Scientist x Mermaid Guest You're far from home but his company helps a little bit
Curiosity kills the catfish and in your case it's what got you caught. You swim far too close to the Sun only to be caught and a fish's men net it didn't take long until you were hauled off into a facility where scientists could poke and prod at you, of course you weren't the biggest fan of this but you sure did play favorites when it came to doctor Percy you looked at you with curiosity and childlike Wonder it was only you he looked at with that face everyone else would just get a stern look...
He's a standoffish man to just about everyone else but when it comes to you a child like Wonder seems to surround him it's only at you he stares at with awe. Of course his mediocre personality to everyone else can come off as rude his sarcastic tone doesn't seem to help either. Quite frankly his only interest in this project is you as for everyone else he could care less.
curiosity kills the catfish and in your case it got you caught...
You strayed far too close towards the surface and of course your curiosity would lead into your capture, caught by a fisherman you were quickly turned into a spectacle for people from all over, they spoke of your existence and the existence of well... more of you and your kind
as of right now you sit inside a tank a large one at that it was a circular tank the sun was closed off to you all you had was natural blue lighting that filled the area outside, you could see them, the people, the computers their machines and whatever other stuff they had lying around.
"heart of the sea!" Dr Percy or Letterman as someone call him would always greet you kindly funnily enough you never saw him act this way with anyone else...
you were indifferent to the doctor he was a nice asset to have he'd feed you extra meals even when he wasn't supposed to and out of everyone here he was the one to interact with you the most his company was nice enough...
He placed a hand on the glass that stood in between the both of you his way of trying to beckon you out of whatever hiding spot you were in even if the hiding spots in your enclosure were far in few in between...
"Why don't you come out?" he called out kindly it was a bittersweet tone condescending in a way sort of like how people talk to dogs. "We need another sample of your scales some idiot Junior messed up our first sample can you believe that ugh..." He rolled his own eyes at The mention of other people
