I'm sorry about this but is there anyone who wants to talk about the ocean?

[Happy now, Sherlock?? He's talking about this!!]

You mean here?

Because I found out that I shouldn't mess with a zombie mermaid.

[verboaten]

I meant in general. Here or there.

Aye, a good lesson to learn. Seeing as you're here to tell the tale, it sounds like you came out victorious in that encounter.

[scooba]

No, not really.

Um...I got bitten and was really sick for 3 days.

[verboaten]

Ah.

Well, you survived to tell the tale and can continue to explore the seas. That in itself is a victory.

[scooba]

I just think it means that I know how to fight.

[verboaten]

And you don't think that being able to fight and survive is a victory? You have the strength to face difficult foes! That strength will help you be able to continue exploring even the more treacherous waters.

[scooba]

It's just that I haven't been really fighting as of least.

But I don't know if that's a good thing or not.

[verboaten]

It's a bit of both honestly.

But I can help you out on that front if you'd ever want sparring partner to keep your skills from getting rusty.

[scooba]

I wouldn't mind.

...I just don't want to feel like I'm letting anyone down.
