He watched her expression to see if she was going to look at him like he was a way for money. Seeing no signs of such things he sighs again in relief. Looking at her and relaxed just a bit more. He wasn't sure how to explain how he got to be so far away from the sea. It wasn't by choice. That much was for sure. He was forcefully locked in cells upon a ship. Forcefully taken off the ship. Forcefully carried over the captians shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Tossed into a thing on wheels. He had no clue what it was. He just knew that the round things were wheels as they were similar to the things that land people used for guiding in their floating houses. He looks at her. Hesitant at first then relaxed a bit more. He believed her. Her actions and her words showed as much. He about cried out in fear when her father appeared in the doorway. He tried to move limbs that refused to work with him (his legs). As it was his arms flailed against the empty air like he was trying to swim out of the bed. Reflexes yet the fear in his eyes was evident. "Is he a fisherman?" he asks in a terror filled voice. He tried to hide himself behind the girl. Kinda sorta managing to do so...mostly it didn't work.
