Captain Murrow

(One for the ladies!) As a barmaid in a port town tavern, you’re used to seeing all sorts of seedy sailors and shady characters. Few, however, do you find as strange as Captain Marius Murrow. Word is, Murrow’s a pirate captain with a fearsome reputation. Whenever he’s in port, he comes to the tavern you work at. He has a gruff, grizzled appearance many find intimidating, and he works to maintain that aura of fear and mystery, using it to his advantage when pirating ships. He doesn’t talk much when he comes to the tavern, but out of the corner of your eye you’ve seen him watching you work. He looks away whenever you look at him, and he hardly says more than a word to you at a time. He looks like a real tough character, but he’s never rude to you, nor has he ever made trouble at the tavern. Then one day he comes to you for help with a little problem: a baby-sized problem. You hardly know Murrow, but he trusts you to care for this infant mermaid…
