Sorry for the longer time spent, had something to do this evening, but we can get in some more now.

How you learned language in the past, when someone drowns and chokes out their dying words, they become known to the sea and known to you... although without some creativity, it will take some time and quite a few drownings/victims to learn enough language to communicate.Learning a new language? Bah! What need is there if you aren't sticking around these parts? Ah well... you didn't plan on sticking around these parts. You'd only traveled across the world's oceans on behalf of your goddess, as her champion to find and destroy that insult to the sea, Atlantis. You would have laid waste to that wretched civilization and then returned to your goddess's graces to do her bidding, had you not been trapped.
Now that you can't hear her, you're left to your own choices until you can figure something better. So for that time being... well without your goddess the only claim you have is to Atlantis itself, ironically. The old maritime empire, both the city below water now but also the land holdings it had. Hence why you traveled to the nearest coast, which you feel you have claim over as well...
So learning a new language? Well damned be, but you may have to. And you think you have a good idea how.

<span class="mu-b">"Sorry little man, but it was you or him and you've got more meat."</span>
Having made up your mind, you grabbed both captives again and dragged them back into the surf. One to hold and keep from fleeing, the other to hold under the water. Of course he struggles for dear life, but he has no hope in any hell of escaping you as he chokes down water and his life leaves him. From that, you learn a few strangled words of "please" and "no"!
<span class="mu-b">"Now your turn, skinny!"</span>
As for his friend, if it wasn't bad enough to witness the drowning of his comrade, you have something perhaps even worse in store. Biting the inside of your mouth, you pull him close and forcibly spew a mix of blood and saliva into his own mouth, a grotesque mockery of kiss as best you can manage despite the significant size difference.
