*He started to nod, but then shrugged.* "Ye-er actually, only kind of. There's destination. I'm only trying to map out a better place for my village." *He said, frowning a bit.* "They live, I guess *We* Live in a really dangerous place. Not much food, a lotta big sharks. Even the fish are scary." *He said, some huge fish with strange appendages briefly crossed his mind, causing him to shudder.* "Anyways, what about your tribe? Nomads yeah? Wish that was us, I'm lucky I even left the village safely."
Maureen
*Torren nods, looking both understanding and concerned. His tribe has traveled to the deep seas once, and only once. He's- or rather, they're- familiar with the dangers that Rhone is describing. There's a reason they don't go near that place anymore. Not a lot of quarry but plenty of dangers, not exactly the best hunting grounds.* "Yeah, we usually just move around to wherever there's food. But, y'know, that also means we don't really have a 'home'. Or, I guess the entire ocean is our home!" *Torren throws his arm out wide, grinning ear to ear.* "Buuut, I'm kinda travelling away from home too in my own way."
Lawrence
*Rhone tilted his head to the side.* "Yeah? I guess we have something in common, yeah?" *He said, smiling a bit.* "Where are you going? Maybe I could tag along, since I'm not going anywhere specific." *He suggested, maybe it could help him find a place for his village to go. He smiled at the idea forming in his head. Maybe he could find a place to live, and he would be making a friend.*
Maureen
"Oh? Hmmm, maybe you can but um..." *Torren rubbed his wrist.* "I'm going to the land. Deep lands. I'm looking for new things to hunt up there." *A friend from the seas tagging along with him sounded wonderful. Torren would love to travel and hunt with this new friend, but he can't help but worry. Rhone had been living in the deep. He's probably not as used to travelling as Torren was. Not to mention that going on land is a big change from the sea. In fact, that was why Torren was down here in the first place. He wanted to say goodbye to the sea before travelling deeper inland. He doesn't know when he can come back to sea, so he'll relish every opportunity he has.*
Lawrence
"Land? Woah." *Rhone said, looking up again.* "Maybe you're right, I should stay here a little longer.." *He said, somewhat disappointed, but he had never been, so it probably wasn't a great idea to go waltzing off to somewhere he had never been with someone he just met.* "Never been up there, I haven't even touched ground before." *He said, a little sheepish.* "It would be nice to go there on my own time though.." *He trailed off, thinking.
Maureen
"Yeah... Sorry..." *Torren looked a bit sad himself. He understood Rhone had different goals in mind. Going to land might not be the best. But maybe he can at least brighten up the mood a little?* "But it's okay though. Land isn't that great a place. It's so... *Heavy*. And weird. Did you know people up there wear... Air armor? They call it 'clothes'. They don't protect you from land fish bites or anything, they just protect you from air current!" *Torren prattled on, incredulous. He spoke like the entire concept of clothes itself is strange to him. Which it is! After all, he had never found the need to protect himself from water currents. If the water is too warm or too cold, they move away to better waters, simple as that.*
Lawrence
"Air?" *Rhone said, that was what the landfolk breathed, right? He had seen air in bubbles underwater?* "How can a place be heavy?" *He asked, laughing. Maybe it was like the difference between the shallows and the trenches, like water pressure.* "Clothes seem weird. I personally don't like wearing armor though either." *He said, shrugging and gesturing down at himself. He had some arm guards, but that was about it, he didn't have much of a need for clothes (with his tail).* "They have currents too? I thought those were only underwater." *He said, a bit cluelessly.*
Maureen
"I didn't think it would be either since it's like... Like being in a huuuuge bubble? But it's... Heavy! Down here we can move so easily in whatever way we want." *He flails his arms around, moving him slightly to the right and up to emphasize his point.* "But up there, you need to have those... Those pair of hard tails. It feels like you have an octopus pulling you down to the sand all the time." *Torren seems very excited to share his knowledge of land with his new friend. The land people won't understand his confusion as much as a fellow Treton would. That kind of stuff is normal for the landfolk!* "And yea, they have currents too! But they call it... Umm... Win...?"
Lawrence
"Win." *He said, with a little smirk.* "That's a funny name. I heard Gus(t), so I guess it's not too bad." *Rhone let out a small laugh.* "Landfolk are weird." *He said simply, laughing again.* "Why can't they just call it currents? It sounds much nicer than win." *He looked towards the shore, he could tell they were close because of the waves crashing overhead.* "I can't believe you've been up there! Tell me more!" *He pleaded, excited to learn more.* "It's be real cool to forage plants up there. Tell me they have plants."
Maureen
"I know right?" *Torren is ecstatic. Finally someone gets it! The landfolk he tries to talk to usually just look at him funny when he says the air is so heavy. They think the water is heavier, but you get so much more freedom in the water!* "They have weird names for things. Oh, yes they do have plants! They're a bit different from our plants. They look like... Like if kelp used corals as armour! Well, some of them don't... But these really big ones do! And..." *Torren scratched his cheek, trying to recall what else the landfolk told him.* "They usually like eating these things from the plants. They call it 'fruit'. It's like a... A seed pod? But you eat the seed pod and not the seeds."
Lawrence
*Rhone listened in slight awe.* "Wow! That's so weird, fruit? Have you ever had it? Is it good? It sounds so cool!" *He droned on about what it would be like to live above water.* "I do personally think down here is better. They're not tied to the ground, we can swim and float around. And I just saw a tropical reef, they're beautiful!." *Rhone said, laughing.* "It makes me wonder why you would want to leave the ocean." *He said, shaking his head a bit.* "Do tell me."
Maureen
"I have! I had a few but they had so many different types, I haven't tried them all yet!" *Torren giggled and wiggled his tail in excitement.* "I know, I loooove the ocean. It's my home! But they have such different food, and I really really wanted to try land kelp and land fish. Near the shore, they just serve the usual, though." *Torren huffs. Sure there are some landfood restaurants here and there but they were still mostly seafood. Seafood is nice, but he wanted landfood!* "The landfolk said there's more landfood deeper inland, and that's why I'm going!"
