A purr left the older mer as he watched the pup chasing around a fish, amusement and fondness on his features as he lazed over a rock. It was the green mer pup that he had come across the other day, what the little pup was doing by himself in his territory again he had no idea but the little pup looked rather upset. "Are you alright?" Chris asks softly, he knows that the pup knows he's there so it didn't surprise him when he got no response except an unhappy hiss as the fish swam away from the mer pup at the sound of his voice. "My fish!" Jamey hisses out unhappily as he trills upset-hungry-help-help at the mer, crossing his arms and looking away. Chris's instincts croon and the mer pushed himself off the rock, swimming over to the pup and gently guiding him to his fins before taking them over to the den. "I'll get you some food sweetheart."

Alex tilted his head as he watched his father fuss over the mer pup, the green one from the other day. "What are you doing back here?" He asks the mer pup who was getting fed crab meat, snuggling up in his father's hair. "I left my stupid pod." Jamey hisses as he holds onto his crab meat, chewing at the meat with his dull teeth. Chris let out a sad warble and broke up more pieces of crab meat for his pups. "Why? You seemed happy to see your pod." He says softly as he feeds some crab meat to Faz, who was tucked into his neck. "Because my father sucks! I don't want to be there anymore. I'll look after myself." Jamey decided as he ate his crab meat, letting out a pleased chirp at the taste. Chris adored Jamey, the mer pup was adorable and sweet. He got along well with the other pups and they seemed to love him. "You're too young to be looking after yourself." Chris says softly as he leans over and grabs an oyster, cracking it open and offering it to Alex who slurped it up with a happy chitter. "I am not! I can catch my own fish! Your loud voice just scared them away." Jamey pouted at the mer, looking at him expectingly as he watched so an oyster too. Fondness overtook the mer as he cracked open a few more oysters, giving them to each pup with gently hands. "Thank you dad!" Faz chirped as he leaned into Jamey, offering some of his to the mer. "Want some?" The little brown mer asked as he held it to the green mer, "I'll get Jamey his own sweetheart." Chris reminds the little one as he cracks opens another and gives it to Jamey. "Thank you though." Jamey says softly as he takes his oyster, giving a half smile at the mer.

So they're just kids in this one, so very childish when it comes to things because mer pups are suppose to be babied! Like they age slow af that's why they're tiny. I've been reading to many fanfics lmao
