[Rise hadn't really realized how long it'd been since she'd had a proper hug until she got one, and then it doesn't even matter why it's happening, she's just made a friend. No, Eridan, you do not get a say in this.]

You can talk to fish?

[She looks honestly impressed and interested, as if someone had just told her that they speak three languages fluently. Alien talents don't get to her nearly as much as they used to, not after watching the birds in the cage next to her trade body parts for months.]

Wait. They have fish here? How do they breathe out of water?

[And then she notices Eridan's gills, and gently reaches out to touch them, with just her fingertips.]

I bet you also have lungs or something!
