I didn't almost die in the forest, I just forgot to eat. There was a lot going on. I'm still upset that I couldn't drag that fin all the way back to the city.

[It was too big, and he didn't want to stay transformed that long...besides, it would have been all dirty from being left out in the sun and being dragged...a real loss.]

Hey...who needs a tour guide? Wouldn't it be more fun to explore it just the two of us? We can ask someone in town to help us if we get too lost. It'll be like a mini-adventure, only this time without the boat. You can even bring your wife.

[Isn't he generous (and confused?). His ears flick a little. It's a fun, exciting idea, right???]
