( the force of hitting the dock, the sting of the air, the shift from breathing water to breathing air- all of it would already burn combined, but it only makes the gash in her side hurt more. when she tries to shift to threaten the fisherman, it just makes things even worse- or it feels like it anyways.
beneath the water it was quiet. most things couldn't make themselves be heard, or simply didn't make sounds- though even without mermaids there were exceptions. on the wooden pier, however, it was different. the waves seemed to roar and crash, the birds' cries were shrill and piercing, and it felt like there was sound everywhere- how did humans stand it? it's too much--
even though she wants to keep glaring, jinx can only look away as she curls up a bit, like it will even do anything. there's no answer for your half-question this time, izuku- but that sure is a tail instead of legs.
... she might be on the verge of sensory overload oh no
