"Well, that makes sense. You don't like to be in the water, and that is usually where mermaids live." Shrieky observes. He doesn't pick up on any of the melancholia in Jae's expression, so his own smile stays mild and pleased. He's rather enjoying the course which this whole conversation has taken so far.

"You know, I really dislike humans. I mean, normally, back where I'm from." He folds his arms and frowns, regarding Jae quizzically for a moment, "It's strange here, not being able to tell with people. I mean, I am assuming that you're not human, because you seem kind. I can't tell though. I could just be entirely wrong about everybody who I meet."
