Horris was still slightly confused as to how two mermaids could inhabit one body, or was it just two personalities? Either way, he decided to go along with it because apparently the dangerous one wasn't 'out' right now. He kept his gun raised and listened to her speak, waiting for her to finish all she had to say, and forming his reply in his mind. His facial expression usually blank with attention, but at certain parts in her speech, he would furrow his eyebrows or frown a bit, widen his eyes or glance off to the side, just flashes of the emotions that entered him alongside the words of the mermaid. When she did finish, he paused for a second, then gave her his reaction.

"Ah, it makes me feel so much better that we are a delicacy and not a normal main course, I wouldn't want the blood and flesh of the men who gave their lives for a purpose bestowed upon them to taste bad to you." Horris had felt a little sick when he heard this, but by the time the mermaid had finished he knew she was just trying to justify. "I know you didn't mean it that way, you didn't mean to offend, few would try to offend with a gun to their head." He tapped the barrel of his gun. "But please... I would rather not discuss my kind being eaten."

He let out a breath and calmed himself. "As for April, if she could switch out and eat me, I think I will keep my gun near me now.", he gripped it at his side, "Precautions. Assure her that I am here to help, though." This brought him to his final point, and he sighed deeply, lowering his gun and looking at all of them; "And yes...yes I do have a family, I have not seen them recently but make no mistake I intend to see them again. Unfortunately..." He looks down at Avidin and then looks up at Carmoic, then back down at May with dull eyes, "Unfortunately that does not change the fact that I do not know how to help those two, I do not have the supplies needed, I don't think we expected to be curing this kind of thing." He then quickly continued with, "I do know, however, that the fungus is curable. I will try to remember what I know and give you if you like.
