      ( @a-child-turned-monstrosity​ )   “Lief!” The Marai called as she raised her arms to catch the child as he fell towards her, hugging him close to her body and placing many gentle kisses ontop of his head. “Oh, dear! How have you been?! Is Mr. Bunny being a good friend?” 

“Oh, there is always something watching and listening on the depths. Always. Never doubt that.” 

"Amazing theory. I shall look further into it."

"Answer me."

 Nami knew the power of the corruption, she had seen it up close and personal, and yet, everytime she looked at him, she could not help but se beyond it and into the atlantean that remind her so much of another friend. The Tidecaller was unable to view him as a creature of corruption and destruction only and even as her heart screamed at her that this was dangerous, that every hint of the corruption of the depths should be exterminated by her hands or others, she could never bring herself to do it, or let someone else finish the task. Every few times that the decision was within her grasps, she chose life, and she chose to save the atlantean even if the cost was also saving the parasite.   With a very deep sigh, the marai laid Void on the sand of the beach, his head resting over her tail as it cradled him protectively and the healing waters did their work. It wasn’t always that she would be close to save him, but whenever that happened, she did. A hand settled over the creature’s shoulder and Nami shook him gently.  — “You know I won’t always be around to help. Be more careful in this line of work, yes?”
