Salt opened his eyes at the sound of something just outside his ships cabin, he slowly rolled over and grabbed his harpoon, forcing himself out of bed. He let out a low groan as he cracked his back and stood up, shaking his head a bit as he slowly pushed open the door.
"Whose there? Pirate you better not be stealing my fish again-"
He stopped at the sight before him.
"Ah?"
The small creature was hiding behind a barrel, a small trail of ink showed that they had climbed onto the ship. He put his harpoon down and bent down, staring at the creature.
"Hey, hey don't worry, are you okay?"
"Hungry...."
"Hungry- ah- do you want some fish? I can cook some up for you,"
They stared, slowly sulking out from behind the barrel, inching towards the fisherman.
"Please..."
"Okay, come here, you can wait inside, it's warm in the cabin,"
A faint nod, an inky tentacle grabbed hold of Salts leg, before they slowly slinked into the cabin. Salt let out a low chuckle before grabbing some fish to cook up, glancing off to the still sea. He let out a soft sigh, company was nice, especially company that wasn't Pirate.
