Parody by @discothemechanic
Yes it's me again!! Hello! Ne phone ne parody I always say! (I don't always say that lol)
Anyways rules!
No NSFW
No phobia of any kind (except fear) that includes culture and religion
I have a right to block.
If you have issue with me bring it up with my main bloggers an not my parodies thank you.
Reference and info:
I feel like shit. I’ll be on semi-hintas. That includes all my parody blogs. If this is reblogged by a parody then it’s mine.
🪩 Hello! Owner of the blog here! I wanted to let you know I am currently very sick and I apologize for any delay on responses or posts. I have been spending most of my time sleeping and being incredibly dizzy heh! So please be patient!
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
"How are you two doing in here?"
-> Pavo came into the bathroom and just like Seafoam guessed, the avian demon had changed into his usual right body suit, arms exposed with thigh high boots and some sort of little jacket on, shoulders exposed as the jacket hung down a little. He had all sorts of shiny jewelry pieces on... Oh god was he pretty.
"We're fine! Dom was just playing with one of the shampoo bottles... I uh- I don't know if it's safe for his skin and hair, y'know?"
Dom continued to pout till he looked up at Pavo. His upset expression formed into a mesmerized one. He’s never seen a demon so pretty before….
His tail began to wag, causing water to splash onto the floor…
"I uh... I don't believe you two have ever met before! But I wouldn't be shocked if Dom has heard about you, Pavo. You are quite famous." "Dom, this is Pavane or "Pavo" for short. He's a famous singer and performer from the Island of Storms. He's even performed for your auntie before." -> The expression on Pavo's visor switches briefly to a couple question marks, his head tilting towards Seafoam. "And Pavo, this is Dom. He's one of Queen Windforce's nephews! One of the grandsons of Firebrand himself... The man who runs that massive gladiator arena!"
Dom tilts his head when the visor changed. He was curious…how did it work!? The mer was fascinated…
His fined ears wiggled, eye lit up like a Christmas light…he looked absolutely adorable!
"I see Dom's already taken interest in you, Pavo..." -> He snickers a little and reaches over, patting Dom on the head with a smile on his face. "I'm not shocked, sea star. A lot of demons are interested in me in one way or another!" -> He chirps and takes off his visor. Oh! He had eyes underneath that thing! They were a nice dark blue like his wings and horns.
Dom ignored Seafoam’s pats and continued to stare. He doesn’t know demon culture or how things worked much on the surface. Although Pavo was the biggest thing that caught his attention.
He didn’t know why- he didn’t even know what he was feeling. If the mer could make any noises he would be chirping and shrilling with delight!
"I will have to admit, sea star. Your little friend is very cute!" -> Pavo stepped closer and gently tapped the merdemon's nose, smiling and cooing at him. "Everyone in his family would say that too! You should hear how much his big brother talks about him."
Dom froze when his nose was tapped. His tail began making big splashes in the water as his face turned a bright pink.
The pretty bird called him cute! His heart was racing! Oh no- is this what his brother said was…love?
"Oh! Look at that sweet little face of his, sea star!" -> Seafoam giggles a little and crosses his arms over his chest, his lotl tail swishing idly behind him. "I think it's because you're so pretty, Pavo. Anyone would be blushing around you!"
Dom mentally squeaked and bruised his face into the water. His face was hit and his mind was mush. He didn’t know what was happening!
The only thing that could really show what Dom was feeling at the moment was his tail wagging.
"Oh-!" "Gentle with him, Pavo. Give the man some room to breathe." -> Pavo giggles a little and steps back, crossing his arms over his chest, his long peacock feathers wagging a little. "My apologizes, sweetheart. I guess I can be quite forward!"
Sweetheart!? That made him curl in on himself, tail wagging faster. He’s never felt so giddy before.
He lifted his head out of the water to look back at Pavo again. A bright pink still painting his cheeks. He was kinda upset the peacock back up.
He lifted himself up more to be closer, not wanting the other to leave.
"How about I leave you two be, hm? I sense a little something in the air... Pavo, are any of your little helpers around? I wanted to speak with them about something?" "They are, sea star." -> Seafoam nods and gets up, walking out of the bathroom to go find one of Pavo's servants.
Dom got a little nervous when Seafoam left. He doesn’t know what he is feeling and didn’t exactly want to be left alone with the person causing these feelings. Are they good? Bad? Maybe that’s why Seafoam left because they were good emotions. Yeah, he will go with that.
