Flirtation
Reading the question in her eyes, he spoke. "I cannot raise the trinket from the depths. I have power over the sea, yes, but no control. Should I try, I would dislodge the entire vessel from the ocean floor and my children call its hull their home now. It seems most fitting that it should be her decedent that reclaims it for me, do you not think?"
Chihiro nodded softly. "I'll bring it back to you, I promise." With that she moved to jump into the water, but a small hand grasped her arm and spun her to face him, surprise written across his face.
"Wait until light. There are more dangers than the fish in the darkness below. Should you get trapped inside, I'll not be able to rescue you. I cannot step foot on any structure not of the earth and his ship the only place in my domain that I cannot protect you."
Her eyes turned toward the shadowy water again. This mission seemed to be an exercise in flirtation with danger, but she couldn't refuse his offer. Couldn't refuse the sadness in his eyes which mirrored her own so perfectly.
Slowly, she nodded. "I'll return in the morning, and I'll bring you back the necklace. I swear."
