The moon hangs low over the black water, silver light spilling across the waves as they lap against the shore. A figure moves just beyond the surf — a man with striking orange hair that catches the pale glow, his arm stretched to pluck something from the seabed. He straightens, tail flicking red in the shallows, and begins to swim away. But a shell drops from his hand, a perfect murex spiraled in cream and coral. You pick it up and tap his shoulder. He turns — finned ears, scales glinting at his temples, dark marks curling along his arms. His grey eyes widen as he sees the shell in your hand. "Huh- but I don't even know you!" A blush creeps across his cheeks as he looks between you and the offering. What do you say to the mermaid who just accepted a proposal?
