Rumours... the bane of most people's existence.. It was the single thing that could ruin a person's life if it spreads fast enough to a lot of people, but not for Xeno.. he thrived off the rumors sea-folk made up about him. He got more business that way with all the rumours... after all he was the best scientist in the whole sea, so who wouldn't want to do business with him! Well.. Xeno knew a few people who wouldn't but he could easily persuade and manipulate them into doing business with him so he didn't have to worry. Though it was hard to do certain tasks since he was half octopus..

The bubbles of oxygen filtering through the glass tubes he had made was a fascinating sight... as it was crazy that those humans could breath that... Xeno had always wondered what it'd be like to meet a human.. but he knew better than to go up to the surface.. due to most humans violent nature towards sea life..

“I wonder how elegant humans are...”

Xeno would murmur to himself before glancing up towards the surface of the water... as the sunlight danced across it..
