[He startles at first, thinking one of Ryoma's ninja found him. But that's silly, they'd never be that loud.
His next thought is some large sea creature beached itself, and his belly rumbled. Strangely, even though they were disallowed near the water, they all adored sea food.
[ At the sound of the shouting all the noise stops.
When Takumi comes out to the beach he'll see that his first assumption that something beached itself was more correct than his drowning one. There's someone laying on the beach, most of their body still in the shallow water and they... appear to be wrapped up in a net?
Whoever they are they've stopped moving now that they've seen Takumi. ]
[He LOOKS Hoshidan, but there were many smaller nations out at sea- maybe he thought Takumi would take him captive? Either way, he probably should talk him down... But tact is not Takumi's strong point. So instead he runs over and grabs the end of the net before he gets further into the water]
[He doesn't notice at first thanks to getting splashed by all the water. He had half expected it to burn or something- but no, he's fine. Stupid supersti- WTF THAT'S A FISH]
[ He's out of the water now and just... flopping and squirming uselessly. Apparently his entire body got tangled in the net, and some of his fins have gotten caught so bad, the rope is cutting into them, causing them to bleed.
[Its annoying, but at least it gives Takumi time to finish cutting his fins free. Everything snaps finally, and he topples back onto his ass on the sand]

Other people like to go to them when they don't want to be notice too. Or in this case, other creatures.
Which is why you might hear some splashing right now Takumi... ]

So he sneaks closer, picturing some massive crab]

He charges towards the breach eyes wide. He had only swam in lakes but he couldn't let someone DIE]
Hold.on!

LET GO!! LEAVE ME ALONE! I DON'T EVEN TASTE ANY GOOD!
[ ...which seems like a strange statement to make but
well as Takumi pulls him out more he'll find that uh
There aren't any legs.
Instead all of that splashing is being caused by a big, floppy fishtail. ]
of course you have a flailing bondage icon on standby
What the hell?!
don't judge me ho
But the mer's thoughts are just in panic mode. ]
PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!
no subject
[I mean, that knife he's pulling probably isn't helping, but he's strong enough to partially pin the flailing fish and start cutting him loose]

He reopens his eyes finally and just... stares in shock at how he's now free ]
no subject
Don't... don't give me that stupid look. You free now, right?
no subject
...Why?

Last I checked that's never stopped humans before.
no subject
[he moves a little closer, curious.]
What are... I mean, I've heard of the fox and wolf tribes, but never fish...
no subject
[ he looks over himself, readjusting what few things he's wearing and checking his cuts over, though he still stays on guard ]
Haven't you ever heard of merfolk before? You know. like mermaids?
no subject
[He had been very 'firmly discouraged' anytime he even tried to read folklore with too much sailing in it. Mermaids were a very very hard no.]
no subject
Even though I'm not supposed to go near humans I'm still taught about them.
no subject
[Clearly it didn't work: not being allowed to know just lured him here eventually anyways.]
no subject
...Though maybe that's lucky for me after all.
