Abe was getting itchy in his human skin. He could feel the sand between his toes, the warm ocean water lapping around his waist, and the urge to go full fishman felt like a natural jump that was being held back. Unfortunately, visiting a somewhat popular tourist spot was bad for fish transformation and more than that, he wanted to be human as long as he could around Sasha. What was she to him besides a friend was unclear at best, but he still wanted to impress her. He wasn't a fool, even someone who liked the dark and weird couldn't find his fishy form attractive. In fact, as a professional carnie, he didn't see it as anything except repulsive. Sasha had insisted that wasn't true, but he was still unwilling to show his gills unless he had to.
In his human form, it was much harder to read memories of places. Even more difficult when they were at a popular spot with memories stacked on top of each other. They became more of a collective momento. This rock is a pretty place to take a picture, or this winding path of sand is a romantic place to wander. A few things popped out to him, horrible anger or forbidden love in the blue ocean, but nothing that could help Sasha with her investigations. Not to mention, to very little surprise, he didn't sense anything familiar about the islands which mean the likelihood of being from the area was very slim.
It was turning out to be a normal vacation- which he wasn't completely complaining about.
He was slathered in suntan lotion, standing barefoot in board shorts next to the rocks, watching honeymooning couples tentatively dive into the water with huge flippers and snorkels. "Sasha!" He called and waved her over. "Look at these people. They probably have never been past the shallow end of the pool." He gestured towards one man who was struggling to swim in an area that was deeper than five feet. Abe shook his head and turned to Sasha. "Let's go explore." Abe glanced down at the crystal around his neck. He had maybe a few hours left before he'd be forced into transforming.
