Suddenly, the shark swam, far outwards. He didn't talk to a whole lot of sea life, but he hadn't expected the shark to just dart away. He'd imagined their personalities to be a little more shark-like. Confident, antsy, strong, those were the words that came to mind. Apparently he was wrong, he noted. The shark was gone. Maybe it intercepted some of the sounds through him, though he found it doubtful. Not that it was likely that the shark just wanted to be near the shore. There were no real deep waters, no fish to hunt, just sand really. It had to be something to bring the shark so close. Though, he'd almost lost interest. A little part of him suspected that the ocean had sent the shark, though as for its purpose? He dreaded to guess. Most people wouldn't send a shark to give a message, so it was likely that if this shark was supposed to be here, it was for a violent reason.<br/><br/>Though, most sharks that are willing to kill something don't usually run at the sound of words. Maybe it was just concerned that it could understand a human? Dimitri was certainly concerned the first time an animal talked to him.<br/><br/>Just as he was about to leave it at that and walk away, a revelation came to be. There was never any shark at all, it was a person. It was a<span style="font-style: italic">mermaid</span>even. He'd had his doubts of their existence, sure he'd seen nymphs, but they had legs. He'd even seen sirens before, it almost concerned him that this was a siren. But a siren wouldn't have swam out and been cautious. If this was a siren, he'd be dead. No, this was in fact, a mermaid. At least, he was fairly certain it was a woman in the distance. Between the darkness and distance, he wasn't one hundred percent. He put his hand up slightly as to show that he meant no harm. "I, uh... don't mean any harm...  please come closer so I don't have to yell. Someone's going to show up if there's too much noise..." Dimitri said, loud enough for her to hear. He'd lacked confidence massively in the statement, though, it was a mermaid.
