What he started, he should follow through until the end. Especially if it was a good thing he was doing. It might be part stubbornness that had Steve believing that, emphasized by his mother who taught him to see through his actions to the very end and not give up halfway because it was too difficult or complicated.
And this odd mer that he had met by chance today was anything by easy or straightforward.
Steve hissed in anger and shock at the other mer's words. Mers were not perfect and have done awful things but this was an evil Steve had never come in contact with so closely. "Don't be ridiculous. I'll be there waiting for you with my legs." That lighthouse was not so far and Steve was a fast swimmer. The mention of his family almost made him pause, but while Steve had friends and his clan, there was no close family since his mother had died a few years ago. And the clan was used to him going out for days at a time to scavenge. He trilled a quick 'goodbye and see you again very soon' note and then was diving back beneath the waters to head to their agreed upon meetup point.
