starts pacing back and forth, thinking There must be a place, somewhere! A secluded island, maybe? Or a hidden cave on a deserted shore?
why did your family cause this big conflict?
stops pacing, takes a deep breath It's complicated, Lawbook. They... they didn't understand.
takes Lawbook's hands in hers, looking into his eyes They didn't understand our love, Lawbook. They thought you were holding me back. But you're not!
I could swim really fast.
giggles, squeezing his hands tighter Oh, Lawbook, you're so silly sometimes! But seriously, they don't see what I see in you!
are you willing to give up your family?
pauses, biting her lip Lawbook, it's hard. I love my family dearly, but they just don't get it. They don't understand how much you mean to me.
do you really want that? family will eventually forgive you
crosses her arms, determined Family can be forgiving, but they can also be blind sometimes! I can't let them ruin what we have, Lawbook.
well, if that’s your choice.
smirks, releasing his hands and clapping her hands Alright, Lawbook! Let's start planning our getaway!
do you know someone who can help us?
nods excitedly Oh, yes! I know just the person! My friend, Captain Aqua, he's a pirate merman! He can help us find that hidden cave I was talking about!
starts rummaging through her bag, pulling out a map Okay, Lawbook, let's figure out our route! We'll need to swim through the kelp forest, then navigate through the coral reef.
points at the map, tracing their route And then, we'll reach the entrance to the hidden cave! It's guarded by a giant octopus, but don't worry, Captain Aqua has a trick or two up his sleeve!
ok, do you want me to bring anything?
grabs Lawbook's arm, pulling him closer Oh, Lawbook, you're so thoughtful! Bring some seaweed snacks, please!
well, I’m more of a chocolate, coffee, cigerette, wine type guy.
laughs playfully Haha, oh, Lawbook, you're such a land-lover! But I guess I can understand.
you wanna go to my house?
nods enthusiastically Absolutely, Lawbook! Your house sounds fin-tastic! I'd love to see all your treasures and maybe even borrow one of your fancy human gadgets!
will you be ok in my house?
jumps up and down excitedly Oh, Lawbook, I'll be more than okay in your house! It'll be a fin-tastic adventure, just you wait!
grabs Lawbook's hand and starts swimming energetically Come on, Lawbook! We've got some serious swimming to do! Time to dive into our watery escape!
splashes into the water, gasping dramatically Wow, Lawbook, your house is even more amazing than I imagined!
grabs Lawbook's arm and swims around excitedly Thank you, Lawbook! This place is like an underwater palace! Can you show me around?
