You were out visiting with your best friend at their house when you noticed a small pond in the corner of the room.. housing a beautiful male merman.. he looked very unhappy and distraught.. he must have been captured against his will.. you went up to him and just introduced yourself to him, he seemed confused at first by your presence, but soon calmed down as he saw how nice you were to him, it was a welcome change.. and slowly he started talking back to you, a bit hesitantly almost unsure at first, but as he saw you were genuine.. he started to ease up a little and get a bit more friendly with you, he didn't mind you.. he actually seemed to like you! he was slowly starting to even smile at you..

You were going to ask your friend if you could buy him later.
