“I mean, y’ain’t physically blockin’ my way. An’ you ain’t tryin’ t’ get me t’ buy something, so y’can’t be that bad.” he was really, truly sick of the Bilgewater peddlers trying to get him to buy the next ‘miracle age-reducing serum’ or ‘wrinkle removing cream’. Pissed him off, and he had come quite close to blowing their market apart. And yet, he hadn’t.
This was a welcome change, someone who just wanted to talk.
“So, if y’ ain’t here t’ kill me ‘er accost me, I got nothin’ better t’ do today. All I remember about ya’ is that y’ want… gold, right? Some creepy sea-god. I don’ believe a word of it, but I’ll humor yer’ ramblin’s. What’s a sea creature doin’ on a Bilgewater pier?”
There were times when Lorelai didn’t quite understand the things that people in the area said and this was... admittedly one of those times. None of the people selling things ever approached her to make that attempt, so the source of that irritant was one she was unfamiliar with. Instead of saying so, the siren merely nodded her head because she at least understood that he’d said she was not bothering him very much. Even if he’d compared it to something she did not fully understand.
Fingers drumming against one of her bare arms, the woman chuckled a little as he brought up not wanting to kill or pick a fight with him. “I do not look to start fights with people without reason. That much, you can be assured of. As for the gold, this only comes into play if you aim to cross the sea like so many others.”
At his final question, her head tilted for a moment before she tilted her head down as if to observe the pier she sat on. “This section is over the water, which is within reason for a creature of the sea, is it not? Surely, you have noticed that I can broach the air now and then by this point in time. Beyond this, I enjoy observing the things I usually cannot.” As she spoke that last part, she gestured around to indicate the happenings on the actual land. “It interests me.”
