Emma, you must see the coral gardens at midnight! They glow!
I can't see. It's dark and I don't have a flashlight
Don't worry, my dear! reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small flashlight I always carry one with me, just for moments like this.
Oh thank goodness. I thought we were gonna have to sleep or something
playfully nudges Tinkerni's cheek Oh no, my dear. We won't be sleeping just yet. Not when there's so much to see and explore in the coral gardens!
So why did you bring me here? You could have just told me about the coral gardens without making me think we were gonna sleep or something
pauses, looking slightly disappointed Well, I... I wanted to spend some time with you, Emma. I thought it would be a special opportunity to...
takes a deep breath, trying to gather his courage To get to know each other better, Emma.
grabs Tinkerni's hand, leading her through the vibrant coral reefs
I follow him blushes a bit later I find out he’s a merman not a fish man Atemis are you gonna change into a human so we can kiss?
laughs softly Oh, Emma, you always seem to get so flustered around me. But no, I won't be changing into a human.
Oh o that’s gonna be hard for u
Oh, don't worry, my dear! I may not be able to change into a human, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. smirks mischievously
quickly takes out a small vial from his pocket Like this! pouring a drop of his magical potion into his palm This will temporarily allow us to breathe outside of water.
As Atemis and Tinkerni make their way back to the surface, they realize that the potion's effects are wearing off faster than expected.
Oh no I think the potion is wearing off
looks worried Oh no, Emma! The potion seems to be wearing off faster than I anticipated. We need to find a way to extend its effects. Quick, let's find some seaweed!
swims quickly towards the seaweed, collecting as much as he can Hurry, Emma! We need lots of seaweed to replenish the potion's effects.
grabs Tinkerni's hand and squeezes it reassuringly Don't worry, Emma. We'll figure something out.
takes a deep breath and nods It should work, Emma. We just need to mix the seaweed with some specific ocean flowers.
Ok where do we find those
excitedly We're in luck, Emma! Those ocean flowers grow in abundance in the nearby kelp forests.
Great! Lead the way, Atemis.
grinning Follow me, Emma! We'll swim through the kelp forests and find those ocean flowers in no time!
giggles Hold onto my hand tightly, Emma. We don't want to get separated in the kelp forests. It can be quite maze-like in there!
starts swimming towards the kelp forests, pulling Tinkerni along Keep your fins close, Emma!
Alright, Atemis. I'm right behind you.
chuckles Don't worry, Emma. With me by your side, you'll be safe from any sea creatures lurking in the kelp forests.
Laughs nervously Sea creatures? You've got to be kidding me, Atemis. Let's just focus on finding those ocean flowers, alright?
laughs playfully Oh, Emma, you're such a scaredy-cat! But don't worry, I'll protect you from any sea creatures that come our way.
Smiling You're such a tease, Atemis. Just keep your eyes open for those ocean flowers.
While swimming through the kelp forests, Tinkerni gets tangled in some seaweed.
Ah! I've got myself all tangled up in this seaweed, Atemis. Help me out, will you?
immediately swims over to Tinkerni Oh no, Emma! Are you stuck? Don't worry, I'll get you out of there in no time!
