Immersed in the feeling of water around him, Allen nearly forgot everything besides enjoying himself, for a while.<br/><br/>Even as a stormy wind picked up and brew something like a premonition of a storm, the merman did not pay attention.<br/>However, as a few stony rocks landed in the water, he emerged with a splash from the waters - just in time to see a female body splashing into the water next to him. A whiff of copper hit his sensitive nose.<br/>Allen blinked.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">~ Did I just see a suicide? ~</span><br/>With a wave of his tail he dived after her into the - for humans - cold water.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><div style="text-align: center;">***</div></span><br/><br/>With a soft splash, two bodies emerged from the water. In between the rescue, a few more rocks fell into the water, making it a slightly dangerous adventure to not be injured while emerging. Placing the body on the floor, he reluctantly slipped on land and shook his tail a few times, to get off the residue water.<br/>A bit regretfully, he could not wait until his tail dried naturally, so he used the water repellant magic to it, to speed up the process. Also, the female might wake up and cause a panic, if she saw a half formed fish tail. A male one at that. Allen admitted, the process of transmigration was quite the strange sight. Plus, he had to make sure she did not know his identity. As well as delete her memories in case she did see something she should not have.<br/>Just in about half a minute, his legs formed again, only leaving a few scales scattered here and there. Allen could not be bothered with this, as well as being stark naked. Plus, there was the issue of his hair.<br/>Yes, his hair.<br/>The renewal process makes merpeople live multiple lifetimes longer than humans - if being underwater.  But the longer they live outside water, the more will their lifespan resemble a humans cycle of life. No, actually, merpeople life expectancy would be way lower than a humans, since most merpeople living on land die without even reaching half of a humans average lifespan.<br/><br/>In any case, after the refreshing bath in a sacred spot, most cells in Allens body were as good as new, imbued with magic power. This included his hair. Similar to the refreshing ocean blue of his tail, his hair was now more than double of its length before, and the green was even more lucid and lively.<br/><br/>This all took a while to explain, however not more than a few seconds passed, after Allen transformed back into his human form. Picking up the female, he avoided a few fallen rocks, as he entered a small cave at the side, where he had hidden his backpack and clothes.<br/>To his and her luck, he had taken his toilettries with him, as well as a set of his spare clothes. A first aid kit was also a must for every wanderer.<br/><br/>Since he had already provided her with some oxygen under water - another fact about merpeople is obviously that they can filter the oxygen from water and breathe it out, a necessary trait for survival - he was a bit concerned about the bleeding so far.<br/>After confirming, that she was indeed breathing, just not conscious, Allen first ripped apart her torn clothes to wash and apply first aid to her cuts. They had not stopped bleeding yet, due to the contact with water, but were fairly shallow, as far as he could see.<br/>Blood would also wash out any germs naturally, so the only thing he did, is disinfect the skin around the cuts, before applying the large white band aids to seal the wounds.<br/>The problem would not be the blood loss, but her body cooling out due to the cold water and clothes.<br/>For a merman, a females human body was of a similar attractiveness as a fish for a human. Or, maybe a half-fish.  But living so long among humans, Allen understood basic courtesy - and that was the slight headache he felt, about what he was going to do next.<br/>Sighing lightly, he dried the person infront of him with the towel he had with him - though used, it was not the time to be picky - and then lightly slapped her right and left cheeks to see if she would wake up soon.<br/>The light was quite dim in the cave, but his eyes had no problem with this.<br/>~ Wait, normal humans should not be able to see anything in this barely lit up place...~ he pondered.
