He'll take that as permission and hope he's right, then. It takes Ginko another moment to tear his eyes away from the merman's, but he manages to turn his attention to the netting instead. Some of it is just looped around itself, making the mess look - and probably feel - worse than it is. So he sets to work on that first, untangling the knots and the netting with practiced hands until it's been simplified down as much as he can manage.

Now is the tough part, though, because it... definitely is wrapped around the merman's waist, far enough that he doubts he can just pull it away without moving him. Shit, this was already weirdly intimate enough.

He looks to the merman again, one hand pulling uncertainly at the net in a weak effort to indicate what he needs to do. "Could you, uh... roll toward me? Or lift your back. I think I've almost got this part."
