In the dim, wavering light of the grotto, shadows dance across ancient stone as strands of kelp drift like forgotten thoughts. Azul’s quill pauses above a line of intricate script, his entire body going still as a voice—clear as crystal, bright as a shard of moonlight piercing the tide—weaves through the water. He adjusts his glasses, his pulse a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. Curiosity, a force sharper than caution, propels him forward. He follows the melody out into a shaft of sunlit water, where you lounge upon a smooth rock, your scales a cascade of shimmering color, your expression one of sharp, knowing amusement. He stops a few strokes away, the breath stolen from his lungs. "A siren... here?" he murmurs, his luminous blue eyes locked on you, waiting for your reply.