He didn’t know what to do. He can’t speak, write or walk. Part of him wishes he could now. So he just stared back with a shine in his eye…
-> Pavo goes over to the toilet and sits down, crossing one leg over the other with a gentle smile on his face. His pretty blue wings stretched out before holding back in on themselves. "Well now... I can finally be alone with a cutie! Seafoam's very cute himself... But I don't think my ex would want to see me acting all cutesy towards someone else..." -> Ex?
Dom flushed pink and sunk a little into the bath. The mer was very shy but his fins seemed to show he was happy with their wiggles.
Why did the word ex make him feel a little sad? He didn’t understand but he wanted to understand. So he listened.
"Oh look at you! You're so cute!" -> He leans towards the tub and wiggles his talons at Dom, cooing at him in attempts to lure him out. "I won't hurt you, sweetheart. Seafoam wouldn't trust me alone with you if he knew I was a danger."
Dom was attracted to the noises, fined ears popping out wide like an umbrella. He lifted himself up and took half his body out of the tub to get closer.
His front body dangled out as he used his arms to keep himself up. He was always a curious mermaid. He couldn’t help himself really.
-> Pavo coos and holds his hand out to Dom, smiling at him as his pretty tail feathers wag with delight. "My my! Aren't you quite big too! Such a pretty face as well..."
Dom felt all shy and awkward. He used his arms like legs and put one after the other to get closer. He hesitantly but surely laid his head in the singer’s hand, rubbing his scaly cheek ok it like a cat.
"Look at you! Such a cutie patootie, aren't you, sweetheart?" -> He giggles and gently cups the merdemon's cheek, carefully rubbing his finger against it. "Such a pretty creature you are too..."
He sniffed the other’s hand, seeming to be interested in his talons. The only avian demons he knows is his uncle Illumina. He’s never seen a peacock before.
He brought one hand up to grab Pavo’s and examined it. They looked smaller than his uncles. Pavo was extremely smaller. He didn’t mind though. He started to become interested in his feathers, starring at them.
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…

And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.

The only thing that could really show what Dom was feeling at the moment was his tail wagging.
"Oh-!" "Gentle with him, Pavo. Give the man some room to breathe." -> Pavo giggles a little and steps back, crossing his arms over his chest, his long peacock feathers wagging a little. "My apologizes, sweetheart. I guess I can be quite forward!"
Sweetheart!? That made him curl in on himself, tail wagging faster. He’s never felt so giddy before.
He lifted his head out of the water to look back at Pavo again. A bright pink still painting his cheeks. He was kinda upset the peacock back up.
He lifted himself up more to be closer, not wanting the other to leave.
"How about I leave you two be, hm? I sense a little something in the air... Pavo, are any of your little helpers around? I wanted to speak with them about something?" "They are, sea star." -> Seafoam nods and gets up, walking out of the bathroom to go find one of Pavo's servants.
Dom got a little nervous when Seafoam left. He doesn’t know what he is feeling and didn’t exactly want to be left alone with the person causing these feelings. Are they good? Bad? Maybe that’s why Seafoam left because they were good emotions. Yeah, he will go with that.
He didn’t know what to do. He can’t speak, write or walk. Part of him wishes he could now. So he just stared back with a shine in his eye…
-> Pavo goes over to the toilet and sits down, crossing one leg over the other with a gentle smile on his face. His pretty blue wings stretched out before holding back in on themselves. "Well now... I can finally be alone with a cutie! Seafoam's very cute himself... But I don't think my ex would want to see me acting all cutesy towards someone else..." -> Ex?
Dom flushed pink and sunk a little into the bath. The mer was very shy but his fins seemed to show he was happy with their wiggles.
Why did the word ex make him feel a little sad? He didn’t understand but he wanted to understand. So he listened.
"Oh look at you! You're so cute!" -> He leans towards the tub and wiggles his talons at Dom, cooing at him in attempts to lure him out. "I won't hurt you, sweetheart. Seafoam wouldn't trust me alone with you if he knew I was a danger."
Dom was attracted to the noises, fined ears popping out wide like an umbrella. He lifted himself up and took half his body out of the tub to get closer.
His front body dangled out as he used his arms to keep himself up. He was always a curious mermaid. He couldn’t help himself really.
-> Pavo coos and holds his hand out to Dom, smiling at him as his pretty tail feathers wag with delight. "My my! Aren't you quite big too! Such a pretty face as well..."
Dom felt all shy and awkward. He used his arms like legs and put one after the other to get closer. He hesitantly but surely laid his head in the singer’s hand, rubbing his scaly cheek ok it like a cat.
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
"How are you two doing in here?"
-> Pavo came into the bathroom and just like Seafoam guessed, the avian demon had changed into his usual right body suit, arms exposed with thigh high boots and some sort of little jacket on, shoulders exposed as the jacket hung down a little. He had all sorts of shiny jewelry pieces on... Oh god was he pretty.
"We're fine! Dom was just playing with one of the shampoo bottles... I uh- I don't know if it's safe for his skin and hair, y'know?"
Dom continued to pout till he looked up at Pavo. His upset expression formed into a mesmerized one. He’s never seen a demon so pretty before….
His tail began to wag, causing water to splash onto the floor…
"I uh... I don't believe you two have ever met before! But I wouldn't be shocked if Dom has heard about you, Pavo. You are quite famous." "Dom, this is Pavane or "Pavo" for short. He's a famous singer and performer from the Island of Storms. He's even performed for your auntie before." -> The expression on Pavo's visor switches briefly to a couple question marks, his head tilting towards Seafoam. "And Pavo, this is Dom. He's one of Queen Windforce's nephews! One of the grandsons of Firebrand himself... The man who runs that massive gladiator arena!"
Dom tilts his head when the visor changed. He was curious…how did it work!? The mer was fascinated…
His fined ears wiggled, eye lit up like a Christmas light…he looked absolutely adorable!
"I see Dom's already taken interest in you, Pavo..." -> He snickers a little and reaches over, patting Dom on the head with a smile on his face. "I'm not shocked, sea star. A lot of demons are interested in me in one way or another!" -> He chirps and takes off his visor. Oh! He had eyes underneath that thing! They were a nice dark blue like his wings and horns.
Dom ignored Seafoam’s pats and continued to stare. He doesn’t know demon culture or how things worked much on the surface. Although Pavo was the biggest thing that caught his attention.
He didn’t know why- he didn’t even know what he was feeling. If the mer could make any noises he would be chirping and shrilling with delight!
"I will have to admit, sea star. Your little friend is very cute!" -> Pavo stepped closer and gently tapped the merdemon's nose, smiling and cooing at him. "Everyone in his family would say that too! You should hear how much his big brother talks about him."
Dom froze when his nose was tapped. His tail began making big splashes in the water as his face turned a bright pink.
The pretty bird called him cute! His heart was racing! Oh no- is this what his brother said was…love?
"Oh! Look at that sweet little face of his, sea star!" -> Seafoam giggles a little and crosses his arms over his chest, his lotl tail swishing idly behind him. "I think it's because you're so pretty, Pavo. Anyone would be blushing around you!"
Dom mentally squeaked and bruised his face into the water. His face was hit and his mind was mush. He didn’t know what was happening!

Dom froze when his nose was tapped. His tail began making big splashes in the water as his face turned a bright pink.
The pretty bird called him cute! His heart was racing! Oh no- is this what his brother said was…love?
"Oh! Look at that sweet little face of his, sea star!" -> Seafoam giggles a little and crosses his arms over his chest, his lotl tail swishing idly behind him. "I think it's because you're so pretty, Pavo. Anyone would be blushing around you!"
Dom mentally squeaked and bruised his face into the water. His face was hit and his mind was mush. He didn’t know what was happening!
The only thing that could really show what Dom was feeling at the moment was his tail wagging.
"Oh-!" "Gentle with him, Pavo. Give the man some room to breathe." -> Pavo giggles a little and steps back, crossing his arms over his chest, his long peacock feathers wagging a little. "My apologizes, sweetheart. I guess I can be quite forward!"
Sweetheart!? That made him curl in on himself, tail wagging faster. He’s never felt so giddy before.
He lifted his head out of the water to look back at Pavo again. A bright pink still painting his cheeks. He was kinda upset the peacock back up.
He lifted himself up more to be closer, not wanting the other to leave.
"How about I leave you two be, hm? I sense a little something in the air... Pavo, are any of your little helpers around? I wanted to speak with them about something?" "They are, sea star." -> Seafoam nods and gets up, walking out of the bathroom to go find one of Pavo's servants.
Dom got a little nervous when Seafoam left. He doesn’t know what he is feeling and didn’t exactly want to be left alone with the person causing these feelings. Are they good? Bad? Maybe that’s why Seafoam left because they were good emotions. Yeah, he will go with that.
He didn’t know what to do. He can’t speak, write or walk. Part of him wishes he could now. So he just stared back with a shine in his eye…
-> Pavo goes over to the toilet and sits down, crossing one leg over the other with a gentle smile on his face. His pretty blue wings stretched out before holding back in on themselves. "Well now... I can finally be alone with a cutie! Seafoam's very cute himself... But I don't think my ex would want to see me acting all cutesy towards someone else..." -> Ex?
Dom flushed pink and sunk a little into the bath. The mer was very shy but his fins seemed to show he was happy with their wiggles.
Why did the word ex make him feel a little sad? He didn’t understand but he wanted to understand. So he listened.
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
"How are you two doing in here?"
-> Pavo came into the bathroom and just like Seafoam guessed, the avian demon had changed into his usual right body suit, arms exposed with thigh high boots and some sort of little jacket on, shoulders exposed as the jacket hung down a little. He had all sorts of shiny jewelry pieces on... Oh god was he pretty.
"We're fine! Dom was just playing with one of the shampoo bottles... I uh- I don't know if it's safe for his skin and hair, y'know?"
Dom continued to pout till he looked up at Pavo. His upset expression formed into a mesmerized one. He’s never seen a demon so pretty before….
His tail began to wag, causing water to splash onto the floor…
"I uh... I don't believe you two have ever met before! But I wouldn't be shocked if Dom has heard about you, Pavo. You are quite famous." "Dom, this is Pavane or "Pavo" for short. He's a famous singer and performer from the Island of Storms. He's even performed for your auntie before." -> The expression on Pavo's visor switches briefly to a couple question marks, his head tilting towards Seafoam. "And Pavo, this is Dom. He's one of Queen Windforce's nephews! One of the grandsons of Firebrand himself... The man who runs that massive gladiator arena!"
Dom tilts his head when the visor changed. He was curious…how did it work!? The mer was fascinated…
His fined ears wiggled, eye lit up like a Christmas light…he looked absolutely adorable!
"I see Dom's already taken interest in you, Pavo..." -> He snickers a little and reaches over, patting Dom on the head with a smile on his face. "I'm not shocked, sea star. A lot of demons are interested in me in one way or another!" -> He chirps and takes off his visor. Oh! He had eyes underneath that thing! They were a nice dark blue like his wings and horns.
Dom ignored Seafoam’s pats and continued to stare. He doesn’t know demon culture or how things worked much on the surface. Although Pavo was the biggest thing that caught his attention.
He didn’t know why- he didn’t even know what he was feeling. If the mer could make any noises he would be chirping and shrilling with delight!
"I will have to admit, sea star. Your little friend is very cute!" -> Pavo stepped closer and gently tapped the merdemon's nose, smiling and cooing at him. "Everyone in his family would say that too! You should hear how much his big brother talks about him."

He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
"How are you two doing in here?"
-> Pavo came into the bathroom and just like Seafoam guessed, the avian demon had changed into his usual right body suit, arms exposed with thigh high boots and some sort of little jacket on, shoulders exposed as the jacket hung down a little. He had all sorts of shiny jewelry pieces on... Oh god was he pretty.
"We're fine! Dom was just playing with one of the shampoo bottles... I uh- I don't know if it's safe for his skin and hair, y'know?"
Dom continued to pout till he looked up at Pavo. His upset expression formed into a mesmerized one. He’s never seen a demon so pretty before….
His tail began to wag, causing water to splash onto the floor…
"I uh... I don't believe you two have ever met before! But I wouldn't be shocked if Dom has heard about you, Pavo. You are quite famous." "Dom, this is Pavane or "Pavo" for short. He's a famous singer and performer from the Island of Storms. He's even performed for your auntie before." -> The expression on Pavo's visor switches briefly to a couple question marks, his head tilting towards Seafoam. "And Pavo, this is Dom. He's one of Queen Windforce's nephews! One of the grandsons of Firebrand himself... The man who runs that massive gladiator arena!"
