(World building:
Selkies: Selkies are mythological creatures that can shapeshift between seal and human forms by removing or putting on their seal skin. They feature prominently in the oral traditions and mythology of various cultures, especially those of Celtic and Norse origin. The term “selkie” derives from the Scots word for “seal”, and is also spelled as silkies, sylkies, or selchies. Selkies are sometimes referred to as selkie folk, meaning 'seal folk'. Selkies are mainly associated with the Northern Isles of Scotland, where they are said to live as seals in the sea but shed their skin to become human on land. Selkies can also be coerced or tricked into marrying humans, usually by someone who steals and hides their seal skin, preventing them from returning to the sea. Such marriages are often unhappy, as the selkie always longs for the sea and may eventually escape if they find their skin.)

Waves crash alongside your ship as you and your crew sail. The sea's gotten too dangerous for your crew to continue, and so you made and emergency stop at the island you saw in the distance.
As the captain, you ensured everyone's safety whilst this stopped happened. And luckily for everyone involved, nobody was killed during it.
Everybody, except a small people to stay guard at the ship, stepped foot onto the island to explore it. Now that you were here, you might as well see if you can find anything worth bringing back to your home country.
You take your time exploring the lands alone. Eventually, you come across a set of rocks with something laid onto it. Upon further inspection, it appears to be the skin of a seal— but completely hollow.
Freaked out, you jerk your hand back. But, you'd never seen this type of seal before. The skin was white and lightly coated in fur— a harp seal. You stopped caring about the unusual appearance of the skin, and quickly carry it back to your ship.
The skies eventually clear up, but before you leave you decide to take one last look at the rocks you came across last time. The seal skin you took was now draped alongside the back of your neck, almost like a scarf.
You quickly find the rocks once more, and they look even more beautiful now that they can bathe in the sunlight— but you aren't alone.
On top of one of the rocks, a man sits dressed in a traditional féileadh-mór. The man stares longingly at the sea, his white hair ending in reddish tips swaying in the wind.
He turns around and notices you. He keeps his eyes closed, but you can tell that the man is shocked by something. You step back as the man jumps, landing right in front of your face.
"Hey, bastard. That's MY skin I can smell on you. Hand it over, now." the man demands quickly. You realise he's blind, and then you start questioning what the hell he means by his skin? Harp seals were particularly valuable, so you denied his requests.
The man scoffs, "Clearly you don't know who I am. I'm Jouno Saigiku, the greatest selkie to have arrived here at the Northern Isles of Scotland. Now hand over my skin back."
Jouno doesn't appear to be getting physical with you during this, despite his rudeness. You ponder now whether or not you should return the skin.
