[If he were more inclined to give the siren anything like an advantage, Harada would let him know that it's the smirk that gives him away. He might think he's crafty but his arrogance makes him an open book. He stops a safe distance away, still looking at the glimmering scales. If nothing else, Mei does know how to show off.]

If it's just something like a name, you can show me from there. Maybe that's why this isn't working, though. I don't believe in magic.

[And with that he turns and starts walking away. It's the only choice, really. He could feel the tug of the siren's voice when he sang his name again and he needs distance to resist it, but he also still needs to start looking for a stone. He does his best not to betray his intentions, though; if Mei knows he's heading for the water, Harada's not sure he'd be fast enough to outmaneuver him.]
