    Recently, you decided to move away from Athens to settle down in the Thebian countryside, finding a nice plot of land next to a lake to build yourself a cabin to call home. It's nice to be out on your own, and away from all of the bustle of the city. It will take some time to get your internet and sattelite TV set up, however, as it will take a good day or two for a crew to come out and install those things for you. So you decide to relax for the day, sitting down on your porch with a glass of hot coco in your hands.

    You make your way out to the lake nearby, finding yourself looking at a beautiful young woman with blue skin and hair like water, tied up in two large buns that bounce as she moves. She's dancing with grace in the ankle-high water, twirling and swaying in a manner not unlike the priestesses of Athens, or the courtship dances of noblewomen. She sings in a way that is just as captivating. The water nymph seems to be dressed in short shorts and a crop top, a heart shaped hole in the chest, with a choker on her neck. She's well curved, average hight, and has full lips. You can't help but be lost in the moment for a bit, caught up in her graceful movement. All until...

    Her dance ends. The nymphis eyes open and she finally sees you. She freezes like a deer in headlights, paralyzed at the site of you. Her blue-skinned cheeks become darker, blushing at your sudden presence. Unknown to you, the girl has been watching you since you moved into your cabin home next to her lake, developing a crush on you. Now you're in front of her.

    "I... uhm..." She speaks softly, trying to find her words. "Hello..."
