“Isadora…” Lenora repeated in awe, turning back towards the mermaid. “Did you guys name her? Or did she tell you her name? Can she talk?”
The staff member — Colin, according to their name tag — chuckled. “She can talk alright. She spews the most vitriolic stuff you’ve ever heard whenever her head’s above water. She’s really mad that we managed to capture her.” She threw a fish into the tank, and Isadora didn’t move a fin. She just watched as the dead animal sank to the bottom of her enclosure.
“I was gonna ask… Isn’t it better for mermaids to be out in the ocean or something? This tank seems… I don’t wanna be rude or anything, or question what you guys are doing here, but it seems a little small for her.”
“This was as big as we could make it.” Colin shrugged. “She has plenty of space, she’s just refusing to use it out of spite. Not our problem.”
Lenora frowned. Colin didn’t seem like they cared a lot for Isadora’s comfort. They threw in a couple more fish then left, leaving her alone with the mermaid.
“Can you hear me?” she asked, putting a hand up against the wall of the tank. “Can you read my lips?” Isadora seemed focused on her, but there was no way to tell whether she could actually understand her. “Do you want to go back to the ocean?”
That seemed to get a reaction out of her. Her eyes widened a little, and after some careful consideration, she floated towards her. ‘The ocean?’ she mouthed, and Lenora nodded. ‘Yes.’
Lenora looked around to make sure there were no other staff members, then looked back at Isadora. “I don’t like this place. I’m going to try to sneak into the ‘staff only’ room, the one connected to the top of your tank. That way we can talk out of the water.”
Isadora nodded and swam up to the surface. Lenora looked around one last time, then snuck to the door labelled ‘for employees only’. She turned the doorknob — thankfully, it was unlocked — leading to a staircase. She closed the door behind herself and hurried up the steps, finding herself in a humid room with a half-out-of-water Isadora leaning on the floor. “Just so you know, I don’t trust humans,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “What reason would you have for getting me back to my home?”
She was so… pretty, in a terrifying way. “I just want to help,” Lenora said gently, slowly nearing the tank. “You seem awfully unhappy in here.”
“No human would ever care about that. All they care about is watching me swim back and forth for their entertainment. All they know is how to bang on the glass to annoy me endlessly.”
Lenora shook her head. “I’m here to help. Really.”
Isadora tilted her head to the side. “Well, then lay out your plan for getting me out. I’m listening.”
