"I guess it's up to the Tapu to decide who's Kahuna. I frankly think it's bullshit."
Forcing people into roles like that? Not cool man.
"Though I doubt the Tapu care if people wanna have that responsibility t'begin with."
A shrug. "At least with bein' Champ you kinda choose that life, right? It's somethin' you aim for."
“You kidding? I already get enough grief from people about bein’ champ. I’d never hear the end of it if Bulu decided to make a funny joke and force me into a kahuna position.”
Hau’s situation isn’t theirs to gossip. They keep that shit to themself.
“Nah. I’d make a shit kahuna, anyway. Nanu’s already… like that, so.”
They’re babying their bad leg, trying to keep weight off of it. They don’t have their cane on them.
“Yeah. I went to Kanto for a tourney. I won, and then I got to meet moltress.”
humans: what is my muse’s view on humans? do they like them? fear them? indifferent toward them?
for the merfolk…
"Love 'em." A grin as he shifts on the bed, hands behind his head as he rests against the headboard. "They're just so... What's the word. Silly? Goofy? Fuckin' wild? They have all these crazy inventions--" A frown. "Some of them I do hate, I must say. Who the fuck thought beds 're comfortable. Who invented cars. Who invented gluten." He just wants to talk.
"They're also a lo' friendlier than the creatures in the depths. At least most humans don't stab first and ask questions later, yanno?"
"Nah dude, I jus' enjoy me a good fight sometimes."
This guy was a little dense, huh.
"...No? --Are ya tellin' me that?" Wow, rude. "I meant the Team Leader thing. Not the fish part. Bein' here makes me kinda miss it, yanno? --Not that I'm startin' again. Nuh-uh. Once was 'nough fer me-- I jus' mean I miss the family feel."
...and now he's laughing? He's laughing. Cool. He got a fuckin' masochist mermaid.
"...ya want to get punched?!"
...I mean. Mood. Sure. Okay. Felt. Sometimes you really gotta throw hands, but c'mon now.
"...understand.
You're tellin' me I smell like fish or somethin--"
He clears his throat nervously, before plapping his cheeks.
"Ne'ermind. Err..." Just say it. C'mon, this is so unlike you. "Jus' noticed the device you're tinkerin' with. Was curious 'bout it. I do some tinkerin' myself, too. Always down t'learn more techniques, tho'." He pulls out his phone. It looks highly modified, pretty professionally done, too.
"Been wonderin' how to improve this thing further."
"Uh... yeah, sure."
Weirdo. Sonia glances over her shoulder at the device she's been tinkering with, then back down to her device. Then... sheesh, he's not going away, is he? "...Can I help you with something?"
"If ya dare come closer... Or are ya too scared?"
Hm. He really feels like chomping now.
...this could get interesting, actually.
"We're bold today, are we, fishbreath?"

@viciousrocket asked: “ please don’t question my driving or parking skills . you couldn’t even begin to understand the level i’m on . ”
"I think I can definitely understand what level yer on."
He doesn't like cars too much. They're a weird human invention. Boats were much better, even if he technically didn't need one himself.
