"Hf..."
She gets closer, looking at it wide eyed. She puts a hand on the painted cheek
It stays in that same position and just sat there. Like a Masterpiece would.
"Amazing..."
Her father enters the hideout
???: "So this is what you've been doing all this time."
Her mother grabbed her by the ear and started walking to her room.
"USELESS CHILD, USELESS TOY. USELESS!'
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Ow!!"
"Hf-"
Pearl's eyes go wide as she whirls around to face her dad
"D-dad I-"
???: "Harboring human items, going up to the surface...and now I discover that you rescued a human!?"
When they got to her room she threw her on the ground and looked at her.
"HOW DARE YOU CAUSE A SCENE LIKE THAT, YOU COULDV'E KILLED PEOPLE!"
"B-but dad she was dying I-I had to h-help-"
???: "DO YOU KNOW WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF SHE HAD SEEN YOU!?"
"M-Mom, no one d-died!"
"I-it wasn't like that, I-I-"
???: "I AM NEVER TO HEAR OF YOU GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THE HUMANS EVER AGAIN!!"
"BUT DAD I-I think I might...love her..."
"BUT THEY COULD'VE AND THE MERMAIDS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE DUKE IS NOT REAL! MERMAIDS ARENT REAL DELILAH!"
