Curious, he wondered if it’s safe to touch the vial, finger hovering above the glass as he pondered. At that moment he wished Gil was there - the young man probably had all the answers to these weird findings - or even Hyesung. But without them both, Eric’s only knowledge of Sasquatch was the follow: it doesn’t exist and the only photo evidence were of pranksters who had the time to do this elaborated trick.
Or perhaps they were real, and this vial was the exact evidence of a giant gorilla that could walk on two feet being murdered-
A voice spoke up right beside him, breaking him from his bizarre thoughts as he turned, almost colliding with the young woman. Eyes wincing when he hit the edge of the small table, Eric cussed softly under his breath, hand immediately reaching forth to sooth the pain.
"Bigfoot?" he grumbled, stepping away from the table as he answered her query. Not that he was exactly sure what it was - he’s been out of touch with all things mystic ever since the age of twelve. "Isn’t that what they are? Gorillas that walk on two feet?"
She didn’t know she shouldn’t have acted like this but oh, how she shouldn’t. The obvious surprised man took his steps back, right in her feet – but luckily, she skipped away before he could stomp it more times and then ruin her toes forever.
Instead of being stomped on though, she walked back and into the wall, eyes widen as she heard a noise after the bumping one and she knew it had come from him. Straightening up, and rushing quickly to him, she let her hand fall on his sides as an impulse and still as such, the mermaid rubbed it softly as his own hand was doing.
Her hazel orbs flicked up as he spoke, brows furrowing a little. “Bigfoot?” She repeated, the name rolling out of her tongue not so unfamiliar. Where she had heard it? “…Gorillas that walk on two feet?” Even more confusing. Wasn’t these supposed to be humans? Or were them the normal monkeys? Too much the same for her, a mere mermaid, to know.
But then the memory hit her like a brick, and it was very clear for her – or so she thought. “How did this end here, aren’t them on Canada or America or someplace else?”
