Palette challenge #25 - Deal

Requested by gabrielsangel May I request a picture of Octo!Hanni coaxing Mer!Will into his deal. Palette #8


"It is all there," The warlock's voice hit his ears. "Sign your name if you wish or leave me be. I have many clients to see and I'd rather not keep them waiting.

A lie, of course. But a small one. There would be others who would come to see them, but he needed the young man to make his choice soon… or at least, before he could change his mind. 

The merman stare down at the scroll, watching the ink spill out his fate. One voice, a small token in exchange for the chance to be with the human his heart adored. A week's time. More than enough, or so Hannibal had said. He could feel it, his chance was right there. If he left now, every chance he'd ever have to be with Alana might vanish forever. No, not might, it would. He had the chance to gain legs, Alana could never have a fin. 

And wasn't it better this way? How could he face his father again after what he'd done. Shame? No, He'd never feel bad for learning the ways of humans. Anger? Could he be angry at his father forever? No, that was impossible. This was was better. He still had six sons, all who loved him, adored him, feared the human world as he did. 

What was one less son? Will pressed the quill to the scroll, the ink capturing his signature.
