Ankyra Sound A siren's song

One more round, @Ondine?

He watches as she seem to hesitate, before calling him a good friend. Giving her a fond smile, he turns his head to look out towards the coast. Just in the corner of his view, he could see the ocean lapping, and when he breathed in he could scent the salty tang of the sea too. He viewed Ondine as a friend he held dear in his heart, and in some way, she almost reminded him of his sister. "It would mean a lot to me if one day we could trust each other that much." He says at last, tone mildly wistful. He had a good friend in his sister, and he hoped that one day he and Ondine would grow as close.

"I've endured it for so long, a little longer can't hurt." He jokes back, relieved the conversation had turned from the previous topic. He could tell from her softer posture she was joking, and smiles quietly to himself. He had a good friend in her, and for that he was glad.
