"Sarit"
I looked around the house I found myself in. There were white beachy walls with blue accents and woven materials hanging around the home. It looked like a strange version of the coral enclaves I was familiar with.
I am not sure quite how I ended up here; I was headed to find my friend when I not only did not know the directions but also the man I was with kept following, telling me to cover up.
I had little intention of listening to the man that stirred me so, but what I knew was that a car pulled up and a man threatened me with law enforcement. Now I may be a siren, but even my kind is familiar with rules. It wouldn't do me good to be caught out here.
The man was rustling around in some storage thing for clothes that humans wore more. He turned around, handing me a towel and some clothes.
"Here, this should do for now...I don't have clothes as small as your frame..." he scanned me...looking down before looking in my eyes and gulping.
He turned away, saying, "Please go into that room there and put these on. "Why should I listen to you?" I asked, smirking. It pleased me so that he had a reaction to me. Good, that means my siren nature hasn't completely failed me.
"Because...God, I don't know! I don't understand a thing that just happened, but I can't focus while you're like that. People like me wear clothes. This is my home, so please just...do it, okay?" He said.
I looked at him, glancing at him with my narrow eyes, before trailing into the room. Briefly touching across his collarbones with my fingertips.
I sat down at the kitchen table, he had helped me appropriately adjust the loose clothes I had now donned."Here, eat something," said the man. Handing me some Pla Pao. He looked at me with those pretty pearl eyes."Why not eat me?" I asked with a smirk.
He choked on his food, sputtering for a minute. I felt my eyes twinkle a bit mischievously. Getting under his skin was all too easy.... That said...he wasn't so...bad himself.
I watched him carefully, as if scanning him for danger. Humans are dangerous creatures even if under your spell. I wouldn't know if he planned to lock me up somewhere or chuck me in a tank or do some sort of scientific study on me. Even if he had none of those plans, he may end up using me or doing something dangerous.
I imagined not many people would take to kindly from being drowned. I wouldn't, why was he acting calm was unsettling to me. Something more seemed to be happening but whatever it was, I didn't like it.
However I saw no danger at all. He looked like a harmless ocean loving doof. Someone who takes every day as they come. I wouldn't let my guard down though.
He made no comment in response to my flirtatious statement about eating me, instead asking, "So, what exactly are you...?" He looked at me with those big eyes.
"Exactly what you presume me to be, big boy," I said with a little impishness.
"My name is not 'Big boy'; my name is Chada. It would do you well to address me as that whenever you're not wolfing down my food." He said while he tried to sound all serious, but in the corners I could see him about to crack a smile.
"Well, Chada..." I said, pausing my food to sip some tea. "I won't try to kill you again if you tell me how to get to Wasan Group. I'm looking for my friend."
He lay back in his chair, locking eyes with me. I felt heat begin to rise to my cheeks, but I ignored it. "Hmmm...and how does a...siren? Like you presume to kill me here on land?" he said. Now he was slyly looking at me like a fox.
"I could sing you into the water. You fell in once," I said.
"Mmm, correct, I did fall for you. Your spell, on the other hand? Now that didn't seem so effective, did it?" He fully smirked. "Besides... I'm rather liking my catch here...."
I glared at him. "I AM NOT A FISH."He merely laughed. "Oh? Excuse my lack of avian species terminology. Would you prefer half bird"?
I grumbled. I couldn't resist finishing the meal, though. To which, once I was stuffed. He agreed to drive me over there. Although I was not sure what his motive or kindness was for. If a human tried to end me once, they would be in smithereens at the bottom of a whirlpool.
