The mer’s hand flopped dismissively and giggled lightly. “No, you silly gull! That was a joke! I can’t do anything like that, I don’t have powers like that. But...well, maybe just steer clear if you hear me, uh.....s-singing.” He stumbled, pink blooming across his cheek and his body language shifting from confident to shy and secretive. It’s not that he was being humble, but more like trying to protect him from any possible and unintentional effects that might happen to him, should he hear him sing (or even hum). But the joke was lighthearted and cheerful. There was no malice behind it, though it would be funny if someone like him had the power to possess someone. Small, meek, friendly Marius has too many good morals to cause any kind of harmful mischief with someone else’s life. Judging by his reaction, Eugene must not have realized it was a joke, but he had no problem in debunking that claim.
He wasn’t the type of mer to lure humans to their watery graves with his voice, but he couldn’t deny that his own voice had some kind of effect on them. Truth be told, he never pushed the limit to see how far he could go because of how cautious he was; he didn’t want to be responsible for someone else’s demise, however serious it may be.
