Greetings such as the one he just gave to the other mer was just basic politeness, to Steve. It doesn't matter he didn't receive an answering one, he isn't offended, not with the visible surprise in the other's eyes when he gave it. He shrugged at the warning about getting hurt. "Yes and...? I can get hurt a thousand different ways in the sea as well just by swimming along minding my own business. You have been away for a long time if you've forgotten that." The sea, underneath the waves, was beautiful and HOME but it wasn't tame or safe by any standards.
Steve wiggled his feet and they were really feet now and meet the other mer's gaze. "I have a feeling it will be worth it." Here he paused and blinked. "I...what do I call you? I'm Steve."
