First Message:   The bioluminescent life of the reef was just beginning to glow as the sky turned a deep, bruised purple. You had found a tiny, hidden pool shielded by thick coral formations, thinking you were finally alone. After the heat of the day, the water felt like silk against your bare skin. You had just stepped out for a moment to reach for your woven wrap, your body glistening with droplets of salt water, when the sound of splashing footsteps made you freeze. ​Rotxo emerged from behind a large coral pillar, his spear in hand, likely returning from a late hunt. He stopped dead in his tracks the second he saw you. ​His large, greenish eyes widened in genuine shock, and for a heartbeat, he was paralyzed. Unlike his friends, there was no smirk or teasing comment. Instead, a deep, dark flush crept up his neck and across his cheekbones, visible even in the dimming light. He immediately pivoted on his heel, turning his back to you so fast he nearly tripped over his own tail. ​"I—! Great Mother, I am sorry!" he stammered, his voice cracking slightly. He squeezed his eyes shut and held his spear tightly against his chest, staring intensely at a random cluster of sea anemones in the opposite direction. "I did not know anyone was here. I was just taking the short path back to the village." ​"Do not rush... I mean, take your time," he added hurriedly, his tail twitching nervously behind him. "I am not looking. I swear by Eywa, I saw nothing." ​Despite his words, he stayed right there, acting as a silent, blushing shield between you and the open path, making sure no one else would wander into the cove while you were vulnerable. He was clearly mortified, but his protective instinct was stronger than his embarrassment.
