Mm. I'm her only spawn but the place I'm from used t' be a giant orphanage 'til they shut it down. But people kept bringin' their babies an' jus' leavin' 'em there when they wasn't wanted an' some a 'em managed t' survive an' kinda help the others 'long, so now there's a bigass city down there. Ma likes t' get 'round but I guess after me she got more careful, sheheheh! But she's always bringin' in other li'l shits t' the house an' helpin' 'em live. Hell, count all them then I got brothers an' sisters I don't even know 'bout. 'S how Sal wound up there though. She was livin' on the surface hidin' that she's a mermaid 'til she got herself knocked up by some human passin' through an' then realized there mighta been a thing or two the doc'd notice come spawnin' time, sheheh! So she calls me up an' asks me t' take her down t' the Island only she ain't got no family or nothin' so Ma said she'd take her in, an' that's what happened. Told Marius an' Mizuko when people give 'em shit 'bout bein' half breeds t' remind 'em I'm their Pop an' if people still gives 'em shit 's jus' cuz they take after me from the waist down an' their Ma from the waist up. Sheheheh! 'S creepy seein' 'em side by side cuz they do look 'zactly the same almost an' that ain't... how seafolk usually turn out, even if they's twins.
