[Audio, first evening parked by the river]

Okay, uh, people should probably not try to go swimming in the river. Just to warn you.

[She makes an annoyed noise.]

I turned into a fish person. Like I have gills now and webbed feet and it's awful. So just, you know, be careful and don't just jump in like an idiot.

[Like she did. She adds, mostly in a mutter, but still broadcasting,]

The plants said as much and I didn't listen. They warned me not to put my roots too deep. Ugh. So stupid.

Sorry. Is this a low tide in your life?

[He’s thinking he can get that laugh out of her.]

Re: audio;

[mytearsaremine]

You are terrible.

[Not quite, but it's clearly close in her voice.]

It's not funny!

[faceguy]

You’re right, you’re right - it’s not finny at all.

[One more for good measure.]

Can you at least get back out of the river?

[mytearsaremine]

[She makes a strangled sound that's close to a laugh.]

Yeah, I'm out. It didn't try to keep me in or anything. I'm in my car now.

[Which is where she'd left her radio.]

[faceguy]

Hey, that’s good. Now we don’t have to drive you around in a massive tank or something.

[Like he and Natsuhi had been talking about before.]

I’m already an aquatic turtle… I’m kinda curious about what the river would do to me, hah.

[mytearsaremine]

Yeah, I could have an actual fish tail and have to either swim to follow everyone, or just... sit in the back of someone else's car while they drive.

Anyway, I'm just saying, if you want to go and try it out, I'm not stopping you, but you might not like what happens.

[faceguy]

See? Every fish has a silver scale.

I'll stay dry for now, but if you see me later with some new additions you'll know what happened.

[mytearsaremine]

And I'll know to tell you I told you so.

[Then, slightly more seriously:]

You're doing okay, right? Not being turned into a fish person and all.

[faceguy]

[Augh no, he never likes it when serious voice is turned on him.]

Yeah, same turtle as ever. Are you alright besides the whole fish person thing?

[mytearsaremine]

[Sorry, dude, Jolie is occasionally serious.]

I was a little freaked out when it happened, but I'm okay now, yeah.

[faceguy]

Cool. Well, let me know if you need anything, like... a fishbowl, or something.

[mytearsaremine]

Imagine me sticking my tongue out at you right now. Because that's definitely what I'm doing.

[And she makes a noise like she's a five year old doing exactly that.]

[faceguy]

[Leo laughs and makes his own five-year-old tongue-sticking-out noise from his side of the line.]
