Johnny wasn't sure what was so funny, nor why the strange man had bared his teeth at him. A trill rumbled from his throat, frustration bubbling within him now. Who was this man to dismiss him? He, soon-to-be adventurer? When the boy went to step back onto the dock, the merman reached a hand up to grab his ankle and bring him into the cool waters. Now on even level, maybe the man would give him more information. Why wasn't it any of his business? Who decided what was his business? Johnny thought that the shiny thing was definitely his business. It was shiny, he liked shiny things. This train of thought made sense to him.
Before he could demand more from the boy, he heard a voice. Angry. The man! The captor! There were sounds of footsteps on the dock as the man approached.
His hand gripped tightly on Korbin's leg, his talons digging into his flesh. The merman quietly hissed to himself before choosing to pull the boy deep into the water. The water was already an inky black, but Johnny continued to the depths of the Kaiholo Port. Give it to me, rang out his voice within Korbin's mind.
How long could land-walkers survive under water? The thought crossed his mind for a moment, but then left. He tugged at the boy's leg. I want it.
