"Shower sounds good, you look chilly."

"I am."  Is it wrong to be chilly???  "Wow my brain is very scattershot at the moment.  Bed soon sounds good.  Even if it's after a shower."

"Sure, swim trunks shower and bed. Have we exhausted the island mermaid dungeon, should I come up with another one?"

"I too would like to see the pictures but maybe tomorrow morning.  Or afternoon.  Um, if there's more to say about it I would hear it?  Did it have any tiny sea creatures that weren't mermaids."

"Tiny ones specifically? There was bioluminescent algae but I don't remember fish or anything, just toothy mermaids."

"I guess I was imagining a tiny ecosystem except for big mermaids which could jumpscare you.  But I guess I don't know whether the islands and grottos were enormous miniatures or just regular-scale and kinda little?"

"The islands had moss on them but it was normal for moss, and they were each like, five, six feet across." They will have to separate briefly to get into swim trunks in privacy but Haru can just talk a little louder. "The mermaids were full sized, on the big side where the anatomy compared straight across and with very long tails. The grottos were big enough to contain a person but not super comfortably and didn't have notably miniaturized stalactites or anything."

"That's really cool.  Were the mermaids like - this is a really weird question but were they more like colorful or like gray.  I feel like in art of mermaids people who're trying to make them scary sometimes make them gray and like, anglerfishy, do you know what I mean?"

"I don't know that I've looked at enough art of mermaids to come to a conclusion. They were colorful, spots and stripes all over them, kinda reminded me of lionfish."

Haru could just say he thinks Julien is a flaming homosexual.  "Wow, my brain is really putting out a last hurrah.  The mermaids sound cool.  Do you have any stories of - dungeons where things went wrong, but not like super duper wrong, and how you dealt with it and what protocols you used to make it turn out okay?"
