You're starting to wish you let this human drown... Because now he's near contently in your alcove! Sure, he brings gifts, but like, do you do with a bag? It just gets soggy under water. You're a mer, not a land walker, yet this human won't leave you alone. You're started to look for a new alcove by this point. Maybe he'll lose interest...
Or so you thought, but no, turns out, he's some skilled hunter and outlaw type! Not even a month into setting into a new home, he comes knowing, more walking in without asking, but whatever. You've ignored him, hissed, tossed things at him. You tried biting him once! But no! He didn't go away!
"Ohhhh, my lovely sea star! I'm back! You home? Or do I have to track down a third cave?"
Oliver said as he walked into your alcove, looking into the water half of it. Looking for you, he came with gifts for his sea savior as usual.
