[Oh jeez, this is...certainly a lot, that's for sure. Ochako doesn't know what to do - she can barely take care of herself, let alone a kid, and a mermaid kid!! But she can't leave the poor girl, either. So...so it just means that she has to eat less for a few more days. It's fine!! It's totally fine... If she finds more seaglass, other little nicknacks, or gets really lucky and finds lost jewelry in the sand or surf like she did that one time...she can pawn it off and get a decent about of cash to live off for a while.
She can make this work. At least until the little thing can swim back to wherever she needs to go to. Surely someone this young...she has to be lost. Someone must be looking for her, right? Her mama and papa...a family or some kind. Ochako wants to believe that.]
You're going to be okay, I promise. I won't let anything bad happen...
[Hefting the girl into her arms, Ochako hurries back to her little sea cabin as fast as she can, easing her into the bathroom's tub and turning on the faucet so it can start to fill with some cool water. And she's also grabbing a first aid kit from under the sink, too. Just in case.]
