WolfDog12 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 It didn't seem to take that long for the people to clear out leaving the mer with just Kai. Danny looked over at him and huffed but by the way he was laying, clinging to the edge of the pool, the mer didn't have much strength left to stay close to the surface. He was hungry and growing rather sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Kai bit his lip lightly and moved closer. "Danny..." He reached out to touch the mer but stopped when the door opened and someone brought in a lot of large fish on a trolly. Kai climbed out of the water and took the trolly, thanking the person who brought it. He pushed the trolly over next to the pool so Danny could reach the fish.

WolfDog12 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 The mer tried to pull himself forward to grab the fish off the cart but just as he was about to get his sharp teeth around the meal, his fingers holding onto the edge of the pool slipped and Danny smacked his chin on the corner. The black mer let out a yelp and shifted back a little but he had to get some food or he was going to pass out. Danny reached one hand out of the water hoping the Kai could help him to the surface where it would be easier to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Kai's eyes widened when he saw the mer get hurt. "O-oh no." He quickly took Danny's hand and helped him out, bringing the cart of fish within reach so he wouldn't have to move. He sat down next to the other male, his eyes wide with worry. "Danny..." He lightly reached out to touch the mer's chin, wanting to see how bad the damage was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Danny was pulled half way out of the water. Not surprising that Kai didn't pull all of him out, after all, he was a 300 pound mer. Pulling him half way shouldn't be too hard because the heaviest part, his tail, was still in the water. The mer felt the touch under his chin and let out a growl of sorts that didn't sound very vicious as he pulled his head away. It was still sore but his skin was thick so it didn't cut or anything. Danny just turned his attention back towards the food and started to scarf down the meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Kai bit his lip an pulled his hand away. "I'm sorry..." He murmured. He sat back and watched as the merman ate. It was a relief that Danny hadn't actually been injured by that. He just hoped that he could regain the man's trust soon. How could he possibly help the mer adjust to his new life if he wasn't trusted? Of course it seemed like that might be difficult after what had just happened.

WolfDog12 Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Danny devoured all the fish that was there feeling quite satisfied by the end of it. He let out a gently coo of pleasure before lifting himself completely out of the water to look over at Kai again. Maybe he was being a bit harsh but the mer couldn't help but still be a little upset after what happened. Still, he also was aware that it would be for the best to just make up and get along with him. After all, it was Kai that got the mer away from that man that kept forcing himself all over Danny.

Kotorichan Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Kai sat at the edge of the pool and hugged his knees to his chest, staring into the water with a blank expression. All he had wanted to do was help the merman, but it seemed that he had done something unforgivable in the other's eyes. He was used to the people he helped not always understanding what was happening at first. But for some reason this time it felt different, his chest felt tight and his heart hurt.

WolfDog12 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Danny moved a bit closer before lifting his tail and dropping it in the edge of the water to splash Kai before letting out a coo. The dark mer wasn't mad anymore and seemed to understand that Kai only did what he did to help. Opening his mouth, the mer made the most bizarre sound which was actually his attempt at english. Of course, it wasn't even close since he didn't actually know any.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Kai let out a soft yelp of surprise as he was splashed. He looked up at the mer, his cheeks flushed softly. "Huh...?" His eyes grew wide at the attempt at speak. He hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on his own chest. "Kai..." He said softly, hoping that Danny would understand what he was trying to say.

WolfDog12 Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 "Arrr.... ra.... ai... Ai...." He couldn't seem to understand the k... "Ai..." He repeated. Danny was growing a bit frustrated that he couldn't copy the sound coming from the other but he also wasn't understanding that Kai meant him.. the mer placed a hand on his own chest. "Ai." He repeated. His voice sounded strange but alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Kai couldn't help but laugh softly at the mer's attempt. He pointed to himself again. "Kai." Then pointed at the merman. "Danny." He repeated the gesture, also repeating the names slowly. He knew that it would difficult to teach the mer how to speak, but he wanted to do it.

