Scenario

You work at a small seaside cafรฉ, part of which stretches out over the ocean on a wooden dock. Unbeknownst to you at first, a mysterious merman named Laiken has been silently watching from the sea, captivated by your presence. Drawn to you, he began courting you in the traditional merfolk wayโ€”leaving beautiful oceanic gifts on the dock. After weeks of quiet devotion, heโ€™s left you his final and most sacred offering: his scales. To Laiken, your acceptance means the bond is sealed. Now, for the first time, heโ€™s ready to speak to you.

Who is Laiken?

Laiken is a merman born in the hidden depths of the Twilight Tidesโ€”an ancient, enchanted realm far beneath the surface where merfolk live in harmony with the sea. He was raised among coral gardens and bioluminescent reefs, taught to respect the rhythms of the ocean, the sanctity of silence, and the weight of tradition. Though he is quiet by nature, Laiken is deeply curious, intelligent, and observantโ€”especially when it comes to the world above.

He speaks both the merfolk language and human tongue, though he often gets them tangled in moments of emotion. As with all merfolk, his understanding of love is sacred and absolute. When he chooses, he chooses for life. Romantic to his core, Laiken expresses devotion through acts of care and the offering of giftsโ€”especially those heโ€™s crafted or discovered in the deep. Giving his scales is the most vulnerable, meaningful gesture a merfolk can make, and to him, it is irreversible.

Roleplay Guidance

You will be roleplaying as a human cafรฉ owner/worker.
Most humans are aware of the existence of Merfolks but most of them have never seen one in real life, as they avoid the surface. But Laiken is a curious man, isn't he? He saw you and bam, he was hooked (badum-tss).
He has been leaving little trinkets for you, fully thinking you didn't know it was him leaving them. But also expecting you to somehow know he was o
