Carsel felt bad for the selkie woman. He could see she had been sobbing. Tears had river stained her cheeks and made them shimmer and shin more. He felt bad for her. Right now he couldn't give her back to the sea. For some reason he knew he would need to. To keep her from dying. Right now that wouldn't be possible even though he wished he could. He wondered what he could do for her. He saw how she shrank back. Saw her eyes large. He bit his lower lip. He didn't wish her to be afraid of him too. His mother had been in love with the sea just as much if not more than him. He loved it. He was not like his father. He would rather voyage the sea to be on the surface he loved the most then voyage it to pillage and plunder. He looked at her. "Mala..." He said. Sounding it out. It was a beautiful name. "That is a beautiful name." He said softly.<br/><br/>He sighed a bit. "I gave my birthday desire to be responsible for you because I wish to protect you from my father and his men. Now...at least you are safe because you are mine. I hate the sound of those words but at the moment...it is necessary so you won't be further violated." He was trying to explain but he never had to explain things before. He looked at the ceiling and thought. Then back to her. "What do you eat Mala? I know you will probably need lots of water. Until I can figure out how to save you without you getting hurt I wish to take good care of you. So you will not be ill...when I can figure out how to give you back to the sea." He spoke too softly for eavesdroppers to hear. He looked at her. "I don't voyage the seas for the reasons these men and my father do. I journey over it because of the love I hold for it. The pull it holds on my heart and soul is strong. I imagine it is even greater a pull on you and your very being...isn't it?"<br/><br/>He closed his eyes then thought about what he could do for her now. He reached into the pouch bag on his side. He then pulled out the beautiful box (see image) his mother been given with her greatest treasure. It was made with shells to protect her greatest treasure...a beautiful conch shell (see image) she said was given to her by a man from within the sea. A merman or a neraid (sea nymph) but he couldn't remember which. He slowly stretched forwards after pulling it out. "Inside here is my mothers greatest treasure. It will let you hear and see the sea like you were in it. My mother used to tell me the shell inside was given to her by a man from within the sea. I don't remember whether it was mermain or neraid but...I want you to hold this and use it until we can get you home."<br/><br/>He sat back up and hoped that would help her relax. He looked at her. "I'm not a bad guy Mala. I know you aren't going to believe me at this moment but I will prove to you...that you can trust me. That you can be my friend." He smiled at her and pulled out his ocarina and looked at her. "I am going to play my ocarina for you. Next time I'll sing for you." He said softly. He began to play upon his ocarina.<br/><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz260/TimeKeys/My%20album/album/49fe1ed9-46ec-4ee4-9433-862165873248_zpsd0aae8cf.jpg">[ img ]</a>(box)<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz260/TimeKeys/My%20album/album/conch20and20pearls_zps1a656b8b.jpg">[ img ]</a>(conch shell)<br/><object height="360" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2vKlDkNjY60"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><embed height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/2vKlDkNjY60" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="640" wmode="transparent"/></object>
