When I woke up next I was in a different tank than the one they had put me in before, as I had noticed the lack of depth to the water the moment I sat up and stretched. It was only enough water to submerge me if I was parallel to the sandy floor, but I supposed that was enough. As it was I had actually breeched the surface when I stretched and I looked around thoroughly confused. I felt more refreshed than I had in a long time, but why was in this tank instead of the other? My tail fin wasn't as sore as it was before and it had somehow been wrapped up again. I growled and tore the strips off my tail again and looked around. I was right this tank had less water in it and it was smaller. It had nothing of interest in it and was only a few tails deep. It was wide however offering lots of swimming space. I wonder if I can still swim though. I flicked my tail experimentally pleased to feel that the pain had subsided enough for me to swim. I did a few laps around the tank and was even more pleased to find that I could swim around twice before needing to rest. I thrummed happily at finally being able to recover. I heard something click behind me and I spun around quickly growling and flaring my fins. I didn't know who was coming, what they were going to do, or where they were going to take me but I didn't like it. It just so happened to be that girl again and the man who had fed me. I suddenly realized I was hungry again once I smelled the giant shell of fish in his claws. I gurgled and snapped my jaws a bit eager to be able to eat again. The man smiled and threw a fish my way I snapped it out of the air swallowing it whole and the girl gurgled happily. She stepped into my tank walking my way and while rattling my fins defensively I didn't mind too much that she was encroaching a territory that was obviously mine as well as the other tank. She was grumbling calmly though and when she finally reached me she patted my head. I trilled at the contact and her grumble again. I tilted my head and warbled. Can I have more fish now? I heard the man gargle and threw another fish my way I snapped it out of the air swimming around the girl chirping happily. While they conversed in their own tongue they feed me salmon throwing them into the air or letting me snap them from their fingers and I contently swam around them snapping them up and singing around them. I serenaded them with the tales of the ocean and old tales of adventure that many mermaids had sang and I did my best to imitate and remember the words in the language. It was a bit difficult and my voice was raspy but I still sung for them, well mostly for the woman. I sung because I wanted them no needed for them to understand I wanted to reach the level she thought I was at. I could at least show her that much as an appreciation for feeding me. Even though I had never sung in the mers tongue before this day I felt it necessary to sing to her. Just to let her know.
