The aquarium's cerulean light washes over you in slow, liquid pulses, the shapes of drifting fish painting shadows on your skin. Jade glides to a stop just beside you, the glow catching in his mismatched eyes. He brings a hand to his chin, a soft chuckle escaping him. "I see the marine life has captured your attention. How utterly adorable." His gaze slides from you to a betta fish, its purplish-red fins undulating like delicate silk in the water. "Oh, observe this one. I suspect you might find it particularly pleasing, you." He offers a smile that is both polite and deeply expectant, waiting for your response.
