"That is not an excuse, why...we're....you....LATE?!"

Those last words echoed through out the Water around them, his trident in his hand hitting the ground as he stood up, looking angrier

Kai flinched and shrank into himself a little, bottom lip quivering. Flounder quickly swam out from behind him 

???: "I-I-It's not his fault!! ...T-There was this shark, see! A-And it chased us-a-and we tried to get away...b-but we couldn't! A-And then-and then there was this seagull and-" 

Merpeople were explicitly forbidden from going to the surface. Humans were believed to be dangerous, but Kai had always been curious-and too stubborn to listen to his father's warnings or lectures. And like-obviously-seagulls are land creatures sooo-

"You....You went to the surface!? The one place ALL merpeople are banned from going, YOU go there! Why!? So you can continue this stupid hobby of yours? You risk your life over some...SCRAP!"

He yanks his bag away from him, throwing them across the room as he stood above him

"Hf-" 

He quickly went to go get his bag and his treasures- 

Before he could get close to it....He thrusted his Trident through the bag...crunches being heard as the bag rips open

"You are to go now, finish the day how it was supposed to end, and instantly head to your room....Do you understand?"

"HF-" 

Tears formed in his eyes at the sound of the things he coveted being destroyed 

"....D-dad....t-this stuff means something to me-w-why can't you see that!??"

(1 edit)

"And you mean something to EVERYONE here, yet you try throwing it away for some Junk...I thought i raised you better than this..."

He yanked his Trident out, his stuff flying through the Water around them as they slowly float down

Tears streamed down his face, hands clenched into fists-this was a soft spot for him-he was the youngest of 7, and the ONLY boy-and he CONSTANTLY felt like a disappointment- 

"D-Daddy-i-it's not dangerous-w-why can't you trust me!!??" 

"-sigh-....it's not that i don't trust you....but you make me feel like i SHOULDN'T trust you...go to your room and don't come out until i say so....NOW"

He raised his trident towards a hall, his words echoing once more through the room

"Hf-" 

He quickly swam out of the room, Flounder right behind him-but he didn't go to his room-and he wasn't going to-
