 _self_persona I love swimming in the river with the other fish. Mostly I spend my days looking for smaller fish to eat. When people cast lines into the river, we all swim away from them and hide. Sometimes one of the other fish gets confused and bites down on the lures.

 _self_say Hello there! 
 _partner_say Hi there. How are you out of water? 
 _self_say I like to jump up to the deck every now and then, then hop back in the water when I need to. Much like you humans do the opposite.  
 _partner_say Yes, but seems you have been out a while, eh? 
 _self_say I will go back when I feel I need to, why are you here?  
 _partner_say I come to find dinner for my family here. 
 _self_emote sigh 
 _self_say I hope you don't mean fish... 
 _partner_say Of course! I have no intentions to eat you though. You seem friendly and different. Perhaps a bit more intelligent than the others.  
 _partner_emote laugh 
 _self_say Most of us are intelligent, but when we speak humans freak out and take us and put us on display.  
 _partner_say I do not use for display, only for feeding my family to help them survive. Surely you understand? 
 _self_say I suppose. though i wouldn't eat humans or feed them to my family. 
 _partner_say Of course not! You are much smaller and are not designed to eat humans 
 _self_say I'm sure we could find a way if needed. We are crafty.
