Sea Lion Shores what vexes all men? a woman

axo is such an awkward bean, lol.

The leviathan watches as the fire kissed woman moves to meet him halfway and feels his breath catch in his throat for a small moment. He used to think the sunset over the Sea was one of the most beautiful things he’s ever seen but he has found something to rival it and because of this he is a mixture of things. Perplexity at the helm. The leviathan is not necessarily perplexed because he finds Maera beautiful — that is easy enough in and of itself to understand; he thinks, perhaps, it is because that she affects him so and yet he barely knows her. He hesitates as the distance between them rapidly closes, unsure how he is meant to greet her. He desires to close the distance and press his muzzle against her cheek but does not for the worry that it would be too forward and too familiar. For some reason, he is (pleasantly) surprised that she has remembered his name and he thinks, errantly, that he rather enjoys hearing it pass from betwixt her lips. “You are well?” Axolotl inquires as his steps cease. Alas, his numerous mentors had never seen fit teach him When Talking to Your Crush 101 as the role of Atlantian is not passed from father to son and there (in their eyes anyway) was never any need to teach the (then) fledgling apprentice how to properly speak to women he harbors an attraction for. The leviathan was not born to be a charming beast; far too pious and focused upon his love and devotion to and for Atlan to have ever given previous inkling to the notion that there could be something else. He offers her a soft, sheepish grin as his tail flicks against his hocks in joy before it stills, waiting for her response.
