the baffled king composing hallelujah
Luckily enough, until Seren was old enough to make her own decisions about how far into the sea she swam or how deep she tried to dive, Ronin would be there to make sure she didn't get adventurous to a fault. "There you are," he said to his daughter with a smile, nudging her gently and shifting in his place seated on the dock. "We'll make a game of it, see if we can spot any more mermaids while we're on the boat." He nodded at the girl in the water, almost as if to say thanks.
The mood took a flicker, and Ronin's brow furrowed as he realised that yes, of course Delta wouldn't be able to see where they lived just as much as they wouldn't be able to visit the other way around. "I think a picture would be a great idea," he said. "Perhaps we can bring it down here at this same time next week?" They ought to be going sooner or later, but the promise of a future chat with a mermaid would hopefully engage Seren enough for her to leave now.
