Paio wasn't one to leave the sea. Not for lack of trying though! He'd tried a couple of times to go with his colony for their surface trips but it was always just...too scary. He backed out at the last minute every single time and then was sad that he was still such a coward. This was one of those days. He'd gotten as far as the shallows and then they rolled their eyes and left him behind. Again.

Curled up on the sea floor, he miserably waited for them to come back. At least he was miserable until he heard a beautiful sound he'd never heard before. It was soothing enough to allow him to be brave enough to swim up and poke his head up. A little seal head poking out of the surface of the water.

Seeing a human, he ducked back down again and nervously swam in a circle. Until he saw a large bunch of rocks. Swimming there, Paio shed his pelt and then shyly looked around a rock to watch the human with the pretty sounds.

At the words, he ducked back. He'd been caught! At this point he should run away! Only, the words had sounded...nice? Anxious but curious, he slowly poked his head back out again before creeping his way closer until he was able to sit in the sand behind the human.

Wrapping his arms around his legs, he listened to the nice sound. It wasn't anything he'd ever heard before but it was...so nice.

Fruit and bread and juice? Those weren't fish he knew of. Confused, he tried to think if he could figure out what they were but finally carefully scooted himself closer until he finally was within view. Wrapping his arms around his legs again, he looked for the fish but he didn't see any fish?

Were they not fish?

Paio gave a little pout of confusion then looked back to the one making the nice sounds instead.

Looking up as he was spoken to again, he bit his lip then nodded. He could take a break if he wanted to. Maybe then he could figure out what fish he actually had. Since none of these seemed like fish at all. But maybe it was surface fish? If so they were very strangely shaped.

Cautiously, he scooted a little closer to actually be on the blanket now. He looked like he could bolt any moment but he was at least trying to see the food first.

That was food? Paio blinked as he watched the human eat the food and then drink something too. Tilting his head, he wondered what it was because none of that looked like fish at all. Did humans eat things that weren't fish? Did they even eat fish? He was so confused...

At the offer, he cautiously reached out to take the offered thing. It was small and round. Almost like a rock. Only when he put it in his mouth and chewed, it wasn't hard at all. It was soft! And a flavor rushed into his mouth that he didn't recognize.

Eyes wide, he stared at the human before chewing more and swallowing it.

"...grape."

It was his first time saying something but he did repeat the word back. He could understand him, after all. Mostly he was just...very shy. Paio gave another little scoot forward and leaned over to look at the other things on display before looking at the human again.

"It's not...fish?"

"Bread..."

Taking the piece, he popped it into his mouth. At first he frowned at how dry it was. But slowly his face turned to curiosity. It didn't taste bad. It had good flavor to it. But he wasn't sure if he liked the texture of it at all. It wasn't pleasant and he wasn't sure how someone could eat it really. Wouldn't that be hard to eat?

Did he just eat it wrong somehow?

Taking the thermos, he quickly went to imitate how he'd seen the other drink from it earlier. And promptly didn't anticipate he should have done it slowly and spilled all over himself. Sputtering in surprise, he coughed and shook his head before looking at the thing in confusion.

Then he looked to the human with worry all over his big black eyes. "I...I broke it. I'm sorry..."

Paio really hadn't but he just didn't understand how it worked.

Paio watched the other to see what he did with the thing he'd handed to him then started to imitate him to do the same. It was his first time seeing a napkin after all. He just wanted to make sure that he was using it correctly!

Leaning forward after, he gasped when he saw liquid appear in the top of the thing. Taking it, he sniffed it carefully then took a cautious sip of it.

Right away his eyes went huge as the sweetness hit his tongue, quickly taking another sip!

"Paio."

He had more of the drink, wiggling a little at how tasty it was. Then he looked over at Will again. He was such a nice person. Not at all as scary as he thought he was at first. Paio really liked him a lot so far. And his food was really tasty too! Maybe some humans weren't actually that scary.

Those dark eyes lit up and he nodded quickly. He very much wanted to hear more of the music. Though if he had any where he came from... "The whales sing to talk to each other."

He was immediately entranced. Just those notes hanging in the air had him drawn in and he forgot to be afraid as he got as close as he could. Wrapping his arms around his legs, he nodded eagerly.

Please. He very much wanted to hear him sing for him. He wanted more of the pretty music the human could make.

He was enchanted by the music, watching with rapt attention. It was like he couldn't even bring himself to blink for fear of missing something. Without even thinking about even scooted close enough that the man could have touched him if he wanted to.

So beautiful. He loved music like this. And though he couldn't understand the words that was fine. He was so happy to just listen.

"I've never done that before." Sung that was. Mostly he kept quiet when he was in the ocean to not draw attention to himself. To keep predators from finding him and eating him. Or humans from fishing him and eating him!

There were a lot of dangers out there.

"...Is it...okay if I learn?"
