âI had never seen an octopus before!! What is your name?â The little merboy asked, fins wiggling excitedly.
Arthur stayed quiet for a moment before getting off his trance and finally answering âU-Uhm... Arthur...â
âCool! Hey, Arthur- what are you doing here? You all alone and hungry and very, very cold?â the boy continue to ask as he keeps moving, seeming so full of energy... at least thatâs what Arthur could get from him.
âJust as when he was a baby...â he thought, a light smile appearing on his face âI was on a little adventure, sort of sayâ he now says out loud âOn the look out for someone-â
âSomeone?? Oh, cool! Thatâs very brave!â Peter beam âbut you canât be out there now- itâs very, very cold! You have to stay!â He seemed to sparkle at the idea.
This time Tino actually talking in too âOh! That is a wonderful idea! You can remain here for the time being as the temperatures are on itâs lowest... then we can help provide you stuff for the rest of your journeyâ he offered with a as a enthusiastic attitude as Peterâs.
âO-Oh, I donât want to bother-â
âNonsense! You have to look after yourself young man!â Tino keeps saying, swimming over and patting his head âWouldnât want something to happen to you if we can prevent it... and you seem like a very nice young manâ he smiles
Arthur looked at him, then at the face of Peter with a big smile, and even the scary Bewarld seem to have a calm expression at the idea. And, even if he wanted to move on... he had found what he had been looking for, would be foolish to leave. Though other thing was thinking on how to explain it to the three of them more in detail.
In the end he sighed âalright...â and with that answer both Tino and Peter lighting up âOh, perfect! I will prepare a place for you to sleep in, okay? Peter and Bewarld- we will need more food, so go! Arthur should rest some moreâ He ordered, them nodding and swimming out the cave.
âSo... that happenedâ he sigh internally
âNow to think how to tell them...â
((Peter, Tino, and Bewarld open to asks now!))
