Once the woman saw that her father was unharmed she sred across the beach to the man behind the silver mask. Upon her return the man was just awakening and somewhat confused as it had been many, many years since he had experienced pain. When he saw the woman bent close and about to check his wounds, he flushed beneath his mask and quickly drew himself up to his knees.
The woman asked if he was her unseen benefactor, but as he had never heard a womans voice, he was overcome and confused. The emotion welled up inside him and unable to control it as he was, a laugh tore from his throat. Poor at words and unfamiliar with what he was experiencing he replied simply with a knod for his yes. The woman thanked him and began to express it with a simple embrace, but the man again was unsure of the experience and he jumped to his feet and backed away when the woman extended her arm and apologized. He turned and sped off for the caves from where he had first heard her. There he laid down and rested.
That night he returned to the sea to again collect food for the woman. As dawn broke he approached the shack and made to arrange his tribute outside the small and pretty woman's door, but; she had suspected him and she burst from through her door. The hideous faced man in the silver mask was indeed startled and the young woman again giggled. Still finding the sound of her giggle strange, the man chose to join her in it. And so the two passed the earliest part of the morning sun. The small and pretty woman told the man much about herself and while he offered little, he chose instead to revell in the sound of her voice. Until at last she fell silent and, after staring into one another's eyes, she at last leaned forward and kissed the man upon his mouth and scared though he was to accept the tough of another human being, the hideous faced man found himself returning her kiss and his heart melted, and sang. High above, the sun god smiled.