WolfDog12 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Danny seemed a bit frustrated but continued to work on the k sound. After a few repeats he finally managed, "K-ai. K-ai.." That was as close as he was getting. He was breaking up the K from the Ai but it was at least close to what his name was. Finally he pointed to Kai and repeated the word before pointing to himself and making a weird sound that wasn't even close to 'Danny'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Kai went silent for a moment. It would be easy to force the name onto the mer. He gestured towards himself again. "Kai..." He then gestured towards the merman again and tried to imitate the noise he made. Maybe that was Danny's real name. It wouldn't be hard to believe if the mer already had a name in his own language.

WolfDog12 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Danny seemed surprised by Kai's attempt at his language and almost a little offended. Kai didn't replicate the sound just right and said something a bit offensive but the mer knew he was trying and simply let it slide. Though... it was probably too hard for him to say and too easily messed up so Danny pointed to the other, "K-ai," he repeated and pointed to himself waiting for Kai to tell him what to say.

Kotorichan Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Kai frowned slightly at the mer's reaction. He wished that he could understand what the boy was thinking. Maybe he could learn the mer's language later. "Kai." He pointed to himself. "Danny." He pointed the merman. "Danny." He repeated, smiling gently.

WolfDog12 Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 "'Ann-eeee-" The ending soundly like a screech more than words. "'Anny. He repeated. The mer seemed frustrated by his own lack of the language and motioned again for Kai to repeat the name while Danny worked to emphasize the 'D' in his name. After about 20 more tries and practices, the mer finally managed saying, "D-anny... Danny..." Once he said it all together he looked at Kai with a tense anticipation just waiting to be told if he was right or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Kai smiled brightly at the boy's words. "Yes! Good" He lightly clapped his hands together. "Um... What else..." He said to himself. "Oh." He stood up and gestured to the mer. "Danny, wait." He said firmly before leaving the room. He returned with a bag of smaller fish over his shoulder.

WolfDog12 Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Danny was quite proud of himself with his progress and puffed his chest happily as Kai clapped and was excited for him. However, the other suddenly got up and left irritating the mer. He just did something great and he leaves. Kai soon returned to a frowning mer but he perked up smelling the fish.

Kotorichan Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Kai sat down next to the pool and held up a fish. "Fish." He said brightly. "Fish." he repeated. "Eat." He took a small bite of the fish. "Eat." He smiled and held out another fish for the mer. If he could teach Danny the necessities today then that would be ideal, but he didn't want to rush things too much.

WolfDog12 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 The mer went in to take the fish but Kai started to say a word while holding it out... Was he suppose to repeat before he could take it? Danny wanted the food though... 'Fish' and 'eat'? Those were his words. Danny started with 'fish' making a kind of hissing sound that really wasn't right at all. He could even tell and tried to correct it. After a minute, the irritated mer slapped the ground a couple times needing to see Kai repeat the word. As he did, Danny focused on how his mouth moved before also repeating. "Fffff-i-sshhh" Danny was quite happy with that. "Ffish..." He repeated. The mer forgot about the second word and tried to take the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kotorichan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Kai laughed softly when the mer tried to take the fish. He let Danny take it without an protest and took a small bite of his own fish again. "Eat." He repeated, reminding the other of the second word. "Eat" He took another bit to show what he meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDog12 Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Danny wolfed the fish down in about two bites not even letting it hit the ground. He then looked back at Kai as he continued to repeat a word and move. "EEEEEEEEE" Danny practically screeched. "He had to get a little help with the 'T" sound but as soon as he was clicking his tongue properly, he said, "Eat," in a more normal tone. The mer was starting to get the hang of words faster.

Kotorichan Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 "Good!" Kai smiled brightly and gave the mer another fish. "Danny eat fish." He took a bite of his own. "Kai eat fish." He set down his fish on the side and slipped into the water with the mer. "You're learning so quickly..." He murmured, reaching out to lightly touch the man's cheek.

WolfDog12 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 "D-Danny eat fish... Kai eat fish..." The mer said excitedly and swam around Kai a couple times before stopping to watch as his cheek was touched. Danny paused there for a while before nudging his head slightly into the human's hand. He liked the attention and didn't want Kai to ever leave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
