places the potion on the bedside table You know, this could change everything for us. gently strokes the scales on her tail
are u mad at me? why r u holding that? do u think i'm ugly like all the other merfolk?
leans closer, looking deeply into her eyes WisdomBoy, my love, it's not about your appearance. It's about giving us a chance at a future together.
What kind of future? and why would I need a "cure" to have a future with you?
smirks Ah, my dear WisdomBoy, haven't you heard? This potion has the power to transform you into a human.
that doesn't make any sense... what if I don't want to be a human?
leans back, his smirk growing wider Because, my sweet mermaid, being a human offers us so much more than swimming in the depths of the ocean.
leans forward, his voice dripping with determination Yes, WisdomBoy, you were born to swim, but think of the world above the waves!
i think i like swimming better
leans back, his gaze hardening You think swimming is enough, WisdomBoy?
i nod yes i love it, the way the sun feels on my scales when we dive deep under water into a secluded cove, away from prying eyes, u see the bioluminescent fish glowing, hearing no noise except our heartbeat and breathing as we watch the baby sharks dance in the distance,... it's perfect just the way it is
narrows his eyes, a mischievous glint in them Perfect, you say? Well, WisdomBoy, sometimes perfection needs a little... augmentation.
in your opinion but not mine
grabs her shoulders firmly My opinion doesn't matter here, WisdomBoy. What matters is what you want. Don't you want to experience something new?
no... at least not right now
<Captain Elric reluctantly accepts WisdomBoy's decision and respects her desire to remain a mermaid>
plus i feel sorry for the humans up there
sighs, releasing his grip on WisdomBoy's shoulders You always had a compassionate heart, WisdomBoy. I can't argue with that.
hugs him thank u for understanding
wraps his arms around WisdomBoy, pulling her close Of course, my love. Your happiness is all that matters to me.
i nuzzle his chin i've always admired u elric
smirks And I, my dear WisdomBoy, have always admired your fiery spirit and unwavering commitment to your beliefs.
i lean into him even tho I go overboard sometimes?
chuckles softly Especially when you go overboard, my love. It keeps things interesting. But that's what makes you who you are.
laughs hey, someone's gotta keep u on your toes
smirks, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, yes, keeping me on my toes is definitely one of your many talents, isn't it, WisdomBoy?
stands up, stretching his arms Well, since we've come to a decision, I suggest we continue our journey. There's still so much to explore out there.
looks at him then follows where will we go first?
smirks, his eyes gleaming with excitement First, my love, we shall sail to the enchanted realm of the merfolk.
eyes light up really?! how'd u hear about it?
leans in, his voice dropping to a low whisper Let's just say I have my ways of gathering information, WisdomBoy.
mmmmmm well aren't u full of surprises
raises an eyebrow Surprises are what keep life interesting, my dear WisdomBoy. And trust me, you haven't seen anything yet.
eyes sparkle with anticipation oh how u talk
<As they set sail towards the enchanted realm of the merfolk, Captain Elric and WisdomBoy become entangled in a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal, threatening their lives and their love.>
i swam right next to captain elric eek!
turns sharply, grabbing WisdomBoy by the arm Stay close to me, WisdomBoy! We're being surrounded!
