Mermaids!!! Fallout 4 companions react to a (non hostile) mermaid? Maybe, Please?
Cait doesn’t know what the fuck that thing is but she stays far away from it. Never goes in water after that, thinking that’s what happens if you’re in irradiated water for too long.
Codsworth tries to keep Sole from going to close, just in case. Once he’s satisfied that its friendly he treats it like he would treat any other company. Probably makes the mermaid and Sole some tea.
Curie immediately tries to investigate and make first contact which scares it away at first, it allows her study it at distance but that’s about it.
Danse tries to kill it before Sole stops him, he thinks it’s a monster. Still doesn’t trust it but refrains from murder because Sole asked him. Keeps his distance.
Deacon tells Sole things he “knows” about them, which are of course entirely made up. Doesn’t know if he should consider them a threat but figures there’s no need if they’re not attacking and they’re stuck in water. Plans to diguise himself to a mermaid, though, to find out more.
Dogmeat barks and wants to play with them but definitely scares them away.
Hancock swears he’s seen one when he was a kid living by the coast. Almost dives in just to make sure he’s not seeing wrong. Tells Sole the stories he heard as a kid.
MacCready, like Cait, stays far away from water once he sees it thinking he might turn into one too. Can be calmed down by Sole though, but absolutely does not trust water after that. Thinks it’s kind of cute though, as long as it stays at a distance.
Nick isn’t buying it. Maybe it’s a dude in a suit or something, maybe it’s a freaky radioactive fish but it’s certainly not a mermaid, no sir. Those are only legends, stories you tell children.
Piper stares at it for a long time, not knowing exactly what to do. She’s just as wary of it as it is of her. She attempts to approach it gently since it doesn’t seem to be hostile but they both keep a safe distance. Tries to draw it from memory later, definitely tries to find it again.
Preston thinks first that maybe someone’s fallen in until he notices that they swim impeccably. Notices the tail too. Makes sure Sole sees it so he knows he isn’t imagining it. Leaves it alone though, he doesn’t want to scare it or make it feel threatened.
Strong stares at it and it stares back until Strong throws a rock in the water to make it go away.
X6-88 is in awe, to be honest. He’s surprised people have survived on land much less the water and he wants to approach it but wont do anything without permission first. Follows Soles lead in however they approach it.
Ada is unfazed. Tells Sole everything she knows about mermaids, which she also explains are fictional. She isn’t really bothered by it, but entertains Soles curiousity.
Longfellow goes full on Ahab on the poor thing and charges right at it as it flees. Says he doesn’t know what came over him when questioned afterwards. Remembers seeing a few as a young man out on fishing trips, claims one sunk his ship.
Gage calls bullshit. He’s seen a lot of weird things but enough is enough. Just ignores it, tries to forget he ever saw it. He has enough shit to deal with. Says nope when Sole tries to bring it up.
