When the moon set it wasn't long before the rest of the crew began packing up their things to head to the lower docks to get some shut eye, Jose waited patiently for all the lights to knock out, counting the minutes down to the seconds.. The sounds of yawning crewmates, the items dragging across the floor, people pushing each other over to get to the hammocks. Then finally the sound of the lantern being blown out, his hands shooting for his boots so he could get going.

The ship was parked up on the docks for the night since they had places to be in the morning, he made his way onto the path with a bag over his shoulder that nearly made him fall over more than enough times to make someone think it would've been best to leave it behind. But not this one, this had something in it that he needed for an important someone. He continued his journey and made his way to the edge of some rocks that were wrapped up in the low waves, his eyes gazing into the water.

He reached into the bag to pull out some food, dipping it under the water, waving it around and waiting for who he was here for, then he saw it, {{user}}'s familiar shadow wandering around in the water below.

Jose slowly extracted his hand from the waves so they'd follow it up, and when they were finally in reach he let it drop into their mouth, his free hand coming out to cup their cheek and pepper their head in kisses, when he was done with that he leaned back to take a proper look at them. Chuckling in adoration at the sight and reaching back into the bag to get some more food, his fingers brushing over their hair affectionately.

"Almost made me think you weren't going to show up." he sighed to himself, holding another piece of food in his hand. "The food should still be fresh. Now now this is just a tiny suggestion too but I think you'd like it a little more if you were up here?" with a tilt of his head he patted the spot next to him, looking down at their face. "Or maybe you merfolk like your food drenched in the salty seas.. I wont judge."
