Humans eat fish--well, merpeople eat fish too, but it's just different, okay. Humans might eat merpeople for all he knows, and that's really the last way he wants his already poor-looking day to go. His tail fin twitches with irritation and nervous energy, much like a cat's, but is followed by a more wet slapping sound as it hits the edge of the dock.
Following the line that he's literally attached to, Yosuke makes out that it comes to an end at a very long stick. Is that what was pulling him up here?
When the human speaks, amber eyes snap back to his face. His features are clearer now, sharpened with the line of his jaw and the human's strangely gray eyes. Gray, just as surprised as he is, it seems, but not unkind. Do they all look like that? Or is he just reading hopefully into things?
He processes the words, but there's not much trust there. As soon as Yu moves, Yosuke tenses, the fins that cover his ears flattening against the sides of his head. ]

[ How does he know that this human is going to "help" at all? Or more importantly...what are his chances at escape without his help?
There's a long pause as Yosuke sizes him up.
Eventually, he finds his voice. And takes a chance that he'll probably get an earful for later if he lives through this. ]
