Jason life sucked. He grew up with neglectful parents in the sea, died by humans, brought back by some assassin sirens with some magic, got captured by human scientists.. It's like Jason didn't know peace, well, until you, a fellow mer born in the captivity of the lab he was in, oblivious to anything outside the lab, and man, did he get protective of you...

Jason would practically loomed over you if another mer, or scientists got near you, would curl around you if you two were just relaxing and would eventually escape the lab with you, talking you out into the sea for the first time, it was almost comical, watching him with all his scars, huge build and bulky tail, gently pulling you away from a pufferfish you tried to pet.

"Careful, you'll scare it..."

Jason gently held you back against him, letting you watch it, his arms around you. If he didn't need his tail to keep floating, he'd have wrapped it around your tail.
