The sea sculpted stallion watched the fast moving fish dart away, apologizing silently for interrupting their day. It had been worth it though, to bring a little happiness to the girl he'd met. Her face had fallen when he'd dropped the pen, but her couldn't keep it going forever. Not even his ma could do that.
His attention was redirected however by the sad lilt of her voice. Looking at the pale coated girl, his ears twisted with concern. Lost? That was no good. Broad fluked tail swishing behind him, he waited for her to pause her thoughts while he gathered his own. "Yeah," he nodded, mishearing her last phrase. "Mola are really big. It'd take a lot of work to pull them up. I could try sometime though, if you want." He pawed at the water again, weight shifting from one side to the other.
"D'you... d'you know where you are now?" He asked, trying and failing to hold her gaze as he did. "Or do you know where you're trying to go? I can help you get someplace safer than here." He nodded to the river, to where it turned into rapids further up. Ruefully he realized that if she was really lost, then he had no choice but to help her. His mother would hang him out to dry if she ever found out he'd done anything less. Besides. He would feel guilt enough without his mother's influence.
Smiling as reassuringly as he could manage with a mouthful of predatory teeth, Cormorant let the water flow past them easily as she looked back up at him. For all that they stood with massive height differences, they still matched color wise. That was as good a reason as any he could think of to take her under his proverbial wing.
