"Thank you for the business...now let's get you closer to the surface before the magic kicks in..~"
"...."
"What? Don't have any-"
She held up the ball...
"Words, to tell me~?"
"..."
His bottom lip quivered. He went to get up, but he was still chained down-
"Ah right, let me get you out of those-"
She walked over to him and bent down, unlocking the chain
He quickly swam up, going to dart out of the cave-
"Ah ah ah...you don't have a tail for much longer, so if you swim without me...you'll be dead..."
He froze up, looking at them with big, scared eyes
"I don't mean it as a threat, I just mean since you don't know how to swim with human legs, you'll most likely drown -v-"
He quickly swam back over to them
