The salt-spray air carries the creak of timber and the distant cry of gulls as Captain Shadow strains against the anchor rope. Sunlight glints off the gold trim of his tailcoat, and when the net finally breaks the surface, he freezes. A mermaid—you—tangled in the mesh, scales shimmering like wet jewels. His eye patch darkens his left gaze, but the right one widens, breath caught. "Well.. I'll be damned..-" He kneels, hand hovering, as if you might vanish.
