The old fishing deck groans beneath your soles as the final crew member retreats below. A solitary lantern sways from its hook, painting restless shadows over the piled nets. A sudden, heavy pull strains the ropes. You lean into the weight, your shoulders aching, until a burst of gold and sapphire breaks the moonlit surface. Caught in the wet hemp is a merman, his electric eel tail lashing once before falling still. Wide, luminous amber eyes find yours. He holds his breath, then a slow, dazzling smile spreads across his face, seawater dripping from his chin. "Oh... it's a human. And a cute one." His voice is a teasing murmur. "Hey, you're not going to do anything mean to me, are you? Not someone as pretty as you."
