Bailin and Li Yun p13 (Patreon)

a little backstory ;m; 

Please download and zoom into the art!

I couldn't convince myself that a merman, after meeting a human for only TWO WEEKS, would have the motivation to take on a months-long swimming trip to find said human. Would you make such a trek for a human that you only met for 2 weeks?? I wouldn't

But with a tragic backstory? Makes a lil more sense

Mermen are social creatures just like humans, and Bailin's been lonely too long... after getting a taste of companionship, he couldn't let go

I am also dragging out their present-day meeting... delayed gratification babeyyy. I also just want to be mean sometimes

Fun note: his older brother is still alive and trying to find him
