But after all the trouble you put him through, you could leave him with something to ease the burden, especially when it costs you so little.
<span class="mu-b">"...Emil!"</span> you finally resolve to call out to the human, as he nervously turns back, expecting you to withdraw the offer of his freedom. <span class="mu-b">"I know you despise me. I know i took you from your comrades. But do believe me when I say that I went after your ship trying to get someone to help me. I do... apol... appo... apolog... apologize... for the harsh treatment. May our next meeting be on better terms."</span>
Well you wouldn't expect him to push the hatred out of his heart to make space for your words, but coughing up a handful of treasure and chucking it his way in the surf, should do the trick! Costs you so little, no it doesn't cost you at all, valuables meaning little to you when you can just take what you want. Emil alights with appreciative glee, diving to his knees in the shallow water to scoop up the gold.
By the time he's gathered it all more or less though, before he can give thanks, you are gone. Came and went in his life just like the tide.
