It was really enchanting to see the creature float through the water. It's lithe thin frame cutting through it like a hot knife through butter. Scales shimmering with each shifting movement, playing with the light like crystals; homesickness, such a overcoming feeling that reared it's head surprisingly quickly, made him think of the dripping icicles hanging precariously off the tree branches come Winter time, when the sun came up and turned those simple sculptures into deadly, but beautiful melting time bombs. Perhaps that was somewhat a stretch to compare the two entirely separate entities, but he honestly missed his home already, where the people were less..hostile and judging in his opinion. 

  Brought back to the creature, he could imagine it-he, though he wasn't sure if the Mer had genders, would be marvelous to watch swimming through open waters. Though..what consequence might befall him if he let the Emperor's gift swim free? This was supposedly his latest aesthetic, and admittedly the creature was something to behold, but it had been given to him as a gift so rightfully the creature was his even if he didn't want to own and keep it captive. Still, it would be rude and he did have to get on the Emperor' goodside. His thoughts were interrupted by a raspy voice and he finally realized that the Mer had breached the surface of it's tank and was speaking to him.

  Stunned for a moment, he just sat blinking as the creature introduced its-himself, as far as Amanti knew, and begun to fire questions at him. Snapped out of his daze when-Ssindre started off into a panic. Hissing words leaving him too hurried and rushed for the Fae to follow. 

 Holding his hands up, palm facing forward, a universal sign of friendliness, he tried to calm the Mer, "Calm down, calm down. You'll tip yourself over at this rate. Calm, I don't intend to keep you here. My name is Amanti, prince of the Fae though currently we are in the empire of the Draconian Emperor, Yao Long. You need not give me anything and you are in no danger or here on your own fault. Please calm down and tell me how you came to be here? I was told you washed upon the shore and refused to speak since then?"

  "You are...If I may ask, what exactly are you? In my life I have never seen a creature like you before." He had to crane his neck upwards to look at the creature as he spoke. The tank and the creature atop of that dwarfing him. It was rather tiring on the neck actually and he would have creaks later if he continued to hold his head up in such an unnatural position, against the direction of his spine. The four poster bed was close by but didn't offer enough height either. And he was in no mood now to create a stair well unless one wanted a singed carpet. He figured he could put himself to some use still.

  "The water looks cold.." The creature may have been more fish like than he knew, so he may have been cold blooded. Gazing up at the creature to gauge his reaction, he pressed his palm against the glass and the water slowly warmed, "Is that alright? You..you know you look rather underfed as well, have they been feeding you properly?"he tried to ask as politely as he could observing the ribs he could see in his pale almost translucent skin.
