The water so black that the darkness hummed
The baldfaced stare makes Maru display an uncharacteristic twitch of a smirk, one blue-ringed tentacle rising from the water to wave in a mocking sort of way, amused by this stranger's intensity. Though he already appears somewhat lost for words. Maru is far from an impatient man however, and waits for the stream of words that eventually trickles forth. The wording could certainly use some work, but he is far too amused to care by this point.
"Quite a broad question. Are you sure you want to offer such a tantalizing prize?" With an easy pulse of his tentacles he comes closer, as close as he can really get in the shallows without impacting his escape time if it needs to be done. "You will have to be specific, stranger. Do you care to know our physiology, our social habits, our political stances? We would be here for days to tell you such a vast history." And that is if he can sway Maru into revealing such information anyway. What, after all, does he intend to offer?
