[ he's bothered though. his life was saved and now he has a new human thing... but he has nothing to show his gratitude with? usually he'd just take and not care about that but... ]
[ Fuck he honestly doesn't want to leave yet, but he can already tell the water is getting unruly... which means dad might be worried about him. A storm might happen if he doesn't get home soon.
He checks his cuts and they seem to have dried enough that if he hurries it won't attract sharks... hopefully. He turns to Takumi, stuffing the knife in the back of his sash. ]
[Here ya go buddy, he can help haul you in... even he gets his feet wet and winces like small daggers are stabbing into his soles. Just... grit and bare it]
[ Choromatsu is oblivious to this because he is too surprised by just how STRONG he is, at least in comparison to any mer he's met.
Once he's back in the water he's a bit of a dead fish from the surprise before perking back up. He swims out a little away from the shore, then turns back to Takumi. ]

The ache in his feet is already telling him this is a bad idea... but he can't bring himself to stay away, either]
