Call Of The Waves - Blade, Dan Heng

6. Predator or Prey?

When Richard got back to the tent, he opened up his eyes in panic as he noticed the merman wasn't on the chair where he was supposed to stay.

"Fuck!" he exclaimed in panic as he was holding the old tales of that damn Pirate Captain. Apparently his tales weren't just tales and maybe he would have helped Blade's crew to discover more ways to use the fact they had the merman... in hostage? Honestly, the way Dan Heng was laughing excited didn't make the second captain think that he understood he was theorically in danger. I mean, hello? He was with pirates, he had to beg for his life.

But truly, between the merman and the pirate crew, who had to really beg for life?

"Damn, where the hell did he..." he flinched as he heard a little humming and Famir laughing evilly

"I cought! Wo! So many! You're amazing, Dan Heng!"

Richard's lips were twitching out of frustration. He got out of the tent and noticed the merman sat on a chair near the side of the coast where Famir was fishing. He had cought so much thanks to Dan Heng's singing.

"Hungry!" Dan Heng said and Famir came closer to Dan Heng with the bucket full of fish.

"I will cook some! I think the crew will be happy! Wait, do you actually eat th..." Famir opened up his eyes as Dan Heng cought a fish inside the well with a fast movement to then almost bite it raw "Hey! No!" the young pirate got the fish back to his hands under Dan Heng's confused stare "You... Don't eat it raw... Ugh, do you..."

Dan Heng narrowed his stare "My part! Mine, hungry..." he muttered annoyed to then smile at Richard who came closer, showing off a mad stare "Tell him!"

Richard looked at Famir and then Dan Heng "Go cook for the crew, Famir" he then turned towards Dan Heng "What do you think you're doing? Do you think you're on holiday and you can do whatever you want? I did order you to stay in the tent. I should use my knife and ruin that pretty face of yours" he grit his teeth and the merman looked at Famir, who didn't want to leave Dan Heng's side, but he also had to follow Richard's orders.

"He was crawling on the sand, so I just helped him sit... I didn't know" Famir tried to explain and Richard laid the hand on his forehead once he noticed Dan Heng's hair full of sand

"Damn it." Richard grabbed Dan Heng's wrist and the merman opened up his eyes feeling pulled, but his legs did tremble and he ended up falling on the captain's chest with the head hurting it.

Famir opened up his eyes as Richard for a moment didn't move an inch like he was literally elaborating what did happen.

Dan Heng smiled happily once he did raise a little his head to meet Richard's green eyes still locked on him "Human chair!" he exclaimed as the hands held his arms, testing his muscles "Support well!" he laughed and Famir couldn't help but laugh as well

Richard grit his teeth "I am not a chair." he felt awful but he pushed him and Dan Heng fell on the ground "You really need to work harder and get used to your legs." he said as he crouched down and the merman crossed his arms to then look at the sea "No, don't even think about it, you're under my watch." he did warn him and Dan Heng moved a little his legs. It looked like he was lost in his thoughts.

"Hurt..." Dan Heng said, looking at the two with those big blue eyes that were melting Famir's heart once again "And hungry" he continued and Richard in that moment... kinda felt like he was doing puppy eyes to Famir to allure him to give him a fish "Veery hungry" he looked like he was shining of sparkles and flowers to the young crewmate

Seriously, was he child?! No way Famir or any pirate would fall for that stupid trick

"Captain, we should really give him so food" one of the pirates fishing with Famir spoke on his back and Famir nodded under the second captain's irritated stare
