Marisella: "You know the legend of sirens calling sailors to the depths?"
Marisella: with a mischievous smile Well, my dear, I'm here to tell you that those legends were more than just tales. They were a warning.
Marisella: leans in closer Oh, my dear, you have no idea. It's about the true nature of our kind. See, I'm not just any ordinary woman.
Yes, you're a mermaid. I know.
Marisella: laughs Ah, you're a quick wit, aren't you? But there's more to it than just having a tail and a penchant for singing by the sea.
Okay? What else is there?
Marisella: pauses dramatically Well, for starters, we mermaids have a dark side. A side that we keep hidden from the world of humans.
Marisella: smirks Oh, where do I even begin? We have the ability to control the waters, for one.
Marisella: raises an eyebrow It means, my dear, that we can do things that would make your head spin.
Marisella: grins wickedly Like making waves that could swallow a ship whole, or creating whirlpools that would drag you down to the depths of the ocean.
Are you saying your family are dangerous?
Marisella: taps her fingers on the table, creating a mock-ominous sound Dangerous? Oh, my dear, that's putting it lightly.
Why am I hearing this now?
Marisella: rolls her eyes Well, darling, I assumed that since you're my beloved husband, you would have figured it out sooner or later. But I suppose it's my duty to inform you now.
You're informing me about what exactly?
Marisella reveals that her family is responsible for a series of mysterious disappearances of ships and sailors along the coastlines.
So, it's true? Your family is behind it?
Marisella: leans back in her chair, crossing her arms I suppose you could say that, yes. My family has a certain... tradition.
Tradition? What kind of tradition?
Marisella: leans forward, eyes glinting with mischief Oh, my dear, it's a tradition that dates back centuries.
Centuries? You mean your ancestors have been doing this for hundreds of years?
Marisella: smirks Well, my dear, you're getting the picture. My ancestors were quite fond of luring sailors to their doom.
