i see ur mer soap and i raise you: great white mer!price trying to court a thresher shark mer and getting very persistent, even amused when said thresher uses her tail to express her annoyance with him, treating it as part of their little game as he continues following her around. yeah he gets whipped a lot, thats just how his mate shows her love smh
So I read about shark mating for this and found that males will often bite females to get them in the right position (this is usually gentle in attempt, but can sometimes be very injuring anyways). The female will produce pheromones preceding this to attract a mate.
I think that as a result, a male shark mer is much more willing to take some physical aggression from a female, because he knows the mating will likely be a bit rough. Besides, you know what’s more permanent than jewelry? Scars. I imagine shark mers are very proud of the scars they get from courting and mating.
And Price is sooooo the man that likes breaking in a wild mare when he picks out a partner. He thrives on these games— nothing worth doing is ever easy. And he knows what’s won through patience will far outlast what’s won through violent impulse.
Not to mention, he likes your wariness and willingness to fight. It means you’ll make a good mother to his pups.