Dom tilts his head when the visor changed. He was curious…how did it work!? The mer was fascinated…
His fined ears wiggled, eye lit up like a Christmas light…he looked absolutely adorable!
"I see Dom's already taken interest in you, Pavo..." -> He snickers a little and reaches over, patting Dom on the head with a smile on his face. "I'm not shocked, sea star. A lot of demons are interested in me in one way or another!" -> He chirps and takes off his visor. Oh! He had eyes underneath that thing! They were a nice dark blue like his wings and horns.
Dom ignored Seafoam’s pats and continued to stare. He doesn’t know demon culture or how things worked much on the surface. Although Pavo was the biggest thing that caught his attention.
He didn’t know why- he didn’t even know what he was feeling. If the mer could make any noises he would be chirping and shrilling with delight!
"I will have to admit, sea star. Your little friend is very cute!" -> Pavo stepped closer and gently tapped the merdemon's nose, smiling and cooing at him. "Everyone in his family would say that too! You should hear how much his big brother talks about him."
Dom froze when his nose was tapped. His tail began making big splashes in the water as his face turned a bright pink.
The pretty bird called him cute! His heart was racing! Oh no- is this what his brother said was…love?
"Oh! Look at that sweet little face of his, sea star!" -> Seafoam giggles a little and crosses his arms over his chest, his lotl tail swishing idly behind him. "I think it's because you're so pretty, Pavo. Anyone would be blushing around you!"
Dom mentally squeaked and bruised his face into the water. His face was hit and his mind was mush. He didn’t know what was happening!
The only thing that could really show what Dom was feeling at the moment was his tail wagging.
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…

A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
"How are you two doing in here?"
-> Pavo came into the bathroom and just like Seafoam guessed, the avian demon had changed into his usual right body suit, arms exposed with thigh high boots and some sort of little jacket on, shoulders exposed as the jacket hung down a little. He had all sorts of shiny jewelry pieces on... Oh god was he pretty.
"We're fine! Dom was just playing with one of the shampoo bottles... I uh- I don't know if it's safe for his skin and hair, y'know?"
Dom continued to pout till he looked up at Pavo. His upset expression formed into a mesmerized one. He’s never seen a demon so pretty before….
His tail began to wag, causing water to splash onto the floor…
"I uh... I don't believe you two have ever met before! But I wouldn't be shocked if Dom has heard about you, Pavo. You are quite famous." "Dom, this is Pavane or "Pavo" for short. He's a famous singer and performer from the Island of Storms. He's even performed for your auntie before." -> The expression on Pavo's visor switches briefly to a couple question marks, his head tilting towards Seafoam. "And Pavo, this is Dom. He's one of Queen Windforce's nephews! One of the grandsons of Firebrand himself... The man who runs that massive gladiator arena!"
Dom tilts his head when the visor changed. He was curious…how did it work!? The mer was fascinated…
His fined ears wiggled, eye lit up like a Christmas light…he looked absolutely adorable!
"I see Dom's already taken interest in you, Pavo..." -> He snickers a little and reaches over, patting Dom on the head with a smile on his face. "I'm not shocked, sea star. A lot of demons are interested in me in one way or another!" -> He chirps and takes off his visor. Oh! He had eyes underneath that thing! They were a nice dark blue like his wings and horns.
Dom ignored Seafoam’s pats and continued to stare. He doesn’t know demon culture or how things worked much on the surface. Although Pavo was the biggest thing that caught his attention.
He didn’t know why- he didn’t even know what he was feeling. If the mer could make any noises he would be chirping and shrilling with delight!
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it.

Dom’s fined ears wiggle in curiosity. He always was a very curious Mer. It got him into trouble sometimes.
He decided to lift himself up with his arms and throw himself forward to get closer faster. He landed on his stomach, causing the sand to stick all over his wet body.
He looked up about to greet the other Mer before getting distracted by something in the corner of his eye.
A shell! Oh he loved shells! He grabbed it and rolled over on his back to put it in the air to examine it.
"Hey Dom! Whatcha got there?" -> He goes over and squats down, folding his arms over his knees and tilting his head to the side slightly, tail swishing against the sand idly. "Pretty seashell! Bet I got somethin' even prettier tho..."
Dom perked up, immediately throwing the other shell away and getting up to properly look at the Captain.
It was like there was stars in his eye, bursting with the most rattling curiosity!
