He giggles. "Let's go, then!"

Hannah leads the way. Turns out navigating a pitch black abyss is hard.

Still fun. Any cool fishes?

A number of very toothy fishy, none of which make Michael very comfortable.

Toothy fish! So cool.

"Are we gonna see worms on the way to the ruins?"

"Who do you want to see ugly things?"

"Because they're cool!"

"Sunfishies are better!"

"Sure, they're cool, too. Animals are really awesome."

"But not worms!"

"Why not? They're all wormy and have teeth."

"Ewww!"

He giggles. "You know, for a rough and tough half-mer you're not all that rough and tough."

"Says the kid who freaked out over a dominance fight."

"Well I'm sorry if I'm not used to people attacking me without warning the day after I'm kidnapped from my world," he says sarcastically. "And I won, anyway."

"You cheated anyway."

"I didn't know there were rules, you just attacked me out of the blue, so."

"Who goes for the boy parts? That's just mean!"

"Attacking people without warning is mean, too, I was just defending myself!"

"Humans are silly."

"So are half-mer."

"We are the most sensible creatures."

"Really? More sensible than Miracles or full mer?"

"We are the best of both worlds."

"Until our babies!"
