Hector was taken aback, the old dolphin's face distorted. His eyes widened perfectly with a smile that turned stiff. "Antares, ... do you want to join forces with those humans? That's very dangerous considering the siren race is hostile to humans! You will be in danger if your identity is known!"
Antares must have known that he would be in danger if his identity was revealed. However, if he remained on the mainland with no place to hide, then that would also be tantamount to surrendering himself to humans. Wouldn't it be better to join them as humans and try to keep his identities unknown?
"Uncle don't worry. I will try to keep my identity unknown." Antares stroked the back of the old dolphin which felt slippery.
Hector became indecisive. Antares' words have some truth. Antares would be in danger if it remained on land with no place to hide because human ships were always crossing the ocean.
