One week has passed since you decided to house this strange creature you found, aside from everything about him it's going pretty well.
That aside it is nice to have a fast way to dispose of corpses, with how well humans have gotten at solving murders toy find yourself moving from place to place very quickly, maybe this is the solution you've been looking for, at least for awhile.
You decide that today is the day you will attempt to have a calm convorsation with the creature, and maybe find out more about it and its origins, after all you've had him here for a week, and you are not sure how long this creature lives so it's better to do this sooner.
Approaching the door to the creatures room you feel almost hopeful for the interaction, though that feeling quickly fades soon being greeted with a scowl and harsh tones.
"what do you want"
Taking a moment you think about how you are going to go about this before carefully responding.
"you've been here for what? A week? I figured it'th about time we actully thpoke"
That sounded not threatening right?
"well I think you need to realise that I have no interest in speakin to you, bein near you, or lookin at you.
So how about you turn around, shut the door, and fuck right off"
Okay you are going to haft to force it, that's fine you're capable.
"My name i'th thollux Captor"
The creature's expression changes from angry to confused in a fraction of a second.
"If we are going to be thtaying together we need to know names, unleth you prefer I continue to call you "it"."
The creature freezes and looks as if it's in deep thought before looking at you with a mixture if annoyance and defeat.
"Eridan. Eridan Ampora"
You think about making a snarky comment about how dumb of a name that is, but at this point you just need to celebrate this small victory.
After a few seconds of mental gloating you see if you can ride this convorsation further.
"Tho Eridan are you planning on thtaying in thith room forever, or are you going to infect the retht of my home with your prethenthe any time thoon?"
He let's out a sign and rolls his eyes, you're guessing he didnt find that very funny.
"No. The room is fine, I have zero desire to explore the contents of your hovel..."
"Thothe are thome fanthy wordth for thomebody who jutht crawled out of the ocean."
You poke at him with your words hopeing to get some sort of reaction out of him, though once again you are greeted with silence and a glare.
"okay but theriouthly you can leave the room if you want you don't haft to thit in here all day"
The creature gives you a look that translates to approval in your eyes so you move onto the main subject on your mind.
"Tho. I'm guething you have nowhere elthe to go."
The creature looks at you like you insulted its mother's grave and responds defensively.
"I will have you know I have plenty of places I could go if I so choose!"
Wow he seems very adamant about that, good thing you weren't born yesterday.
"No you don't if you did you would have left by now, trutht me I can tell by your clear love of me and my home"
The creature brakes eye contact with you, you assume out of embarrassment.
"Tho here'th the deal."
The creature looks back at you with confusion.
"You can thtay here for the retht of your short uneventful life. If you continue to dithpothe of the corptheth I rack up in the bathement."
You hold your hand out to the sea creature.
"I get eathy dithpothal of my garbage and you get a place to live, we both get what we want."
"Tho do we have a deal?"
The creature freezes for what you counted to be twenty seconds before reaching out to you and grabbing your wrist.
"deal"
This truly is amazing, He has no idea what a handshake is, he's just holding your wrist completely still with such a serious expression.
You proceed to actually laugh for the first time in god knows how long. The creature looks at you with confusion while you can only think to yourself.
You have a lot of work to do.
