Taizee's handshake would be untrained and not very gracious, but full of vigor and gusto, as well as way longer lasting than what is the norm among surface-dwellers. Kalkat pretty much had to retract his hand, or Tai would keep going for a minute shaking his hand up and down, all the while smiling, nodding and finally answering, "Oh! And don't worry about it! I get nervous around new people too, that's why I try to push myself to interact with them, so they aren't new people anymore! And yeah, I think we are going to become great friends too! ... Uhm... Anyways, I just wanted to make sure you were alright, and that I didn't say anything wrong, so good night! ... Though, I think you are more than welcome in the Belly of the Mermaid tonight, if you want to get some sleep on solid ground! ... It's strange, having lived my whole life in the ocean and all, being aboard a ship still feels real weird to me! It's all swaying and stuff and makes me a little dizzy, so I'm at least going to take the opportunity to sleep someplace else!"<br/><br/>By the time her awkward little spiel was over, their handshake would too, and the deep-sea mermaid would turn to leave for the harbor-master's office, still preferring the little area of water it had for aquatic species as a resting spot over a bed at the Belly of the Mermaid.<br/><br/>( I'm ready to move on as well! )
