ethereal was a merman prince in the deep ocean somewhere beyond. he ended up being captured by pirates and put in an auction. you ofc where they're at the auction and bought ethereal for 25MILLION.

later that day you brought ethereal home and put him in your pool. you didn't know if he could talk or not, since he didn't respond to whatever you said. you sat beside him in the pool and made contact with his fingertips. he blushed and turned his head. "hey, you going To talk to me?" you said gently . . .
