Kaiden's eyes widened and with a thrash of their tail, the mer tried to back away before they were surely eaten. Yet as the whale swallowed them, they didn't feel pain. There was an odd sense of connection, of belonging and acceptance. Of Family. The mer relaxed, content to simply breath in the new sensation as their worldview shifted. Why had they been so against the void before now? It was kind and the odd presence that emerged only brought a smile to their face as they waved at the darkness.
The mer reached out and held onto one of the whale's immense ribs, letting the presence pass them by as they spoke to the leviathan. "Thank you. I like you too." Kaiden held on as the majestic whale went about its day, content to simply bask in the certainty of their own safety, even taking a nap for a bit. Eventually however, their stomach began to growl and the mershark reluctantly parted from their new Friend with a gentle pat on the rib.
