just take your time wherever you go
Saiden had spent his entire life on or near boats. So he knew them intimately, even ones that he hadn't sailed before. Given how patiently he was waiting for a fish to bite, his senses were on high alert.
Perhaps that was why he felt the faint rocking of the boat, sensed it when something brushed against it. Frowning, moving as slowly and cautiously as he could manage, he reeled in his line. Setting it down carefully, he turned at a glacial pace and tiptoed to the other side of the boat.
Peering over the edge, his eyes widened when he saw a mermaid there. However, it quickly flashed into a smile. "Hello there. You don't need to be shy."
