His snoring filled the air carrying a cool breeze over grasslands cresting the mouth of the river that led to the vast Avalian sea. For Eros, this was his home, his freedom, and a pleasant chapter of his life that he didn’t wish to let go of. He didn’t have riches or a sense of adding any productivity to society but living in his bubble of bliss and privilege was enough for him. The monks at North Pass would have never let him take a morning nap. Hell, who knew something such as it were a thing? His only troubles these days were catching enough fish for the day and his occasional visits to Roshmi to purchase items he couldn’t make himself. Just above his head, a tiny frogly named Beebee flew about as the jingle of a bell could be heard at the bank of the river mouth. His wings buzzed with each ring of the bell that was meant to alert Eros of a hefty catch in his fishing net. Still, Eros slumbered, his chest rising and falling with each steady breath. Interestingly enough, it was the rhythmic chirp from Beebee that woke Eros. He was rather slow in waking, first, ceasing his snoring before giving his eyes a few seconds to blink themselves open. [color=goldenrod]“Bee… bee,”[/color] he said sheepishly. Eros rubbed his eyes and peered up at the pudgy chirping creature. [color=goldenrod]“Can’t you see I’m napping? And I was having such”[/color] Though he scowled, he sat himself up, finding no sense in going back to sleep since the frogfly was chirping and there was that awful bell ringing in the distance. [color=goldenrod][i]Bell? My bell? Yes, my bell![/i][/color] Eros jumped up to his feet with a lively smile, clenching his fists. [color=goldenrod]“HA! I caught something big too!”[/color] A joyous laughter escaped him as he ran down to the bank with little Beebee following behind him still chirping to the sound of the bell. [color=goldenrod]“Sell or eat? What do you think I should do, Beebee?”[/color] He asked as he approached the rattling bell hanging from a rope tied to both a sturdy tree trunk and the net in the water. [color=goldenrod]“Heh…”[/color] Eros gripped the rope with both hands before he pulled in his catch, hand over hand. The excitement continued to build within his fuzzy chest as he felt the weight of his potential next meal. Beebee seemed to cheer him on but was simply chirping over his shoulder. The dorsal fin of the creature could be seen first, making Eros widen his eyes even further. At that moment, he made his decision. He’d fill his belly with this prize and resume his nap until the next catch of the day. The dark blue scales indicated it could be tuna. No wonder it was so big. Bearing his teeth, Eros’ fur bristled as he pulled the fish from the river with all of his might. However, his expression starkly changed to one of wonder as he noticed the pale skin, arms, hands, fingers, head, and head of his tasty tuna. Narrowing his eyes, he walked over to the exhausted merwoman trapped in his net. [color=goldenrod]“You’re supposed to be a tuna. What are you doing in my net, fish lady?”[/color] He asked as he raised an eyebrow. [color=goldenrod]“Fish lady? Hmm… How does it go? How does it go? Umm… Have fun in the morning with… No, that’s not it. Beware of glows at night? No not that either.”[/color] He said as his amber eye met hers.[/color] [Hider=TLDR][color=silver]Eros wakes from his morning nap due to his frogfly companion alerting him to a fresh catch in his fishing net. Excited about the good news, the monkey man happily ventures down to retrieve his catch. Once he pulls his net in, he find himself perplexed by the sight of a mermaid.[/color][/hider]
