The water so black that the darkness hummed
Not one to say much more than necessary, Maru gives a slightly amused smirk in return to Amun's agreement. The Ascended man (and what a strange new term to add to his vocabulary) is quite the energetic and mischievous thing, apparent even in the throes of his grief.
A slight frown mars his face at the confirmed lack of consent, but it's not as if he can do anything about it now. Nevertheless it grates in that small, insistent way that will keep him up tonight. Focusing instead on the question, Maru takes pity on the man's confusion, and lifts a tentacle from the water to curl around a lock of hair. "I cannot leave these waters. I cannot breathe if my skin is not kept hydrated, and my kingdom lies far below the surface." A wry grin tugs at his lips. "Unless your Goddess would like to take a swim, I'm afraid I am restricted in my interactions with any deity."