-> Seafoam smiles brightly and sits down, pulling out a little pouch from his pocket and undoing the rope that kept it close, he rummaged around before pulling out a shiny piece of pink sea glass. "I found this while traveling... Pink sea glass is kinda rare if you ask me! And I think pink's one of the prettiest colors." -> He holds the sea glass up to the light, chuckling. "It kinda looks like your color!"
Dom adjusted himself where he was sitting. He stared up at the glass with awe, his hands clapping together in happiness. His fined ears wiggled with delight!
Although…now that he brought his arms up and his body was straight there was something concerning…
Dom had marks along his wrists and neck..it wasn’t cuts though, more like…rope marks…
-> Seafoam took notice of the rope marks and decided to push his questions down, not wanting to possibly make the other uncomfortable. He's only really talked to Valk, he should let Dom's brother handle that. "You want it?" -> He holds out the piece of sea glass to Dom and smiles at him, his tail wagging a little. "It matches you!"
Dom immediately snatches it from the captain’s hands, grasping it tightly. He thrills in excitement, fins opening and closing rapidly.
He holds it close observing it.
-> Seafoam chuckles a little and watches the other merdemon, feeling weirdly at home with Dom despite not really knowing the grandson of one of the Inpherno's strongest deities. -> He glanced up and watched the sky slowly start to darken. He frowned. He knew someone would be mad if he wasn't home soon, but he couldn't leave Dom here alone. "Hey... You wanna come with me, Dom? I'm sure your big brother wouldn't mind if I took ya on an adventure!"
Dom gasped, looking back at Seafoam before nodding erratically! He was excited! Time away from everything and an adventure to go on!
"Awesome!" -> He smiles brightly, his cute little tooth gap showing as he stood up and dusted sand off his pants. "I know Valk picks ya up and stuff but uh... Would you be okay with me doing that too? It's uh... The only way I can move you!"
Dom nodded, excited to see what the day gives! He could feel his heart racing rapidly. Maybe he will get to see Aunt Wind! He doesn’t know but he trusts the other with his safety!
"Up we go then!" -> He goes over and leans down, scooping up the merdemon with some considerable effort. He didn't have the same demigod strength that Valk did, but that didn't mean he wasn't strong! "Welcome to the Island of Storms! I've got a good friend who can let you stay with us while you're here."
Dom’s tail was still wet a little, causing the sand to stick to it. He clung to the Captain’s jacket, claws digging in and he chirped.
"Onwards then!" -> He turns and adjusts his hold on Dom, trying to keep the mermaid close to his body so he didn't end up accidentally dropping the poor guy. -> The Island of Storms was a beautiful place. Full of life and noise and color. Tall trees, bright flowers and all sorts of demons moving about the island. Traders and venders, craftsman and children running around outside playing to their little hearts' content! -> Many of the demons the two passed by greeted the pirate prince warmly, offering Seafoam little things here and there as he made his way towards an absolutely LAVISH looking estate. A lavish estate that was decorated in whites and blues and greens, exotic flowers and massive darkly colored gate surrounded it. Someone INCREDIBLY rich must live here... -> A man, most likely a servant, moved down to the gates and opened them up, letting Seafoam and Dom enter the estate's grounds. Who lived here...?
Dom got a little scared of every demon they walked past or talked to them. He was still very much scared of them.
Dom doesn’t have as much courage as his body size. He was always a big mer. Bigger than usual ones.
He was in awe of all the colors and how fancy the place was. It wasn’t his Grandfather’s palace but it was still exciting!
"Surely Pavo's home!" -> Pavo? Who was Pavo? Well that answer was going to be swiftly given to the mer when Seafoam, although with a little struggle, knocked on the door and someone answered it. -> A darker skinned male demon opened the door, his dreads were pulled back into a high ponytail and he had some sort of device over his eyes that displayed digital ones! Clearly he was in a more dressed down state, having some sort of blue and green sleeping robe wrapped around his body that hung off his shoulders, his long and pretty peacock tail feathers sticking out from underneath. He looked very round and plush too... "Seafoam! Thank the gods I didn't have to come out and search for you! And it seems you've brought a friend..."
The mer started to freak out, pulling back and falling to the ground, grabbing the other down with him.
He didn’t like this. He didn’t like evening on land where he was most vulnerable with people he didn’t know. Valk and Seafoam were an exception but he couldn’t help himself from freaking out because of what happened recently.
