6th Piece of Eight | Action

[andallaretrue]

[Today, there is a sea goddess out along the edges of the lake. No surprise there, although anyone who had the misfortune of coming across her during the last experiment will be relieved to see that she's no longer tentacly

[forthezora]

[And Ruto steps outside!

...To see this. How is she collecting so many crabs? And can she have them for dinner?]

[andallaretrue]

[How? Probably a goddess thing. As for whether or not she can have them for dinner well... maybe some of them.]

An' you as well, I see.

[forthezora]

That is... impressive.

[Ruto's going to walk on over here. This is interesting...]

[andallaretrue]

Dey cannot take everything, for all dey have tried.

[The crabs turn to look at her as she draws nearer. Whether or not there's any curiosity behind it is... unclear.]

[forthezora]

[In Ruto's experience of crabs she's caught to eat... they're kinda stupid. But maybe that's because they were the ones that got caught]

They?

[andallaretrue]

[Maybe. Maybe not. The crabs aren't telling though.]

Our captors. De Malnosso.

[That last word is nearly a hiss.]

[forthezora]

Ah... of course.

[...Huh. A lot of crabs there though]

[andallaretrue]

De last remnant of my domains.

[Presumably she means the crabs.]

[forthezora]

[...Hm]

It must be... trying.

[andallaretrue]

It is what I can do here. An' dey are eager to help, though I cannot say how useful dey will be.

[forthezora]

[...Ruto decides that it wouldn't be tactful to take one for dinner right now]

I see. That is fortunate.

[andallaretrue]

De small things. Dat is what I have been left with.

[forthezora]

[...Ruto is not sure how to handle this. The seas are here seeming a little depressed and here she, her housemate, is here. And there are crabs. ...Jeez]

Even so, it is still impressive.

[andallaretrue]

It will help, in de long run.

[forthezora]

I am certain it will.

[andallaretrue]

[She smiles at that]

Even if dey cannot number enough to move a ship.
