Her smile is sweet and absolutely no promise against drowning. Not that she'd ever do so intentionally, but it would be all to easy with their different natures. Water and air is what they were. Vivid embodiments of their own elements, unable to survive where the other felt most at home. But if he wanted to see her home, well, perhaps some creative thinking would allow it.
Her disappointment at his not knowning her friend was quickly forgotten, as the winged boy smiled at her again. It would be impossible to stay disappointed with such a smile for long. "Behave yourself, and you'll have nothing to worry about. Or don't, and see what happens." She teased, a dare in her eyes. Her party tricks had all been harmless thus far, but he'd be a fool if he thought the pretty sea mare wasn't capable of much greater things when she called on the water. Beauty and danger could be found in equal measure when one looked at the ocean and her daughters.
"It sounds lovely. You would like the view below, I think. It's a riot of colors, and the landscape always changes. There's more kinds of creatures in the sea than you'd imagine. I'd love to show you, someday." Her voice turned wistful at the description, but brightened at the thought of sharing her secret world with someone. She wasn't sure how it could be done just yet, but committed herself to figuring out a way by the time she ran into Pteron again.
His last comment found her blushing, uncertain if he was referring to their surroundings or herself. She took a chance, and nudged the solid plane of his neck gently with her forehead. "You're a terrible flirt, you know this?" She asked gravely, a wry smile on her lips. "I like it." It was a brief, but entirely truthful admission, even if she couldn't quite make eye contact after saying it.
