I12DT - Pets are so cute... ((open))

[Zeryn]

Zeryn had been missed.

He was currently sitting down at the shore, not very far into the water, his lovable pets swimming happily around his waist. "Yes, I've missed you too," he said with a smile, lifting one of the tiny sharks out of the water (and lifting the water with it) to praise it as it brought him a tiny fish it had caught.

Chloe landed on the beach, then shifted into human form.

[Zeryn]

Zeryn spied Chloe and held the shark out in an obvious 'want to pet it?' manner.

[Chloe Grant]

"What is it?" Chloe asked as she walked over.

[Zeryn]

"Man's best friend," he said with a smile, holding the little shark (and it's small covering of water) out for her to see/touch.

[Chloe Grant]

"Merman's best friend, maybe." Chloe said, reaching out to pet the tiny shark with a careful fingertip.

[Zeryn]

"Well, yes," Zeryn said, in a 'that should be obvious' tone, before showing her how to pet it to make it, y'know, not bitey.

[Chloe Grant]

"He is kind of cute." Chloe said "Does he have a name?"

[Zeryn]

Zeryn shook his head. "They cannot distinguish speech, particularly underwater. So each of them have a specific rhythm that they respond to. Here, watch." Zeryn lowered his hand into the water, tapping his fist against his knee in a specific pattern. As he did, one of the sharks broke off from the others and started swimming around him.

[Chloe Grant]

"I didn't know you could train them." Chloe said "Thats pretty neat."
