Getting scolded, even if it wasn't harshly so, had Tayden blush a little sheepishly. He opted to not respond to the stronger comment or swimming away, since that didn't really matter if there were enough humans there who were interested in the merman for a profit. Numbers could definitely compensate for what humans lacked in physical prowess, which was the main reason they were the dominant force on land. Intelligence was not the driving force for that, especially since most people were definitely not on the smart end of the spectrum...<br/><br/>Again, he was told to not touch the animals, to which the human gave a huff. Honestly, it wasn't like he went chancing them down to take them out of the water or anything. He would return the creatures to the water, which he still didn't see any harm in doing. And the bit about picking up the trash was stupid to hear aloud. He tried to do that as well, though he saw a lot more trash than he could collect, since he didn't swim out to go gather the floating plastic or anything... Not because he didn't want to help, but because it wasn't worth killing himself over getting rid of just a little more trash.<br/><br/>He was about to say something about how he wasn't about to change what he already did, but closed his mouth and blinked a few times when he was asked for his name. That seemed odd with how the other male didn't seem to like him. "Orien?" he repeated the strange name that was offered as he ruffled the light blond strands of his hair. "That's a neat name. I'm Tayden. So, um... Are you done scolding me?" the human had to ask, since he didn't really want to get to know this fantasy creature if he was only going to get into more trouble.
