Arthur just managed to hum as the world slowly came back into view.
“... h-huh...? Where...?” he tried to look around through his still blurry vision... it seemed to be some sort of cave. Though he didn’t remember getting inside of one before passing out... he just remembered...
The sudden voice brought him out of his thoughts. He hadn’t noticed the other mer in the room as he turned towards the voice.
A gentle and worried looking porpoise mer then came closer to his view as he seemed to be checking on him a bit.
“You gave us quite the scare! How are you feeling?”
Arthur stared at the other, blinking a couple times before he could finally find his voice “u-uhm... okay, I guess...?” his voice was still weak and a little raspy.
That still seemed to calm him a bit as he sighed in relief “that is better than nothing... oh!” he suddenly exclaim, clapping his hands “how rude of me- my name is Tino! Our son found you nearly starved to death-” the called Tino started to explain “luckily my mate had still some potions to help meanwhile you were unconscious...”
Arthur tried to process everything as he heard about it “I-I see...” he sigh “I am very sorry for have caused you trouble...”
“Oh dear, is fine!” Tino quickly said “take as much time you need to recover... my mate and son should be coming back soon, so make sure to rest a bit more so you can eat something, yes?” he smiled kindly again before turning to leave.
Arthur simply nodded. Left there to rest and keep thinking...
