She had an immense curiosity about life
It wouldn't be fun for either of them to get Delta on the ship... could she even get on a ship safely? That was a question for another day when she actually felt safe (and maybe if her father was around). Curiosity was one thing, being potentially killed was another. This man seemed kind, but Delta didn't know nearly enough about him to feel safe. A beached mermaid was often a dead one.
Thinking for a moment, Delta tilted her head to the side. "Well... the boats aren't nearly as pretty as this... but they still are beautiful. It has a different kind of beauty. There's kind of a ghostly feeling to them. There's often holes and sometimes the ship is falling apart. The water really impacts it. Sea creatures take it over and turn it into their new home... and there's also often things to find in there, whether good or bad." There were many things Delta had found within the ships that had been lost at sea. Sometimes she found cool things... but other times there were sailors, forced to succumb to the icy depths of the water. It was a sad reality and she always tried to say a prayer for them, hoping that their souls had safely reached Mort.
Shaking away those thoughts, she scrunched up her nose. "The sea is pretty. It's so open. Unlike you guys, we aren't forced to just walk on one level... we can go so far and everywhere... but also like you guys, we cant do both land and sea... only sea." It was a hard reality, but not a bad one. The sea was vast and beautiful and Delta would always return to it, despite her deep interests in the land above.
"if you're willing to teach me more about boats, I'd love to learn more." After all, she mostly learned through looking at sunk ones.
There was something about Saiden's response that left Delta with far more questions. "I don't really have a job myself. I kind of just... explore. I like to see things and find things. You'd be surprised what people throw into the water." her voice trailed off before she finally spoke the nagging thought that was invading her mind. "What are the other things you do?"
