[Oh. Oh no. Don't laugh Jade. Don't laugh. She'll get so mad. B-but... "doing the merpeople an injustice", oh honey.
He... he was almost starting to feel bad about his deception. Almost. Survival trumped morality, or course, and the mild tinge of guilt did nothing to ease the urge to laugh. He no doubt makes some peculiar expressions until he gathers himself enough to properly speak.]
Ah, I am rather cynical, aren't I? I never thought of it as such, I merely thought myself to be pragmatic.
[He squeaks out a chuckle at his first statement, hoping it'll just pass off as him finding amusement in being called cynical and not... literally everything else. His tone is probably a bit too chipper as he continues too.]
A friendship could hardly be called a friendship if only one individual benefited from it. You have come here to tend to me and asked for nothing as well, yet in truth we have both benefited from this friendship. It's simply been something seamless, and without a need to be discussed due to a mutual trust.
As I said before, it's the law of the sea, to give as much as one takes, to return what has been borrowed. Azul understands this, as do my brother and I.
