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!

After Paio took the second drink, Will smiled warmly. What a sweet creature he was, obviously so new to life on land.

"Have as much as you like. There's plenty to share." Will reached over to pop one of the red grapes into his mouth. Once he finished chewing it, he pushed it into his cheek. "I'm Will, by the way. Is there something I can call you?"

"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.

"Hi, Paio. It's very nice to meet you." He finished his grape then looked from his new friend to the guitar. "Would you like to hear me play more? Do you have music where you come from?"

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."

"Oh, that must sound amazing!" Will's, obviously, only ever heard recordings of whale song, but they sounded beautiful to him. It must be different when you're actually under the water to hear them.

While all this skittered through his mind, Will wiped his hands off on a napkin and then retrieved his guitar. He strummed it a few times just to let Paio hear the notes resonate in the air.

"I can sing for you, too, if you want."

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.

Was there anything more pleasant than an eager audience? Maybe, but not in this moment! Smiling over at Paio, he finally settled on a to start with. One of his own, of course, because they were always the first to pop into his head.

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.

When he finished, Will smiled at his enraptured audience. What a sweet thing Paio was, so obviously new to things like picnics and guitars.

"Do you sing, Paio? I can teach you a song, if you'd like."

"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?"

"I think it's okay. I'll be very happy to teach you if you want to learn." Will gave him a warm smile, nodding as he spoke. "Music is very important to me, so I love being able to share it with others."
