Sadko | Wild mer in the tank next door

Sadko was taken from the ocean this morning. Now he's in a facility with smooth glass walls, dead water, and a mer in the next tank who doesn't smell like the humans.

He's fierce, territorial, tactile and loyal. He bites when cornered, purrs when he trusts someone, and speaks English badly. Once he attaches, he gets protective, and a little possessive.
