[ Considering the parts of the oceans where Mermaids reside, the temperature of the water is hardly an issue... but still, the attention that Ochako does pay to it makes it that much more soothing. Soothing enough compared to before that, as Ochako starts to so pet her head under the water... her eyes start to open. It feels gentle, her hand on her head...
Still, when her eyes start to adjust and register the sight of Ochako outside of the water... as comforting as she's been, she's still the first human she's ever seen... in fact, the first face she's seen in a few days.
There's a bit of hesitation as she processes, but she immediately tenses, suddenly splashing about in the water as she flounders around in an attempt to figure out where she is... plus the sudden realization of how small the area of water she's currently occupying is compared to, well, the ocean. Her eyes show a mixture of confusion and fear, now that she's fully conscious again.
The almost curls in on herself, timidly holding her arms to herself as she presses herself up against the corner of the tub, only able to let out little squeaks as her voice fails her. ]
