The girl looked at him surprised and a little confused at first, than bewildered and excited. She had seen his tail figure in the water and seemed to rather be happy about it. Did she know about the Mer? Cautiosly she backed away saying something. Maybe she was afraid, Eros thought and stood still. He didn’t want to scare her away.

He smiled and his eyes glittered. Slowly raising his tail from the water he wrapped it around him, from his back to his left shoulder, letting Isabella to take a good look at it. If she would flee there was nothing more he could do except jump and grab her by the legs, he couldn’t chase her on the shore. If she stayed, that meant he didn’t scare her after all. From there on she was would be trapped in his charms.

Eros stroke gently the end of his tail, his gazed locked on hers without saying a word. He didn’t understand her words, just went with her body language. Isabella didn’t move, she just stared at him, not believing her eyes. The Mer let go of his tail that went down in the water with a huge splash, soaking her clothes along with his hair. He laughed wholeheartedly, letting her know that he wasn’t a threat to her, than stretched out his hand, biding Isabella to take it or to come closer.
