He tried. It was the best he could do in a blink. And there was just stunned silence for the moment as she thanked him and said surprise. Well yeah, this was a surprise. He blinked, then nodded. "That you are. Um... I suppose I've seen stranger surprises." He said softly.
He gave a nod, trying to shake himself out of his bewilderment enough to move. To help her to the floor better, so she was seated if possible. "Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Here." he said as he helped her down. "Glad you're okay though. Give me a second and I'll find something to help you dry." He said, then started to take his dress coat off, as if she needed the help.
Okay, so she was a mermaid.
That was okay, right?
He wasn't going to freak out about it. After all, he knew a chimpanzee scientist for most his given life. His brother talks to the dead. These things happen, right?
