Oliver stood beside her father, watching the merman with a keen eye, she really wasn't sure why she was so interested in watching the thing... She had no clue what to assume her interest in it was but after a moment she just settled on, her drive for money, and watching it helped her think of ideas. As the merman finished eating, most of the men went back to work, to the point it was just her and her father standing up there. "So what do you plan on doing with the thing?" She finally asked while glancing over at him. "Plan on using it the best I can... hopefully he can be useful and help kill off some compeitiors of mine in the auction busniess." Trevor stated with a firm tone before on his heel to walk off. "Wait.. So your not going to get your moneys worth out of it?" Oliver turned but did not follow him as she was surprised and confused.. maybe even a little upset at what her fathers plan was. "No, I don't intend to do that... And you better not get any ideas either, Oliver" Trevor said with his voice laced with warning as he knew how she could get if something didn't involve money. *Money, money, money... I swear she is going to drive me insane* Trevor thought to himself as he continued to walk off to go get some work done. As her father left Oliver huffed, she was irritated at the plan. How could he not want to get his moneys worth of the thing?.. That's what he had always taught her was to get the highest amount of money anyone can get off something. Not only was money important but money was the key to all happiness and that's exactly what Oliver needed was to feel happy.

Sage had been listening to the conversation between the two of them as they talked, and it had certainly caught his interest from the moment she'd asked what they were to do with him. He wasn't sure why she seemed so annoyed at his plan ...though he was annoyed too. He wasn't just some tool. Though, they though he was, obviously. However, if it got him out of the tank, he didn't mind killing a few guys. It would be easier to kill women, since he could use his song, but whatever. He doubted they'd just let him go into whatever water though....they weren't stupid. He settled for swimming around aimlessly, desperately bored even though the circumstances were probably not circumstances that caused most people to be bored. He missed his kelp forests, but not necessarily the village he'd lived in. He didn't like his family there, except for his younger sister of course. Lizzie was really the only reason he'd stayed there. A pang of sadness washed over him at the thought of his best friend....his only friend. He missed her a lot. He missed a lot of things. Was he to stay here forever? It wasn't like he could just get up and walk out of the warehouse.

Oliver stood staring at the pool not even paying attention to the merman, she was now half sulking, half plotting what she would do the merman herself. Maybe she could sell him entirely, maybe peice by piece, or even put on a freak show.. She thought about each option carefully before letting out a heavy sigh, not even sure which one would be best or how to even start excecuting the plan since it had to be behind her fathers back... Oliver switched to sitting down in a nearby chair, a heavy frown sitting on her face as she continued to think,, and think.. and think.. Then after awhile of playing things through her head another one thought popped into it. If there was one merman than their had to be others and of course the one they had now must now about them. Finally a small grin started to grow on her face as she finally settled on her plan. Oliver would befriend this creature, get him to spill the location or get enough info out of him that she could pick up the information plus location out of her powers, then catch, and sell as many as she could get. Yes, that's what she was going to do, then maybe at last she could be happy. After a moment, Oliver stood up and walked to the pools edge, looking into the water where a figure was just aimlessly swimming around. *It seems to know what I'm saying.. Let's see if it can speak too* She thought with the same grin "Hey.. The warehouse is about to close for the night. Do you want anything before everyone has left?" Oliver asked loudly enough for it to hear her in the water, then waited a moment to see if it responded

Sage had taken to sort of just....pacing. He didn't exactly have much else to do besides swim in aimless circles. It was a big tank, but still rather small he thought. It was big enough for a human, but he was larger than humans. Well, longer....his body was human sized, yes, but it tail was almost double that, so there really wasn't that much room to swim around at.

He cocked his head slightly when he noticed the girl coming back over to the pool, though he didn't pay her much attention besides a weary glance. When she spoke though, he halted and turned, sort of eyeing her with an admittedly wary expression on his face. She'd been ready to kill him twenty minutes ago....so why the sudden change of character? He didn't know, but he did know he couldn't trust her. So he stayed there, sort of just hovering in the middle of the tank, tail slowly moving back and forth to keep him there. When she stayed there, no doubt expecting an answer, he sighed and moved towards the surface of the water. He came out of the water this time, though not before looking around to see if anyone else was there. He wasn't afraid of her....but he knew what his choices were.

