- 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
Despite his initial moment of panic, a cooler head prevailed, kept him from flailing too much, from angering the whatever-it-was turned shark. And to his surprise, and relieved delight, the shark seemed to keep calm as well, swimming slowly towards him, and lingering close by to give him a leg up into his boat. As soon as he was back in the dinghy, he slumped onto his back and let out a deep breath, unneeded, but calming. "Okay." He said out loud, not sure if he was talking to himself, or the shark. "Okay," he repeated after a moment, sitting up, "nice shark. That's... that's cool, it's choice, it's..."
Nate leans over into the water, finally talking directly to the slow moving shark. "You're not always a shark. You spoke, right? Can't speak as a shark though." Really, he's just talking out his thought's, feeling the need to fill some void with his own voice, just to keep it from being quiet. "Can you stop being a shark? No, I... you would've, if you could've, right? Right." A hand came up to run through his hair, pushing wet strands back out of his face with a well practised motion.
"Do you think you could help me, until you're not a shark anymore? Or, until sunrise?" He holds out the fishing net, feeling completely crazy for talking to a shark, but stranger things had happened in his life. He just had to roll with the punches. "You could scare things into my net. I'm trying to get a big haul."
