[It's silence. A little bit of water splishing. Then singing. It sounds something like this.]

Hatred enfolds us...inculcates the minds with its heresy.

Laymen enfold us...clemency arrives to set you free.

[ooc: Action welcome! He's prowling the waters around the Dawn Treader. Beware. Also sdlkjfglsad sorry for disappearing I locked myself out of his account during the great LJ Login debacle ~__~;]

action!

[BEEN THERE DONE THAT. Sort of. With gills and fins, anyway.

He frowns slightly at the attitude, but not without an edge of amusement, maybe.]


They looked more like fish than humans, with yellow eyes and gray skin. They lived in a village, too, at the bottom of the lake, and I reckon most of them speak Mermish rather than English.

[Well, some did in the lake, but that probably had to do with the Task, right? He never did think to look into that - he'd just been happy to have the Task over with.]

[Caspian was a seal once. Twice. But that's probably not the same experience at all. When Harry tells him about the yellow eyes and gray skin he silently balks.]

They sound like hags.

[Not colloquially speaking, he's actually met a hag or two. Very nasty beasts. Witch-raising beasts.]

[Well, becoming a seal is certainly noteworthy, just the same.]

You wouldn't want any of them hearing you say that. [So dryly.] What are ocean-merpeople like?

Why? What are they capable of?

[Caspian's genuinely curious. He'll have to tell Lucy and the others in case these gray-skinned yellow-eyed gilled and what not people try to invade their waters. Caspian's good at defensive measures, he beats up giants on holidays.]

And ocean merfolk are like me, at least those I've met. We don't come in shades of gray.

[One day they might have a conversation about this, "Remember that one time you thought you were born a fish?" "Remember that one time you forgot you were born a prat?" At least Harry is no Eustace Scrubb.]

action!

They've got a load of great spears, for one thing.

[Do not insult a person that can and will run you through, and all.]

How many others are there, around here?

[Harry is not unaware of the curse going on and can't help but wonder if this is an actual merman or someone who'll feel really stupid in a few days.]

I happen to be very skilled with a lance.

[The best of all the jousters. Now Caspian crests back as if he might be summoning the rest of his kinfolk...but none arrive because it's not his place to just bring forth a harem for Harry. PS. He will feel stupid and sick of seafood.]

A good handful. If you listen you'll hear them.

action!

[Wow that was an anticlimactic crest, there. But he raises his eyebrows slightly and obliges a listen....]
