*While the mer is gone, Yugi will find old bits of wood and a lighter that still works if he wants to build a fire, not to mention all kinds of other neat things.*

*Yugi is too weak to really manage to do much, but Yami emerges to look around and at least /see/ what’s about.  Yugi just…naps while Yami pokes around, waking and working himself upright to sit when the mer returns*

Yugi: Ah . . . t-thank you. *he’s…not sure he can, though – not sure /how/*

Mer: *concerned look when Yugi doesn't move. It'll pull itself from the water and onto the ledge by Yugi. Out of the water like this, the form seems male. He reaches to touch Yugi's face.* No die. Eat. Please.

Yugi: *gives him a wan grin, catching the hand in a gentle squeeze* I’ll try. Thank you. I can’t eat it like this, though. I’ll make me sick.

Yami: [Aibou.]

Yugi: *mental nods and “steps back”*

Yami: *small /frown/ as he takes control and feels just how /badly/ off Yugi is . . . drags himself to his feet with effort and starts pulling the wood together, clearing a space, getting the lighter, finding a knife, etc*

Mer: *startles back, diving back into the water and then peeking over the edge at Yami. He makes a few soft clicks as he watches Yami.*

Yami: *small grin, nodding – he’s not going to apologize for startling the creature, but he will try to show that he’s friendly . . . goes about his business, finally settling to start…w-well, /trying/ to clean and prepare the meat, keeps /grimacing/ at the blood and guts, but determined*

Mer: *will pull himself from the water again, curiously watching Yami. After a little bit he'll makes noises and hold out his hand for the knife.*

Yami: ……….. *gives it to him – why not…*

Mer: *will quickly take care of one big fish. Clearly Yugi isn't the first human he's brought here to help...*

Yami: Mn. Thank you. *will…just let the mer take care of the rest if he seems willing*

Mer: *will do so for him, and then rest his elbows on the ledge, face in his hands, and watch Yami with a curious expression.  He’ll occasionally reach down to pick up a bit of fish skin to nibble on.*
