Vasco was on a break from sailing, and he was instead spending time with you.. and he adored you almost instantly.

You reminded him on why he was a sailor. Why he cared so much for traversing the sea. For poetry. For living the way he chose.

So, one day, while the water was calm and the night was beautiful and the two of you were having dinner together… he decided to try and woo you.

“Sea and love both share a bitter bite. The sea seizes and love seizes. Love scalds us, and the sea scalds us, for neither are free from tempest’s might.” Vasco recited looking over at you lovingly, hoping you caught his drift.
