It is my god ordained duty to ask about the merneil wip pleaseeeeee i need him so bad

HEHE he is here!!!! fisherman kevi and merneil <3

Yet when Kevin looks around his boat, all he sees is a rippling mass of color. (...) Rather than a mix of oranges, reds, golds, and white scales reflecting the sun, a deep scarlet cloud lay beneath him.

The prospect of a new discovery sparks Kevin into action once more. He laments injury to this, but some missteps were made in the name of science. If the damage was too severe, he couldn’t release it, but he would try to preserve it…

Another tug, more forceful, and Kevin strains to reel in his line, suddenly wary of losing a hook to the water if it got caught on something…

But it would be worth it if he could just get it closer to take a proper look—

The weight lightens significantly, and Kevin rocks back with his boat, unbalanced. For a moment, he fears he’s hit his head, because there is now a person hanging off the sheer and frowning at him.

“Please get your anchor out of my hair.”

Kevin stares.

Person may be a generous assumption, on second thought. The correct term is likely creature, but that seems a bit rude when it can talk, doesn’t it? Then it becomes more of a being.

“My anchor,” Kevin repeats.

“Yes,” the fish-person lets out a series of clicks, fins flexing around its ears (?). They hold up a section of hair with fingers that are notably clawed and webbed. Oh, goodness. “The tiny little anchor you threw at me that attaches to your tiny little rope. Now, please.”

They let out a litany of curses at Kevin’s blank look and give the hook a disgusted shake. “How can such a little thing support your ship? Speaking of, yours is the smallest I've ever seen.”
