Where you compliment the hunter to distract him

Based off IDV

The Businessman, or Azul as it's shorter, is a very tricky hunter. He will come up behind you stealthily and whack at you with his cane. Or maybe you'll find yourself decoding, and a contract will shine in front of you freezing your movements. Whatever it was nothing was worse when he switched to his merform. Although he was confined to the water, it didn't affect his range. On the plus side, Azul could only switch to his octoform once per match.

So, when he switched into his merform in the middle of the Moonlit River Park. Well, that was unfortunate. What was more unfortunate was the fact that Edgar the Painter and Emma, our gardener, were pushing you to the bridge.

"I really don't want to go," you squeaked, trying to get out of their grasp.

"You need to buy us some time!" Edgar huffed. Tracy gave a worried smile.

"Should we really be doing this?"

"Tracy, just get your dummy to decode," Emma snapped back. "I haven't escaped a match in a while and if we need to sacrifice someone for it, then so be it."

Emma was understandably upset. If you didn't escape matches, no one will help you in the next. They might not even pair up with you.

"But is this reasonable? Edgar, please, tell me you're smart enough to realize how stupid this is," you pleaded to Edgar. You could see conflicting emotions flash through his eyes and hopefully clasped his arm.

"Sorry, [Name]," He sighed. Edgar wasn't completely to blame. Emma pushed for them to vote up a sacrifice to distract Azul.

Finally, you gave in, "Alright what do I do?"

"Think of something," Emma whispered. You glanced over the bridge to see the meroctopus swimming in circles at a slow speed. When you turned your head back to your teammates, they were nowhere to be found. Something cold wet and slimy wrap around your arms and toppled you into the river.

You failed underwater, trying to reach the surface. Something firm and strong wrapped around your waist, pulling you out into the air. You gasped, coughing and shivering. You looked down to see a tentacle, holding you. Slowly, your gaze followed it to where it ended. Blue eyes met your [e/c-colored] eyes. Azul smirked at his catch and was prepared to take you to a chair.

"You're pretty," you spoke without thinking. Azul's face flushed while he nearly dropped you.

"What?" He squawked. His tentacles writhed probably from embarrassment, but you were too mesmerized with his merform. You laid your hand on the tentacle holding you and curiously examined it.

"This is so cool! I have never seen you like this before!" You giggled gently tracing the suckers on the underside of the appendage. Now, he dropped you.

You surfaced and swam over to Azul with bright eyes. He, on the other hand, didn't want you anywhere near him. You quickly used your skill which forced you to Azul. You should have calculated where to aim it more carefully, becuase you were sent flying into Azul, whose appendages rose to either block himself or to catch you. One of them caught you by the foot and hung you upside down.

"You could have hurt yourself," Azul folded his arms.

"Do you have to stay in water all of the time?" You asked as he gently lowered you.

"Huh, w-well no," he responded, "I have to be in water."

"Aww, that's a shame," you sulked, "Your skin is really moist and smooth." The red cheeks appeared again, and you smirked, "You're so smart and powerful." Your flattering words embarrassed him further. "And good-looking." Azul froze at your last words. You slapped your hand to your mouth, "I did it again."

Sirens wailing broke the two of you from your little playtime. You worriedly looked to Azul who was dealing with internal conflicts.

"Fine," he huffed, avoiding your eyes and wrapping his tentacles around you. "Just this once." He lifted you and placed you back on the bridge before climbing out himself and switching to his human form. You beamed and jumped on him, hugging the hunter. Azul stumbled backwards with arms hanging in the air. He patted your head and pushed you away.

"I'll see you again, Zul," you sneakily kissed his cheek and used his shocked expression to your advantage. Running towards the exit, you met up with the other who congratulated your escape. You looked forward to be against the merman in future matches.
