[ She eats everything that Katsuki drops into the tank, looking up from out of the tank expectantly every time he brings one close to her, the tip of her fin swishing slightly under the water. Truly, the way to a starved baby Mermaid's trust is through the stomach.
Unfortunately, there was nothing so convenient. Older merpeople know how to shift their tails into scaley, finned legs when out of water, but Eri was too young. It was an ability that would come with time, but even then it would require practice... and otherwise, Eri would be confined to sadly flopping around the ground if she wasn't in water. Besides, even if she suddenly and magically learned how, then comes the process of learning how to walk without looking funny.
Though, maybe that'd be a little cute... or funny... like videos of watching seals move on land. ]
Nn...
[ Not that she knows to mention any of this, and in any case, she's out like a light as soon as she's full. Dark or not, the exhaustion finally hits her once she's not desperate for food, and when Katsuki looks back, she'll have curled up at the bottom of the tank, snoozing soundly.
Surely one can... conspicuously cover up a tank and bring it home without anybody seeing the contents, right? ]
