Quack swam around trying to find a ship she could steal away on. They had been struck with the sticky fingers illness as of late and some people were looking for them. So to hide from ever present eyes Duck has been flopping around in the ocean. They were starting to get a little lonely floating along Bill was always good company but he wasn't the greatest conversationalist.
Not too far off Ducky spotted a light. They were stunned for a moment how could they have not seen that before? Well they were blessed with the stupid. Speeding off like a torpedo they bee-lined for the light and the eventually found themself underwater. In a merfolk settlement! It was bustling and full of all kinds of merfolk! Quack excitedly looked around and decided it was probably best to go get some food. It had been a while since they ate having stranded themselves at sea. Settling into a tavern she looked around and saw a group of people whispering while looking at her. One of them even gave her a small wave. Giving a grin and a hearty wave in return caused the group to stir even more. Oblivious Duck went over to them and plopped down. Pushing her bangs back she flashed them a smile and leaned it.
"Anything good to eat around here?"
3 faces turned red but one spoke up the best they could.
"N-I mean yes! Ar-are you from around here?"
The person cleared their throat while nervously trying to make eye contact.
"Not really. Would you do the favor of ordering for me?"
Quack was handed something that looked like a liquid in a cup. Fascinating! How did it stay in there when they were in water?! Taking the glass they slid it over to the person who had spoken.
"Here, for your throat."
They made a move to stand and the group halted. Duck wondered if they were scared of getting stuck with her bill.
"I'm just going to use the powder room, don't miss me too much okay?"
Laughing she went and asked the keep to show what the direction the loo was in. A person from the group she had just left claimed to need to go too. So they followed quickly behind. As soon as they were out of ear shoot from the group the person nearly burst with questions.
"How did you do that?! Where did you learn to be like that? Do people always act like that around you?"
Quack who actually needed to pee just stared at them confused.
"Act like what? I don't understand."
The person stared back at Quack incredulously. Then they looked kind of frustrated.
"They were fawning over you!"
Duck's eyes squinted with further confusion. What were they talking about?
"I. I don't understand."
The person scoffed and stamped their foot.
"THEY THINK YOU'RE HOT!"
Like being hit with the most important information of their life Quack's eyes grew wide. They grabbed the person by the shoulders and had a very serious look on their face.
"I'm hot?"
"Well, yeah..." The person reluctantly gave their face burning.
"WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME?!"
Completely forgetting any previous bodily needs Quack burst back into the main tavern area and scurried to the table. There sat a pristine plate of food. Sitting down Quack took a bite and was flooded with satisfaction. They had been so freaking hungry! However they couldn't just dive in they needed to test something. Looking up at the person that they asked to order for them they smiled brightly.
"I just knew you would have good taste." Duck delivered with a wink.
The person got jittery as they began to blush again. In awe Duck wondered how long they were missing these signs. HOW COULD THEY HAVE MISSED THEY WERE HOT! Quack was now able to properly see how nervous the one person was and how another person seemed dejected and maybe slightly jealous. Wait have people always shown on their face if they thought Quack was hot? OOOOO! This was about to change the whole game. Gleefully eating her food she wondered how much of a menace she could be now she knew she was hot.
