[Congratulations! You've just acquired a boat full of valuables. Either you filled your own boat with valuables, or you bought one, or whatever. SHIP FULL OF STUFF.

Of course when you go down into it, there's.. a lot of stuff missing. Coinage, jewelry, expensive liquor, anything that can be easily carried.

And the culprit is working his way out of a hole in the side of the ship, just barely large enough for him to fit through, and just barely above the water level.]

B

[Do you like fishing.

It's pretty relaxing, right. Well, when you pull in your line, there's a fucking kid on your hook, or in your neck.

Either way, he looks extraordinarily unhappy.

C

[Or whatever I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING.]

Mm, such a good rival. The kind you fight and struggle with and who tries to beat you, but always finds his way back into your bed.

[And who has never, ever won.]

That's rivalry, too.

I should think so! I wish I could sleep with all of my rivals. Well, all of the attractive ones anyway.

[I hope some of them have better success ratios than me.]

At least we're agreed there.

[Alas, they do.]

Now then. We're still moored, and will be for the foreseeable future while your mistakes get fixed. What will I do with you?

I-I am sure I could. Find some way to make money.

I'll pay you extra for some sex if you'll fistfight me first.

[She is simultaneously irritated by his everything, vindictive, and also thinks he's being really cute right now.]

...

Promise not to collect any teeth I lose.

This time.

It's fine, I already have the necklace.

I was hoping you didn't keep that.

It's good to have around, in case I need to put a curse on you.

Now, go ahead and punch me.

[He rears back and does, hitting her in the stomach cause.. well. Height.

And, well. I mean it's not NICE, but outside of his neck and jaws he's not ridiculously strong. A good bit stronger than a human would be, but sharks are known for stamina, not power. Mostly.]

[Well, it does hurt a little, but it's not as exciting as she'd hoped. Not that she's surprised, this is about where he'd been at before. She responds by decking him in the jaw.]

[He head snaps back and he stumbles backwards... of course as soon as his hand touches the ground he's off like a little missile, trying to tackle her at the knees and use the fact she's way taller than him against her to knock her legs out from under her.]

[She doesn't quite fall, but she does stumble back, off balance. She tries to bring her knee up to knock him off. She's purposely not using her tentacles yet.]

[She does knock him off, but he's a persistent little bugger and back at her, trying to get his arms around both her legs and just sort of pull them up from under her.]

[Her legs turn into tentacles, two tightly gripping the deck, and one more lashing out to slap him away.]

[Okay, now he sweats.

...How do you knock over someone who can stick to the floor.]

Uh.

[She can still be bowled over! It's just tough. The element of surprise helps. She shifts a leg back and kicks him in the gut.]

Haven't you gotten better at all?

[He's heaved off the ground with a HOOF sound, but keeps hold of her leg, trying to pull her over with it.]

Sharks are strongest in the water! [Or at least he is.]

So are octopi, you moron.

[She does in fact fall backward, hitting the ground with an awkward and heavy thud, but transforms her arms entirely into tentacles, which lash out to pummel him while he's grabbed on.]

It's different!

[He indeed gets smacked by the tentacles, almost comically, but decides it's probably smarter to try and lock and twist her leg than attempt to win a fist fight with someone twice his size.]

[FUCK IT, she just decides to turn entirely into a giant octopus now, easily slipping his grasp and tightly wrapping around him.]

Hey no fair, this was supposed to be a fist fight!

You've never had me this form, have you?

[Her voice is weird and distorted on account of. Being an octopus.]
