I don't trust nobody
The head suddenly appearing above the surface of the water wasn't something she was expecting. Maeve blinks, eyes going wide as she straightens up suddenly, her breath leaving her in a rush. She hasn't actually seen a merperson in the flesh before. Despite all of her time living in Torchline it wasn't something she had experienced herself. Maeve licks her lips, finding her voice after a moment, "Hello?" She tries, brows knitting together as she's met with a splash as the figure dives back under the waves. It isn't until she resurfaces once more that Maeve realizes that it's a girl. A young woman, rather.
Maeve offers a hesitant smile, shifting the lantern she brought with her a little closer to the edge of the rock to bath the mermaid in light."The light isn't a bother is it? I- I haven't actually met a mermaid before. Not really sure.." She trails off, shaking her head as she draws her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on her knees."Sorry. You think I'd be better at talking with people. Seems that when I'm not working I struggle with words."
