Neo was just crying. He wasn't one of those males afraid to do so. He only knew that he couldn't reveal all of what he was. He knew that sadly they knew he was a merman. He couldn't reveal he was Prince of the sea. He couldn't reveal he was a male siren. If he revealed that they would put a gag in his mouth and he would slowly die. He was playing over all of the awful and horrible things that could possibly occur due to be held captive. He slowly registered that he was being hugged. He blinked away his sea salt tears. He more than longed for the sea...it was a part of who he was. He looks at her sadly. "No...you only know what most know I am." he says sadly. His mother would know within a day or so that her son was a captive. Then the dangerous sea would become treacherous. He shakes his head. "Can you keep a secret?" he asks softly.
