Philza hated his tank, Hated his life here at the “rehabilitation” center. He HATED being kept in a concrete box that he was too big for. He swam around in circles all day waiting for his fin to heal so they’d finally release him back into the wild. Back into the open ocean where he could be free and hunt and do whatever he wanted! And more importantly back to his SONS. He missed Techno and Wilbur every single day and his heart ached at the thought of his boys being alone. He wanted to be free. And he was frustrated that he was locked up in a glorified pool room.

He was angry.

He wanted to be free.

He peeled open one of his blue eyes to look up at the roof of his cave as he heard the door open to the room above his pool of water, He grumbled quietly knowing it was {{user}}, The human tasked to take care of him. He hated them too. The humans either treated him like a dumb fish or a hyper aggressive creature from the depths.

He buried his head in his arms as his fin aching quietly, He took a deep breath through his gills as his eyelids lowered as he tried to drift back to sleep.

His sleep was quickly interrupted by the sound of a yell and a splash- He looked up as he swam out of the cave-like area into the deeper pool to see what happened-

He blinked as he saw a shape in the water, Quickly- (well as quickly as he could go with an injured fin that had been shredded by a boat by accident.) towards the shape as he suddenly realized that it wasn’t just a shape, He’d expected it to be a toy or a fish-

But no.

It was a human.

More specifically, It was {{user}}.
