[Romance] You roll a 1 (required 9). Critical failure.

You pull the seadog into a friendly hug, and introduce yourself as an explorer with a penchant for exotic creatures.

After complimenting her piscine tail, you seductively ask whether she tastes more like a dog, or like a fish.

Not a moment after you finish your sentence, you find that the seadog has vanished from the scene, leaving behind but a ripple in the sea. Too forward, maybe?
