Riley isn't really sure how to respond, just because he doesn't actually know any other sirens in this town. Or he might and not know it, that's a very distinct possibility, and it still kind of surprises him just how open people here seem to be about the existence of magic. He'd never heard of Siren Cove before his parents had told him this is where his birth parents are from, he'd never seen a mention of anything strange happening in this small place in Maine, but maybe he just hadn't been looking in the right places. Now that he's here, he's been avoiding doing the research on his original roots that he's supposed to, and he's grateful that Ryan hasn't pushed him toward it but Riley knows what's holding him back.

There's a large part of him that doesn't want anything to do with his birth parents. They'd abandoned him, and he knows they must have had their reasons but as long as he doesn't know them, those reasons don't matter. Eight years had gone by before his parents, the mother and father he considers his real family, had adopted him and for most of his childhood, Riley had felt wholly unloved.

Things are so much different now, he's had a family for long than he hasn't, but he thinks the bitterness will always linger. Adam, it seems, understands that in his own way.

"You're the first one I've ever met," Riley admits, and he isn't sure whether it's smart to say or not but Adam is standing here saying that he doesn't want to be regulated so it stands to reason that he wouldn't do anything to betray the reasons why he maybe should be. Riley can't form a real opinion, not until he gets to know this place a little better and what it means to be a part of Siren Cove; but from what he can tell, Adam appears to be a good enough guy. He's willing to take that at face value.

"Just for the record, if you really want me to do something, ask. I'm pretty easy."
