The more Ienzo stopped by to visit, the more Demyx started to notice certain things about him. Certain things that he'd never quite noticed when watching other humans in all his years living in this body of water.
He'd freely admit that humans could be attractive - even he knows the stories that mankind tells about his - and he's well aware that certain members of his species willingly seek humans out for a little fun. He'd even heard rumors about some using magic to conceal their true nature and actually live with them as if they were human too, but...
He had no desire to be human.
Ienzo, though... He didn't know when it started, but he found himself wanting Ienzo to stay longer than he already did. Staying until the sun went down had been fine at first, and even watching him camp out for a night had been mildly entertaining but Demyx wasn't as foolish as he liked to act. He knew humans were fragile, so over time he'd sought out the little spot on the beach he'd stumbled across months before meeting the other man.
Every time Ienzo left for the day or simply couldn't make it, he'd made himself busy trying to fix it. Of course that was easier said and done when he didn't quite understand how it all worked, but eventually he'd made it presentable. With this, maybe he could convince the human to stay longer than a day. Maybe even days.
And of course every day he'd meet up with him between then and now, Demyx did his best to find various odds and ends to try enticing him to stay longer, or at the very least stop by more often. Odd looking shells, old trinkets that had fallen overboard from humans in the past, and even chunks of rocks with traces of past life etched into them. He may not know much about Ienzo's whole gig as a scientist, but humans seemed to like strange, old things so it felt like the safest bet. They had entire buildings dedicated to that sort of thing, after all.
Today, though...
Today was going to be the real test - he had to show him what he'd been working on, and if that went well... He'd have to try his luck, wouldn't he?
It's why he stands up to his full height when he catches Ienzo's scent in the air in the hopes of spotting him along the trail that leads to the beach - their beach. It may be easier to run around on all fours like a wild animal, but he could still walk and behave somewhat civilized - this was important. Now if he could get the knot of anxiety out of his gut, he'd be set.
