"Is it?" An eyebrow arched rather clearly, "I'd think honesty without going in to details is committal enough, while setting a rather clear boundary that I'm not going to delve that deeply. I appreciate your help, but there's a difference between being grateful and what I'm comfortable in giving." Very easy to pick up offence from that, a slight narrowing of eyes before turning his head away, sinking deeper in to that tub.

Didn't turn his head or shift his gaze when he spoke again. "I wasn't out deep enough to be near anything that could," there were things out there, but he hunted places where he'd never encounter something he couldn't fight. "Alright." Rest was about all he could do.

Silent, thinking- "It depends on how active I am, but given I'm going to be resting here to heal just a few meals worth a day. What you provided was good for one."

His head tipped, "If I was avoiding an answer, it would be very much clear that I wouldn't answer at all. You're curious, and that's fine," because really. Human interacting with something clearly not human and able to communicate clearly. "When you ask something I don't want to answer, I'll make it clear for you. Until then? You will hear what I can answer with," and it sounded reasonable to him, honestly.

There was a moment of almost silence- "It is possible something is happening to.. drive something from the deep closer inland. That wouldn't be good for anyone, including those of you on land." So definitely look in to it.

"If it makes it easier? I am capable of eating more than fish, so you can supplement things from a... grocery store." As if the word was foreign on his tongue, but he still knew it. Knew it's meaning and what it was.

"Trust me, I will." There was a hint of amusement to his tone as he said it, stretching out just a bit in that tub, fins curling before he was relaxed once again. Was going to get cramped real fast. He'd have to do something about that, soon.

Hell, who knows. A certain creature may have narrowly escaped something much more worse than washing up on shore in a way that if left there he'd surely be dead. Much worse fates than death, but for the moment he just knew there was something very wrong, and it was safer to stay inland. "Just be careful," even information could be dangerous. Or something along those lines.

"Yeah. Be surprise what can be found at times," benefiting from cargo lost at sea? Possible, yes. "Or how close to land some will come if they've got a taste for more than fish- have gone up rivers for deer and the like."

gr1m: (Have I ever led you wrong?)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
Only reason most were alive- that or dumb luck.

Didn't make much of a comment after that other than nodding his head- "You've got more options that you first thought feeding me," which would work out better for the both of them, so he imagined. Fishing could be hard work the way humans did it, and if this one didn't grow up fishing an ocean an even more difficult time. Probably.

"We'll see what you come up with then, Jack."

"Just keep in mind that whatever it is, I need a good portion of meat as the basis." Primarily a carnivore, but that fact he did have an omnivore nature just meant he did get everything essential for keeping healthy with the type of creature he was. Even if some things were more treat at times than necessary for his survival.

Did think for a moment, shaking his head slowly- "Nothing that I can think of, no. At least not food-wise."

gr1m: (Don't talk about the polish)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
"I will take tomatoes and peppers, however." Not a salad but sounded like the start of a good salsa? Something like that maybe- "Some onions, cilantro- Then again maybe not for you." Was that a tease? How was that a tease that carried in his voice over some little list like that as if he knew what he was talking about-

There was a moment of thoughtful silence there. "Nothing I can think of. Been a while since I was on land to any capacity."

gr1m: (Stay up late)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
A soft hum, "Whenever I come inland enough to get it, yeah. Sometimes things fall off ships, things like that." Wasn't something he got overly often, but he damn well knew what he liked. "Sounds reasonable, and rather good, to me." Fish stir fry? Or whatever other meat Jack might have on hand to spare for that.

That was permission enough for him, wasn't it. "I'll keep it in mind, more so if I find myself needing to stretch- and won't track sea water through your home." Could promise that much at least.

"Can't say that I have, no. Most of my diet is raw, save for the few times I've ventured on land, but never grilled." Baked or perhaps... 'roasted' over an open flame, but he at least knew grilling was much more different than that. Knew what it was from the answer at least. "Could try rare first and go from there over the period of time you're going to have me as a guest."

Warmed up to the thought, watching Jack as he moved, shifting so arms were folded on the edge of the tub, head rested against them.

"Something sweet?"

gr1m: (Familiar warmth)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
He chuckled a bit, head still rested on arms, tail tapping against part of the tub as he shifted so very slightly within it. Careful not to slosh out any water at least, just looking much more comfortable despite still obvious injuries. "We will see, won't we? Looking forward to it with that talking up of your grilling skills, Jack." Really, he was.

There was a thoughtful expression- "Maybe? But too long ago for me to remember properly." Been a long, long time since he had last ventured on to land for one reason or another.

"I'll be waiting to see if what you say holds true, Jack." Sounded more amused and, well, honestly looking forward to it. Sure, he had honestly had meat cooked over an open fire, but this really did sound far different than that. The sauce a trick? Color him intrigued.

"Still will be in your home," just perhaps not his bathtub.

Which would be true when Jack got back, the bathroom -if he went there after unloading whatever he'd gotten- would actually look and smell fresh and clean. Dry, and bathtub drained. The only thing missing were a few towels- but the bedroom door would be open. Curtain drawn, or blinds closed, with whatever window was there and, well.

His guest was stretched out on that bed, dry himself with towels under him just in case. All of that wavy hair brushed and tied back so much more neatly. Eyes closed and tail somehow mostly on the bed as he rested on his back, some bandages re-done so as not to bleed all over the place either. The tub wasn't large enough for him to rest easily apparently, but the question could be how the hell he got there.

gr1m: (If I just stayed here)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
He stretched, making an entire show of it and almost seeming to spread himself even more over that bed as his tail curled along with fins. Arms stretched out above his head and hair shifting against pillows, looking for all the world like he belonged right there in that bed like some pampered being from the sea.

"Maybe, if you're not one who likes to cuddle up." A hum to his voice as if considering and... not at all thinking much of the fact he was caught on the bed.

Jack had told him to get comfortable and make himself at home, more or less. For all the world he considered this all the be a part of that offer. He'd done his best to not make a mess, and surprisingly the bed wouldn't smell terribly of the sea- at least no more than the salty air made it, oddly pleasant and welcoming rather.

"It isn't uncommon to sleep relatively easily when closer to whomever is being traveled with-" A way of saying it was common with the less solitary of his kind, the way he had once been. "-So it wouldn't be easy to disturb me, since unlike small caves within rock or coral this is a lot more spacious. If anything some of my spines would be more likely to disturb you." Gesturing a little towards the spine along the back of his tail, shifting enough to do so.

Even if when he rested a hand against it it was clear it was more flexible than it looked, likely due to the fact he was so relaxed.

With a bit of moving and adjusting of his weight, he was able to sit himself up in that bed, tail and fins curled enough for him to do so comfortably, leaning closer towards where Jack stood- "Cookies?" That was a yes.

gr1m: (Genuine and rare)
From: [personal profile] gr1m
He had his reasons to stay, to become solitary rather than moving on with his own social group; got on well enough, still was clearly well fed and all. If it hadn't been for whatever happened he'd still likely be fine. "So long as I'm not chasing you out of it. Enough room for two, judging it's size and yours with mine," and so he was more or less saying they could sleep in it together.

The napkin padded cookie was taken, a piece broken off so he could get a look and even a scent of it- "This is why I don't understand why people eat seaweeds," a tone that made it very difficult to tell if he were joking or not.

Those eyes of his lit up when he finally took a bite of the piece he broke off, but he didn't engulf it all at once. Oh no, he took his time savoring that cookie. It was a perfect taste as far as he was concerned.
