Come on, that look? The way this guy was talking to him? Tucker could see through it, the same human reactions. No, it wasn’t like the rumors and he didn’t try to drag people down to drown; if he did, this really ungrateful ass would be swallowing half the ocean. Ugh. Humans.
“I would suggest being a little nicer before I leave you here and just go back home to my kid.” Tucker swirled his tail in the water, half-glaring. “But I can get you some fish and there’s water from the rain on the top of this rock, so you’ll be fine. And once you’re ready, I figured I could try to swim with you to the shore at night so the sun doesn’t cook you. Or we can wait until another ship goes by and try to get you on that; this is a pretty popular area.”
The skeptical look was challenging. "Unless you have a better idea?"
