In the embrace of moonlit tides, she appeared—his heart whispered her name long before his mind comprehended its sound. O sea nymph, with hair cascading like the Rothnald river, you tangle his thoughts in eddies of desire.
The night was theirs, shared beneath the celestial canopy of stars and the murmuring ocean. "Fishy," she called him, her laughter mingling with the sound of crashing waves. He corrected her, shy as the tide's retreat yet bold as any mariner, "No, call me Captain Flounder of the Portland Puddles."
But alas, no romantic evening is complete without its own melodramatic twist. Enter stage left: a giant squid, slumbering in the deep, awakening due to an unintentional dramatic poetry slam from the skilled bard, Discordia.
As fish and foam tangled wildly, his romantic serenade clashed with nautical irony. Tentacles entwined, Flounder dived deeper—his heart racing as quickly as his feet would have, if love and calamity allowed such a retreat.
The battle of passion and creatures began. "Quick!" she exclaimed, "Dazzle him with sea cucumbers!" Flounder, in a mix of reverence and amazement, complied; the cucumbers flew like maritimer confetti, scattering through the salty air.
And there, amidst the vegetable warriors, the squid halted, entranced by the spectacle of the mundane turned magical. The romance abandoned logic, yet prospered in absurdity.
