The mini-squids didn't seem to mind as they climbed up onto him and sat down on his lap, leaning back against him in a satisfied manner. Marina couldn't help but sigh happily at how naturally her children took to their father. They were normally not very trusting of anyone other than their mother, hiding in her shadow and huddling together for protection even if the person did not intend to cause them any harm. Toward Sam, however, they were open and free, glad to see the man that had helped bring them into that world. Marina sat down beside him and scooped up one of the little squids, placing her into her own lap despite the young child's protests.
"I... I understand what I did was a bit reckless, but I couldn't stop worrying about you... I just had to see you again, and the little ones did too. They keep asking me about you, like where you are and what you are doing," Marina bent forward and kissed his cheek, "It's hard for me to keep moving forward by myself, but I know you wouldn't want us to follow you. After all, things will only get more dangerous from here on, since you are going after the fire elemental next, aren't you?"
