[You know what's not cool? Gaining eight hundred pounds over night. Yeah, no. Raph wouldn't recommend it. He also wouldn't recommend waking up in the wreckage of wooden splinters that was once your bed because it collapsed under said weight. He also wouldn't recommend waking up a giant lizard that looks all too familiar, scaring the crap out of

['Scuse her. You may be the craziest looking creature she has ever seen in her life. Freakin' out now.]

[not_gamera]

[Even worse is he may or may not be holding a half-eaten bloody deer carcass. Don't mind him. Just an afternoon snack.]

Hugh!?

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[Yeah. That helps.]

Please don't eat me, giant scaly! I'm not delicious I promise!

[She takes a step back, but trips and falls backwards. Legs? How work?]

[not_gamera]

[He turns his eyes heavenward and sighs. Yeah, he's used to that kind of reaction as a regular turtle back home. He can't really blame her for freaking out seeing him like this.

Speech, don't fail him now. He's still trying to figure out how to talk with his mouth all screwed up like this.]

'M nah gonna eat you.

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[Woahwaitwhat? It can talk? This makes things a little easier. Or weirder. Eh, both.]

...You're not a regular animal, are you?

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[He shakes his head, giving her a look that should read What, are you stupid?]

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[She'd be offended if the look didn't go right over her head. Instead she nods slowly. She sits up, trying to stand up. Her new legs wobbling, trying to find some semblance of balance.]

This is from the experiment, huh, Dino-chin?

[She figures a name will make things more calm. Or as calm as a conversation with a dinosaur/turtle with a half-eaten deer carcass in his mouth can be.]

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[He's tempted to reach out and help her stand, but he figures that won't blow over too well.]

Turtle. An' yeah.

[He tilts his head at her wobbly attempts at standing.]

You too?

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

Dino-turtle-chin? [Blink blink.]

Y-yeah. Walking is a lot harder than it looks.

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[He nods, slowly putting down the deer carcass. He attempts to reach out with his clean hand and steady her with a hand on her shoulder. If she shies away, that's okay too. He won't be offended.]

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[Oddly, she has no problem with this. She puts a hand on his, steadying herself. After a quick double-check to make sure she's properly balanced, she looks back up at him with a warm smile.]

Much better. Thank you.

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[He would smile if he could, but he doesn't try.]

You nah, uh...[He mouths the words a few times silently, trying to figure out how to make the right sounds.] hu..hun-hunin?

[Fuck, he sounds like such a moron.]

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[She cocks her head, trying to understand him.]

N-no. I'm not human.

[She squirms lightly, still not comfortable with talking about being a mermaid. She would say that she was human, if it weren't so obvious that she wasn't.]

I'm...something else.

[Action]

[not_gamera]

[Nice and not a human? That makes you cool in his book.] Me neither. 'M a turtle, uh...[He makes a gesture with his still-bloody hand, holding two fingers together to indicate size.] S-sh-shaller.

[Action]

[sea_king_bait]

[She tries to mimic his gesture, using her hands to estimate the size of an average turtle.]

...Smaller?

[Action]

[not_gamera]

Shaller, yuh. Uh...nah um... [How does he say this?] Hunin size. Talkin' turtle.
