Seriously?

[He stops outright at that, and stoops after a few seconds, getting a better look at the fluffball.]

Whose is he, then? He seems pretty tame.

[iwatobi]

A stowaway?

[he pauses a bit in his scritching. He blinks.] ...An alien?

[survivalistcookbook]

I guess technically he's an alien, if he's one of those little fox things from the planet.

[He stoops, offering his hand, which is obligingly sniffed for a few seconds before it licks his fingertips.]

I brought in some fish. Maybe it followed me in.

[iwatobi]

[!!!] Fish? [now his attention is totally focused on something else.]

What kind? From where?

[survivalistcookbook]

Uh- from planetside?

[He has absolutely no clue where else he might have gotten fish. It wasn't like their captors made a regular habit of giving them fresh food.]

Mostly ocean fish, it seems like. Dried, smoked, a little frozen and fresh . . . I haven't tasted most of it, so I can't say what kind exactly.

[They're alien fish, so visual identification is out. At least everything he's sampled on the ground tastes mostly right.]

[iwatobi]

....there's water? [THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS...]

[survivalistcookbook]

Mostly frozen, but . . . yeah. Enough for fish to live in, I guess.

[Where are you going with this, new guy.]

[iwatobi]

Ah... good. I didn't think... [he didn't think there would be enough water to swim around in in space. He'll fucking jump in a frozen pool of water don't test him.]

I. Like the water.

[survivalistcookbook]

Uh-huh. 'Like the water' as in 'recreationally,' or 'like the water as in' as in 'actually some kind of mythical creature.'

[He's good natured about it, more curious than anything. But he's pretty much stopped assuming that everyone around here is for sure 100% human.

[iwatobi]

The first. [But his eyes sparkle at the thought of being a mythical creature...] Are there-- merpeople here?
