So You Saved a Mermaid...
Who: Charlene and Otter
When: Mid-afternoon
Where: The hospital
Otter hadn't slept so well. Every time his eyes closed he saw the face of the dead woman and even worse, he saw Lene's. Worse because she hadn't died right there but he still didn't know if she was actually okay. He'd only gone to bed because Liseli and Jacy had quite literally put him there and threatened unpleasantness if he didn't get some rest. Yet somehow, after waking up, he'd managed to not jump in his car and zoom off for the hospital right away. His plants needed tending to and it wouldn't be very fair to them if he just abandoned them because he was worried. They hadn't done anything wrong and after his text conversation with Piper he knew he wouldn't have time to do it that night.
It was well into the afternoon by the time Otter peeked his head into the room he'd been told the mermaid was in. Sitala had, surprisingly, not put up much of a fight when he had told her she either needed to go into his backpack so no one saw her or stay outside. Her feet were currently pressing against his spine in a way that wasn't quite comfortable. Stop moving, he thought at her, only to get a few mutterings that made him shake his head. "Hey," he called, stepping the rest of the way into the room and trying not to stare. She really was a mermaid! Gills on her neck, webbing on her hands and... wow, that was definitely a huge tail. Yet she was still the most beautiful thing Otter'd ever seen and his mouth gaped. "You look better... uhh... remember me?"
