All the pain and trouble of the present washed away, as better times return to ease the suffering. Memories of a time before, of a life before...
<span class="mu-s">"...why? Are you worried about your mother?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"The goddess? Forget... f-forget the goddess! I don't care about her!"</span>
The sound and sight of the tide across the pristine white beach, the crystal clear blue water so majestic that you never thought you'd leave it. Especially not with the noonday sun to beat down on you, but under the shaded shelter of the palm trees, and cooled by that tropical ocean breeze... it is quite lovely. Sitting up against a palm trunk, you struggle to open a coconut, trying even to bite it in frustration. With a laugh he takes it from you, making it seem so easy as he returns it opened, along with a kiss that replaces your worries inside with that fluttery sensation. A strange thing, that you never really felt before until your spending time here with him.
<span class="mu-b">"-eeesh! It's not thaaaat~"</span> you clutch at your face and try to shake free of the giddiness, <span class="mu-b">"It's just... you know how people are. They'll be afraid of me, they'll hate me."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"They'll love you, as I do. They just need time, but we'll be together through it. We'll help them understand... you're one of us, Tana."</span>
Same as with the coconut, it's a difficult thing for you but he makes everything seem so easy... or rather, everything seems so easy when you're with him. As he pulls you over into his arms for you to lay against him, it seems like he could make the impossible come true. That together, you could join among humans without fear from either side, and find a life with them. That you could even live on land in the first place, never having done so before.
No worry about crushing him with your body either, at this age you're only about the size of a human, so you're compatible enough to comfortably lay together... as well as what else you've gotten up to in your nights spent together. For a few months now, ever since you found him. A young wayward chief, traveling the seas on his double-canoe catamaran, on his own epic voyage to save his people from disaster. His journey already worthy of folklore by the time you found him, it would have been cut short by a mighty storm had you not saved him from drowning. Since then you've been together, helping him to continue along his journey and adding to the eventual legend together. Bearing him from one island to the next with his lack of a boat, showing him the majesty of the sea and the wonders of the deep, him showing you what land is like and has to offer... and gradually finding something between the two of you, shared by your hearts.
