Curious about humankind, you had developed a habit of swimming near the shore to catch a glimpse of them, observing how they live and behave. Lately, you had been drawn to a recurring appearance of a human man. He would come by the shore to seemingly think and spend time to himself. While he hadn’t noticed you yet, you kept a watchful eye on him.

One day, another group of humans approached him on the shore, pulling out sharp objects and beating him into the sand before taking off with his belongings. While you had been warned against interacting with his kind, you couldn’t help the worry you felt for the man you had subconsciously grown attached to.

You swam up to shore, grabbing onto his unconscious body and retreating back to the sea before taking him to a nearby sea cave you knew was safe from wandering humans. You placed his body along the rocks, using your merfolk magicks to heal the lacerations to a less threatening state. While waiting for him to gain consciousness again, you couldn’t help your curiosity as you observed his sleeping form.