-> Seafoam yelped and came down with the other mer, holding onto Dom and pulling him close. He's known Dom to be a little skittish with land dwelling demons, but why was he freaking out so much? "Dom- Hey- Pavo's nice! I know he looks kinda scary with being rich and all but he's always been nice to me! And we're the same species of demon!" -> He smiles, trying to reassure the other mer while Pavo simply watched in stuck and awe at the display in front of him.
The mer flailed his fins, hissing without sound. He clung to Seafoam like his life depended on it. He felt like his life depended on it. He has had trouble trusting demons since the incident.
He looked the demon up and down before relaxing a little.
Pretty bird…
"Hey- Hey- It's okay, Dom. Pavo won't hurt us. I think he'd rather get hurt himself before hurting others!" -> The avian demon chirped softly and moved out of the doorway, gesturing vaguely with his arm. "You didn't tell me you were bringing a friend, sea star." "This uh... Wasn't planned! But Dom's real nice. So you don't gotta worry about him, yeah? We just need a place to put him in some water..."
Dom let out a huff through his nose, skeptical. He will tear into those feathers if the avian tried something funny.
He did feel dry. The sand on his skin didn’t feel nice, made him itchy and irritated.
"Come on... Let's get you inside. You're all sandy!"
-> Seafoam gets up and dusts himself off before reaching down and scooping up Dom once again, holding the merdemon close and walking inside.
"Can I just take him to the bathroom?"
"You can, sea star. I'll come in in a moment to set up the bath for him!"
"No need. I can do it. Thank you tho, Pavo."
Dom kept his grip tight onto Seafoam. He looked around a bit, he couldn’t help but be curious. He was born that way.
-> The pirate prince made his way towards the singer's bathroom and used his tail, although awkwardly, to open up the door.
-> Much like the rest of the estate, the bathroom was also lavish and very decorated! And it looked like Pavo even had a nice big bathtub too!
"Sorry to bathtub you, Dom... Maybe I can see if Pavo can get something we can fill with water and move ya around in!"
-> He goes over and carefully sets the merdemon into the bathtub, taking off his jacket and discarding it onto the toilet before fiddling with the bathtub handles and watching the warm water slowly fill up the tub.
Dom started to splash the shallow water playfully, splashing it everywhere. He looked around and saw the decorations. He saw a shampoo bottle and picked it up, curious of what it was.
He’s seen bottles before but never plastic ones. They were always glass and some had little pieces of paper inside!
He started to experimentally nibble at it, thinking hid he opened it there would be something interesting inside!
"Hey uh- We should probably ask Pavo first before we use that, Dom... Shampoo's not really a good thing to eat either!"
-> He smiles a little and takes the shampoo bottle from Dom, patting him on the head.
"Dunno how your skin will react with... Pavo should be dropping in soon tho! He's probably getting dressed."
Dom pouted, he would chirp in disappointment if he could. He wanted to see what was inside the bottle! He splashed the water in frustration before laying down, letting the water cover some of his body.
He was a very big mer! So his tail would stick out of any tub unless it was a pool. He could never fully go under the water.
The Mer was a little far from home one must say. He basically swam all the way to a different island in one day.
Although he was tried of being locked up by his uncle and brother. He loved them don’t get him wrong…he just needed some time away.
He came to the shores, not entirely coming out of the water. He was honestly scared to after what happened last time…
He needed warmth. He craved for it…so he crawled himself onto the sand.
@mer-idol
-> A figure could be seen further up along the shoreline, dressed in a familiar set of seafoam green and darker hued clothing, quad horns and an eyepatch over one of his eyes. -> Huh... Wasn't that Valk's little pirate friend? What was his name again, Seafoam or something?
The Mer shrilled in caution. He doesn’t know the other Mer well…he wished he did. Although he was a shy little thing .
He looked around, seeing if there were any other demons around before crawling up more, tail dragging behind him.
Such a hindrance! It was heavy! How to stupid demons do this? He feels like a fish out of water…
Well- he is.
-> Seafoam's tail twitched, the slight sound of the other mer dragging himself onto the land made him look over, eye narrowing in worry. He's never interacted with the other mer, but he knew that was his friend's little brother. -> But why was Dom all the way out here? Had something happened? Did Valk need him? He didn't really want another stressor on his back, but he was worried now. -> He got up and started to head towards the struggling mer.
