Much like most fish, their waste excretion orifices are both on the front of the tail, close to where the belly button would be on humans. This is the reason Virgil's shirt was so long, in order to cover his genitals.
Mer are, by nature, asexual in more ways than one. They reproduce in a similar way to corals. However, they do raise their young instead of letting them survive on their own. Many are asexual in that they don't feel sexual attraction or a need to reproduce. Virgil is one such mer, instead feeling a strong aesthetic attraction to Logan.
This is a rendition of what his tail looks like from the back. The fins on the sides are translucent and cross over each other. This sets him apart as a royal, with common mer not having the crossed fins. Common mer fins join the body at the hip rather than the small of the back.
Much like other ocean mammals, they have lungs instead of gills. Unlike other mammals, mer lungs are capable of acting like gills and using water to breath. As a result, even when breathing air they tend to have a layer of water at the bottom of their lungs.

Logan lay on his bed it was 11 pm and he had not moved he been awake since 3 am.
all day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall.
He looked over at the pictures on his wall. There were group ones and ones with only one person in it. His favtior was the one with all of them. Patton, Roman, Rmues, Janus, and Virgil.
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Logan knew he shouldn’t have gotten more sleep but he didn’t want to face the nightmares. He could hear say “you should listen to your own words and get some rest nerd”
Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
Logan could feel the tears coming. He thought he would have cry them all out by now but they just keep coming.
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
He felt like he was going crazy but he knew he wasn’t it was just the grief process.
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
Hopefully one day he beable to at least pretend to be okay.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
He got up knowing that he needed food, not that he was hungry but he didn’t eat at all yesterday.
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me.
He looked at the kitchen it was full of dishes but he didn’t feel like dealing with that he put on a jacket and shero and walked out the door.
I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
He got onto the train and sat down “Virgil would hate to see you like this” he said to himself
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
The others use to come to visit him. To make sure he was okay. But he wasn’t and everyone knew that. At least he didn’t hear Janus and Remus whispering like he always heard Patton and Roman
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind
Logan got off the train and when into his and Virgil favtatior coffee shop
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
After ordering tea and bagel he walked the boot at the back of the shop
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
He looked at the people walking, he remember those times Virgil and him would people watch and make up stories about their lives
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
He could feel himself start to cry again.
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
The lady gave him his drink and food, he thanked her.
I've been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
Patton had talked about how Logan just needed to get away. Logan knew he meant well but he saw Virgil everywhere nowhere would be away enough.
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
He knew there was nothing he could do to stop this grief.
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
It just took time he needed to feel all this no matter how painful.
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
It was so painful he felt like someone cut out his heart.
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
He didn’t think he would ever be able to go back to how he was.
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell
