#I figure selkies would be into shellfish

[superiorsturgeon]

In Northern European folklore, Selkies are mythical creatures possessing the ability to shapeshift between a seal and an attractive human by wearing a sealskin coat. According to legend, a fisherman may capture and marry a Selkie by stealing and hiding their coat, but if the Selkie ever finds the coat they will return to the sea and never be seen again.

Jaune: *wearing a cable-knit sweater and whistling a tune while walking down to the seaside with a bucket and tall boots* 😗 🎶

????: *splashing and bathing*

Jaune: Hm? I wonder who that could be? *peeks around a rock*

Selkie!Pyrrha: *naked and bathing happily in the surf*

Jaune: HOLY CRAP A NAKED WOMAN!! 😟

Selkie!Pyrrha: *turns around* 😕 ?

Jaune: HOLY CRAP SHE’S GORGEOUS!!!! 😱

Selkie!Pyrrha: Oh no! A fisherman! 😨

Jaune: *covering his eyes* AH!!! SORRY! I didn’t mean to spy on you! 🫣

Jaune: *gropes blindly and finds a rich seal-skin coat* H-here! You must be cold!

Selkie!Pyrrha: *takes the coat in dumbfounded surprise* Did he just…give it back? Just like that? 😦

Jaune: M-my name’s Jaune! I’m so sorry again, m-maybe if I see you later I can m-make it up to you? If you never want to see me again I’ll understand!

Jaune: *flees in panic*

Selkie!Pyrrha: *puts on her coat and turns into a seal* That was weird, he didn’t try to keep me as his wife even when he had my coat!

Selkie!Pyrrha: *slips into the water* What a shame! He was cute!

A few days later…

Jaune: *once again walking on the shoreline* Hmm?

Selkie!Pyrrha: *coyly watching as Jaune walks around the corner* Oh! It seems you came across me again! And my coat is all the way over there out of my reach…!

Jaune: *covers his eyes* Whoops! Sorry, let me just…

Jaune: *hands Pyrrha her sealskin coat and backs away*

Selkie!Pyrrha: *annoyed seal noises* What’s with him? Doesn’t he want a selkie spouse? 🤨

A few more days later…

Selkie!Pyrrha: Oh, how tragic for me! I have been discovered by a cute blonde fisherman and my coat is out of my reach!

Selkie!Pyrrha: There is nothing to stop the blonde fisherman from taking my coat and making me his-

Jaune: *climbs down from tall rocks* Phew! Got your coat back! I don’t know how it got all the way up there, but I bet you must be cold without it!

Jaune: *presents Selkie coat to Pyrrha while trying not to stare at her* 😅

Selkie!Pyrrha: *frustrated seal noises* Take the hint! 🤬

The day after…

Jaune: *mending nets and minding his own business* 😗🎶

Selkie!Pyrrha: *suddenly throws her coat over Jaune’s head from behind* 😠

Jaune: MMPH!! 😨

Selkie!Pyrrha: *bundles Jaune up and tosses him over her shoulder*

Selkie!Pyrrha: *happily carrying her new husband away* Oh no! A cute fisherman has taken my coat and I am bound to be his spouse! I suppose I shall have to make the best of my new life! 🥰

Jaune: *still muffled by sealskin* Mm-mmph, mm…?

Selkie!Pyrrha: Why, yes! Fresh fish and shellfish sounds lovely for our dinner, new husband! 😊
