[It is indeed!! Most shipwrecks have a wild collection of books littering the seafloor, and those that haven't completely withered away have been kept by curious merfolk for a long time. Eventually, various languages learned from numerous books cultivated all over the various oceans meant the language of sirens was bound to change and shift as well. Many merfolk were actually bilingual for this reason alone.
But this little...Kat he said? This Kat seems to be having some difficulty, so Ochako just waits patiently as he stumbles a bit with the writing. Her tail flutters behind her, and she does look around a bit, shifting and moving from the porthole to remain unseen as people come and go up above, but overall she stay close.]
My name is Ochako! I've never seen a Kat before...only humans. Staying long?
[She means is the ship staying long - most passenger vessels like this don't stay arounf for more than maybe two weeks at a time. She doesn't stray close, either, but there are times when humans come in large numbers...they drop some neat items into the sea. Ochako's a bit of a collector, and her satchel is stuffed with things she's collected, ready to be sold for goods back in her small, aquatic world. Her life isn't exactly easy there, too...and keeping food on the table gets hard, even out at sea.
Trading rare oddities from the human world is the best thing she can do to get food, goods, and necessities.]
[oh gosh welp xD]