"I want a lot of things, though I doubt you could give them to me," he eventually hummed, after studying the girl intelligently for a moment. Then he cocked his head slightly, eyes glittering. It wasn't a friendly glitter either. He'd dragged plenty of people down into the depths and he was letting her know he would do it to her if his opportunity arose. Or if it would help his cause.

Oliver waited patiently... Scarth that she waited impatiently for it's response, only growing more agitated the longer it waded in the water not moving. She did know it was staring at her as she could sense the eyes watching her every move. When the figure started to come closer to the surface, her agitation faded away as she knew that she was finally about to get some sort of response out of it. Oliver watch it with keen, sharp eyes, seeing it look around for others before going back to her. Oliver smiled softly, doing her best to keep her demeanor calm and friendly despite the total temper tantrum from earlier, as the merman watched her back, almost as if studying her. "Depends on what you want. I am the daughter of the man who caught you so I could pull a few strings to get some things. Besides your freedom.. That's something I won't be able to give" Oliver simply stated with a shrug of her shoulders, what she said was true besides the last part. She could totally grant this merman it's freedom but she didn't want too as she needed it for her plan. When she met it's eyes, she was admittedly a bit weary as the glitter in his eyes felt dangerous, that's when she had a flash, a vision of her being dragged under, not being able to breathe or speak, only bubbles coming out as her cries. Oliver breathed heavily for a moment as she felt like she couldn't breathe before finally she snapped out of her vision, her eyes were filled with terror for a moment but soon vanished. She calmed her breathing, as she didn't want that thing to think she was scared of it.. Which she wasn't going to let herself be scared of some fish tailed freak, so she narrowed her eyes slightly, bringing a smile back to her face, almsot as if daring it to do what she had seen

Sage watched the girl keenly, a small smirk growing on his face when she seemed scared for a moment. She seemed determined not to show it, but he'd seen the looks on her face. He was quite familiar with it. He let out a quiet chuckle, though even that wasn't so friendly. "Can't or won't," he mused, cocking his head very slightly, though the small movement made him seem that much more formidable. He knew that.

It didn't really matter though, so he moved on once he noticed the daring look in her eyes. "Don't think I won't," he said quietly. "It's just not time for your life to end," he mused, eyes running over her again. Not in an admiring way, unless you counted hungry for prey admiring. "Not yet." Though, he was curious as to why she was suddenly trying to be friendly. So, he'd play along with her little game of friends. He could do that. That was how he'd lured many sailors and hunters into the water with him, where he was in his element and they....well, they were like babies still in the womb. Helpless. Floundering around unable to do anything but panic. He was a siren, he could act friendly. And that part of the plan would come ...but he'd have to act wary of her first. It all had to look real. He leaned forward, propping himself up on his arms to lean in closer to whisper "watch yourself, sweetheart. A friendship with a siren is risky business," before sinking back under the water without a sound or ripple.

Oliver let out a sharp breath seeing the smirk that grew on it's face, almost devilsh looking, which let her know that it knew she was a bit scared. At it's chuckle, she rolled her eyes not wanting to let it get amusment from her fear. "I don't know.. Why don't you mess around and find out" She mused back to him, swallowing sharply at his the tilt of his head, making him seem even more devilish then before but she kept the fear off her face. When it finally acknowledge Oliver's daring look she smirked slightly "I really don't think you will. You see, I'm probably the only person here that will listen to request of yours and if you want to lose that, than you are dumber than you look." She said to it snarkily, not caring for it's deadly words but the way the thing looked at her sent a shiver down her spine. Definitely a predator studying it's next prey, type glare.... Oliver really wasn't scared of much but this thing sitting in front of her, was the most dangerous but amusing thing she had the fortunate chance to meet. When it started to swim up closer, she sort of shifted back, not wanting to let it close but at the same time didn't want to show fear. At it's words, she sort of froze as she watched it sink back down. Oliver got herself to stop being frozen after a second "We'll see about that" She grumbled while standing up and turning to walk away. If that's the intimidating game it wanted to play, then she would gladly play along with it.
