Gavin looked at her and listened to her talk. “Hey, you should be proud of your work. I mean granted that I haven’t seen much because of the storm,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean it not worth your pride.” He nodded about this being his home. He could understand why it was no one knew about it. He wasn’t going to let anyone know about it for her safety.
Gavin worked on cooking the food next to her. He listened to her talk about her legs. “So you could hide out on land if needed?” he asked, curiously. He had never known that they could grow legs until she had that time he rescued her, and he hadn’t had the time to ask about it then. He wanted to get to know her because she seemed to call to him in ways no one else had ever done.

Lorelei smiled. “It’s nice to meet you too,” she said, looking over at him. “Oh, yeah? No charge?” she asked, curious about him. Mermaids have almost always worked off the if someone saves you, you return the favor no matter if it’s another mermaid or if it’s a mermaid. The no charge thing was just between mated pairs from what she had heard. “Yeah, it would easily give me away if I can’t find a place to hide fast,” she replied. She nodded and was thankful that he seemed to understand.
Lorelei smiled. She went over and got a coconut bowl she had made earlier. “I can make you some. I can survive in both salt and fresh water. It’s what makes me unique, but something else that I can do is turn salt into fresh,” she said. She got some water in the bowl and just focused on the water. Once she saw the salt come to the top in a sheet, she pulled it out and handed it over to him. She smiled listening to him. She was glad that someone had taken him in. When he got to the part about trying to protect her, she couldn’t hold her excitement in. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him. She knew that she probably shouldn’t have, but he was trying to protect her and her kind from being hunted down by even more people.
