My oyster?

[...they do not. But he can hazard I guess]

...I can take my time now, though.

[competing]

Exactly! You can do whatever you want, whenever you want! You're your own master now!

[inaurare]

[a little trickle of laughter against the last of his popsicle]

Well, we shall see. It may be that I'm ill equipped for freedom. Perhaps a bird kept in a cage for too long forgets how to fly.

[competing]

[ perhaps linneus meant it in jest, but lance can't help but grow a little somber at that. ]

Maybe...

But hey — you just learned how to swim. How hard can flying be after that?

[inaurare]

But perhaps all that does is make me a fish!

[competing]

You won't know until you try! Have you ever heard of puffins? Those guys can swim and fly. It's totally possible to do both.

[inaurare]

Puffings...

[no, he hasn't.]

I shall have to learn of these.

[competing]

Oh.

Well.

They're real things, I swear!

[inaurare]

You shall have to point me to a book about them.

[for birds to fly and swim; that is quite fascinating!]

Though there are many animals I don't know about. I learned about jelly-fish today. Or rather, I learned they exist..

[competing]

[ lance is just opening you up to a whole new world aint he ]

Oh yeah? Yeah, they're nasty little guys. But it's all part of what I said — respect the ocean, and you'll be okay.

[inaurare]

[a dazzling place he never knew]

It's just that my knowledge of such things is quite lacking. I only hear stories...

[as such, he's less than sure of their reliability, though they make for good tales]

Undersea leviathans and the like that can swallow men and ships whole...

[competing]

Oh... Well I'm sure those things exist too.

[ rip earth, but your oceans were truly something terrifying. ]

Though I wouldn't know what's around here... I never really thought to look too much into it, heh.

[ you won't catch this beach boy in some library... not for fun, anyway. ]

[inaurare]

I shall have to read up, then.

[he's happy to do that - he will enjoy learning about strange new things!]

Perhaps there are more interesting creatures to find - other than jelly fish, I mean.
