It was the fact that she moved closer to him that made him look at her again. He was relieved to see the smile on her face. It was a strange world, he decided. Where this was a reality. Here he was, having to look at the worse side of things, but sitting side by side with a mermaid. If only the two of them could just run into the sea forever and never have to face the surface again. Sadly, Dimitri knew he wouldn't be able to talk her into that. And even if somehow he found a way to, he wouldn't be able to go through with it himself. He'd built his life on the land. But at the same time, when she took his hands when both of hers, he decided that Alannah was a major part of that life.<br/><br/>"It didn't attack me." Dimitri chose those as his first words to say. He wasn't quite sure why. It didn't exactly justify that he'd seen a three headed bear, but it was something. It meant that things didn't always have to be as violent as she may have thought. "I've been attacked, in a less populated area, I know I gotta admit that." Dimitri said, and it was true. Dimitri sure wasn't a fighter in most aspects. "It only happened once. My father isn't exactly one of the more active players in the game 'o myths. I can only assume that people that want to hurt him would want to hurt me. But he doesn't make 'lotta enemies." Dimitri said. His father was so neutral. Maybe that was a blessing. Hercules was hated by Hera. And horrible things happened because of that. To be in the corner of it all, ignored by the much bigger players? It was a good thing. It meant he wasn't putting Alannah in much danger.<br/><br/>Though, much was the key word.<br/><br/>"I'll tell ya what then." Dimitri said, returning her smile. He leaned in a lot closer to her. "For now, you stick with me." Dimitri said, unable to hide that he was overjoyed that she'd made that choice. "And we finish this date. And tonight, before you go to sleep, tell me if it's worth it. Deal?" Dimitri requested, leaning in closer for a kiss, if she'd allow one.
