Dallon couldn't believe it, he found a siren! And he's surprised that it hasn't tried to kill him yet.

That off put him. How come this siren hasn't attempted to lead him into a crash? He's not very willing to ask since things are going so well.

The siren returned him his journal and looked like he was about to speak. But he seemed to go against it and be quiet.

"Hey," Dallon started out, attempting to not scare him away. "Do you have a name? Or the sirens don't bear one? Maybe you speak a different language?"

Dallon saw the siren think about what he would say or even say anything at all since he'd be almost silent this whole event.

"brendon. my name is brendon." He spoke, looking shy.

"Ah-ha! So, you guys can speak English! That's amazing!" Dallon excitedly remarked and wrote in his journal.

"i don't think i speak very...good?"

Dallon giggled softly at his wording before speaking about it. "For starters, you should have ended it with 'well' but, honestly, it's surprising that hidden creatures know a language we speak. I thought sirens spoke some odd language to one another."

"we speak in another language but...it's quite hard." Brendon explained, the pink on his cheeks showing very prominently.

"You should teach me someday! Then I could communicate with you!" Dallon smiled.

"that's a nice idea!" To Dallon, talking to Brendon was comforting in a way. It was like having a friend to show the world to. He doesn't know why but anytime he saw Brendon smile, his heart swelled a little with happiness. Dallon knew he hasn't felt that feeling of happiness in a while.

"do...you have to leave...soon?" Dallon's smile seemed to grow bigger when Brendon took time to form his words.

"Well, let me check," Dallon looked down at his wrist. "Not anytime soon."

"can...you teach me...how to play that?" Brendon pointed at the ukulele.

"Only if you teach me how to play the lyre!" The sailor saw that surprised face on the siren.

"how...do you know about the lyre?"

"Well, I've done a little research before meeting you, Brendon." He chuckled. "But here, let me teach you." Dallon grabbed his instrument.

🔜❗️

in all of his years of living in the deep blues, brendon has never met anyone who could make him so happy in such a short timeframe.

he really hoped that dallon had the same feelings. or it might just up with a ghost coming back to haunt him.

and brendon knew he wasn't ready to face that demon of his.
