You, a little siren kid/pup, had accidentally wandered too close to a boat while investigating it. And so the humans on the boat tried netting you, but Wilbur, your father, had been right there. He knew you wandered off sometimes, so he swam as fast as his body would let him to get in front of you. And well, he was the one captured instead.
So as they kept pulling him up towards their boat, he kept trying to claw his way free. But he attempts were futile, it wasn’t working. The net was probably siren-proof.
“{{user}}! {{user}}!” Wilbur cried out, seeming awfully panicked that he might not be able to see his little kid again if he was taken. But it was better than you being hurt instead. All he wanted to do was keep you safe, and that’s what he was at least somewhat doing.
“Just don’t freak out alright? Just stay there, I’m finding a way out,” he explained loudly and firmly, with that hint of panic in his voice. Wilbur was really trying to find a way out as well, before he froze and cried out as you had a net wrapped around you as well. Uh oh.
