling better so he hadn't explained it and began to pull at his clothes again with his teeth and nudged Kai probably a bit roughly but still trying to get his point across.

Kotorichan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Kai hesitated for a moment before hugging the mer closer. "I... I have a little brother..." He said softly. "And s-someone hurt him r-really badly..." His eyes filled with tears again and he let out a soft hiccup. "I'm sorry, I-I might have to go away for awhile... I-I just wish I could e-explain it to you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Danny reached up and sort of pawed at Kai before letting out a whimper. He seemed to understand enough to want to comfort the other but Kai suddenly seemed really distant to him and that made the mer uneasy. What could he do when he couldn't even talk or go with him. It wasn't like Kai could just scoop up a 300 lbs merman and take him with him. Danny let out a kind of coo and gently lifted and dropped the end of his tail.

Kotorichan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Kai lightly stroked the mer's cheek. "Maybe I shouldn't go... Or perhaps only for a day... I don't know if you will eat if someone else feeds you." His eyes closed tightly as he took a deep breath. "I shouldn't be worrying you like this, I'm supposed to keep you safe." He pulled away, wiping his eyes on his sleep. "Please forgive me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 Danny now began wishing he really could speak the language. He wanted to help but didn't know how. It would probably help if he had legs but he didn't. A mer was chained to the waters and if they strayed too far, they ran the risk of drying out and dying... Actually, it was almost guaranteed. He was stuck here and at 300 pounds, he couldn't even just be carried around. Still he wanted Kai to go to where he needed and do what was right without being chained to the water as well. So, Danny headbutted Kai a bit harshly before making his way back to the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
