- NATE -
no surrender, no retreat, i'll tear down every wall
just to keep you warm, just to bring you home
just to keep you warm, just to bring you home
Well, the fact that even as a shark the girl was in control was comforting. Kind of. Nate would still rather not have to deal with it at all, but hey, wasn't there some saying about choosy beggars? If dealing with a potentially random shark shift was the worst the mermaid had to offer in exchange for helping him out, then that was something he could deal with.
"One or two it is." He calls out, privately feeling like he was getting away with robbery, but the less fish he has to give away, the more get to sit on Sam's doorstep. Or the doorstep of wherever he's staying, with a very elaborate card that says For Sam. So he knows for sure.
Nate can't see what's happening underwater, the manoeuvring the mermaid is doing, so he just has to hope whatever happens is effective. He doesn't need to wait for long though, the net pulling suddenly, strong hands moving to pull back, to haul it up into little boat.
It's more fish than he can really believe, more than he'd be able to catch on his own, and far more than he needs. Nate moves to start sorting through them, throwing about half of them back, not wanting to use too many for his backhanded gesture of goodwill. And he waits and watches for the mermaid to resurface, questions actually rising to his lips now that he's had the chance to relax after the shark scare.
