Caspian laughed again, shaking his head. "I have faced worse than you." He replied. He almost wanted to demonstrate his own power, and terrify this guy, but… it wasn't worth it.

"Like what?" Tyler fired back. "A shark? A jellyfish? A fucking dolphin? Sorry, but I find that hard to believe."
Caspian flicked his tail up to show the scarring. "No, like fucking magically enhanced sharks." He replied. He pulled out his dagger, and sliced open his pal, murmuring under his breath. His blood bloomed up, and his eyes flashed white as a shroud of darkness spread around them. After a moment, e released the spell, ad his eyes faded back to their normal color. "That was a little bit of tame blood magic. Let me know if you want to see a more dangerous demonstration."
Tyler eyes sparkled. "Ooh, I would love to! That was so cool, dude! Like actually!"
Caspian closed his eyes. "I wasn't being serious. Blood magic is fucking dangerous for me, and I don't do it on a regular basis." He put the dagger away. "Anyway. I'm the one your parents wanted you to stay away from. I'm far too dangerous."
"Then you are the exact type of person that I want to be around. I hate my parents. I would do anything to annoy the fuck out of them. You're the way I can do it."
Caspian pinched the bridge of his nose. "Damn it." He muttered. He looked at the other male tiredly. "Look, I don't know who you are, but you should leave. I am not some…adventure, something to use to annoy your parents. I am a living, breathing thing, and the most dangerous person you could possibly be near." He said, crossing his arms.
"Tyler of the Myrenia family, at your service," Tyler said, bowing slightly as a bit of a joke. "Look, I don't think you understand. I need a little danger in my life."
Caspian shook his head. "Caspian." He replied. "And no, i understand perfectly. You're a spoiled, sheltered brat who thinks the entire world is a party. You know nothing of the real ocean, and nothing about danger. You think you need it?" He shook his head. "Go home, Tyler Myrenia. Go home to your cushy little life in the city."
Tyler took a deep breath, something his sister had taught him. "Look. Put up with me for one day… And then I'll leave. You'll never have to see me again, I just want to do this. Please."
Caspian shook his head slightly. "You can't treat this like a game, kid." He replied. "It isn't."
"I'm not treating this like a game: I'm being serious. I want to experience things outside of the kingdom, and you seem to know the open waters."
Caspian shook his head. "Fine. But don't go crying to me if you get hurt." He said tiredly.
"I won't come crying to you if you don't want me around," Tyler sighed. "And you won't regret it. Well, you probably will, but that's hardly the point."
Caspian shook his head. "And if I tell you to do something, you do it. I don't care if you think it's beneath your noble sensibilities or shit like that, you do it, got it?"
Tyler's eyebrows raised. "If you give me a shit ton of orders, I ain't following them. You can't just expect me to follow everything you say."
Caspian gave him a flat stare. "Then die." He replied. "Because I'm only going to ask you to do something so that you don't get killed. My line of work is dangerous."
"Oh, I'll do what you say if it involves my life, but not if it's something stupid." He glared.
He rolled his eyes. "And god forbid i possibly ask a noble to get his hands dirty!" He snapped sarcastically. He started swimming away. "You wanna come with me? Fine. But keep up."
"If anyone should keep up, it's you," Tyler sighed, catching up and overtaking quickly. "I'm the fastest swimmer in these waters."
"Yes. But you should stay behind me." Caspian replied as he took a turn, heading down towards an abyss, diving into the darkness.
"Well then swim faster," Tyler huffed under his breath, but he followed the dark-tailed mermaid anyway despite the danger.
As they got deeper into the darkness, Caspian cast a spell to create a small, pale illumination around them, lighting up the darkness for a few feet in each direction. He gave a low hum deep in his chest, that echoed through the water. A homing call.
"What are you doing?" He hissed, just managing to hear Caspian's humming. "What is it doing?"
Caspian glanced at him. "Feeding the sharks. If I don't, they terrorize the locals." He replied, as a host of sharks gathered around them. Most were normal, but some bore the marks of magical interference.
