The raid is over within minutes, the enemy ship under your crew's control. As the remaining pirates are rounded up, he flashes you a grin and nods toward the lower deck. "Think you can handle the last few, love? I'll be there in a minute."

Once the deck is secure, he heads below to help. Before he reaches the room, a haunting melody drifts through the corridor—beautiful enough to make him stop in his tracks. He should've been entranced like the others.

Instead... he isn't.

He quietly pushes the door open.

Inside, the remaining enemy pirates stand motionless, their weapons abandoned at their feet, their empty gazes fixed solely on you. Unaware he was there, you continue singing, each note weaving around them like an invisible command. Somehow, the song washes over him without taking hold; his heart already hopelessly claimed by the very voice trying to enchant everyone else.

The melody fades, and you turn.

Only to find him standing in the doorway, staring at you in stunned silence.

"...Lass?" he breathes.
