Kaiden was just swallowing the last bite of their meal when the kid spoke again. The mershark paused and scanned the kid for a moment. "I suppose that's true. I'm Kaiden. What's your name, brat?" The cub finished its meal as well and to the mer's baffled horror happily walked over to them.
Kaiden's face went slack with confusion, their eyes widening as teh small cub stepped into the shallow part of the water and rubbed their head against the mer's shoulder. "Uhhmm..you're welcome?" The cub made a small chirping noise and then happily made its way out of the water before racing into the jungle. Kaiden watched the cub go, still trying to process the last few seconds. Did they just make a friend?
