Mermaid?: Poth

Goth's tail fin ^^

Goth's small mermaid fin flowed behind him as he swam around the net curiously. He started to turn until he felt a tug at his tail, his fin got tangled in the net. Palette who had set the net out in the first place saw the gentle tug on the net and looked down over the edge he can only see the thrashing and blurry silhouette. Palette starts pulling up the net, Goth's thrashing intensifies. Goth only manages to get himself more tangled in the net. The top of the net surfaces and Palette watches the previously silhouetted figure become more and more focused. His excitement can't be contained so Palette starts jumping and pulling up the net quicker.

"No!" Goth squeals still struggling.

When the net surfaces Palette gawks at the petite little mermaid hanging from the net. Palette pulls the net over the ship deck and gently pulls at the net trying to untangle Goth's fin which was almost knotted into it. After seeing the impossibility of untangling the net, Palette reluctantly cuts small pieces of the net until he can pull the mermaid free. He carries him easily to a small tank that was big enough for Goth to be comfortable. Once he lowers Goth into the tank he looks over the mermaid's appearance. His tail is a pale translucent red and you could see the bones running down his tail, his tail fin kept the same color and you could still see the bone but it had two main fins and above there were two smaller fins above them, he wore a white tank top, and a long red scarf that flowed behind him.

"H-Hello," Goth mumbles pulling his scarf over his mouth covering a light red blush.

"Hi, I'm Palette, your name is?"

"I-I'm Goth." he looks at anything but Palette.

"Pleasure to meet you!" Palette cheers.

Goth hums quietly and nods. Together they spent hours talking and only stopped when it was dark and the both of them were tired. Goth yawns and swims in a little circle.

"Tired?" Palette asks. Goth nods and curls up on the bottom of the tank. Palette stands up and stretches, "I guess I'll leave you for tonight."

Goth waves and watches Palette walk away into a small little room. The following morning the two talked again after Palette had set out the net. All the fish that got 'caught' were able to swim in and swim right back out of the hole Palette had cut for Goth. After the third day of barely anything caught while the two talked Goth asked,

"W-When can I go back?" Goth was referring to the ocean.

"I could put you back now, do you want me to?" Palette looked down.

Goth nods and swim to the top of the tank looking down at Palette and drips on him. Palette stands up and climbs onto a little platform, he picks up Goth from under his arms. The two stood near the edge, Goth gave Palette a quick on the cheek before diving back into the ocean. Palette looked over the edge at Goth who was waving up at him his face red with a blush. He waves back his face covered with a green and yellow blush. Goth giggles and dives under the water.

"I never thought I'd befriend a human." Goth mumbles.
