Her eyes widened, then she smiled and hugged him back
"I love you mother...don't forget that fact, i may not seem like i care for you...but i do....take care of yourself, alright?"
She hugged him tighter, tearing up a bit
"I love you too....please-you two- take care of each other..."
"Alright...c-could you squeeze me a little less tighter, i think im gonna explode ;v;"
He laughed, resting his head on her shoulder as he pats her back
She let go gently. Kappa smiled, he was really happy for Siren
"...Okay could y'all lower your spears? i think we established we're good to go!"
He laughed once more, waving goodbye to his mother as he swam to Kappa
They lowered their spears, backing up. Kappa smiled brightly at Siren, eyes sparkling
"We're really safe now-"
"Mhm...Thank you...again Mother, Sorry for how i erm..acted"
He held out his hand for Kappa, offering to help him up
He took it and hugged him
Siren smiled and hugged him back, finally feeling...relieved
