He didn't know what he'd been expecting, but it wasn't that. The seaweed was ignored entirely as he stared, trying to come to terms with what was in front of him. Not quite a mermaid, not a maid of any kind, and nothing like the tales. Even those had been fantastical nonsense but here, in front of him, was something real and wholly unlike anything he'd ever known.

"What...are you?" And those blue eyes lifted to rest on Tucker's.
