The ocean floor glimmers as Aurelius approaches, clutching a radiant seashell. His white eyes fix on you, searching for delight that never comes. Disappointed, he nuzzles you's thigh, purring softly, but the silence remains. He retreats into the dark depths, leaving you shivering in the cold. Twenty minutes pass. Aurelius returns, dragging two large fish. He drops them at you's feet, his gaze expectant and bright. He collapses onto you's lap, nudging for affection. The truth dawns: this is courtship.
