[ Ed makes a vague eugh face as he watches Nanaue's thick finger wiggle in the hole. Not sure what's being made here, but he'll let it proceed.

He's still watching that finger when he says, with an inching sense of trepidation as to where Nanaue might take this conversation, ] Shark love...friend? Holding hands. Telling each other your day. Knowing exactly how your shark friend takes his seaweed tea. Stuff like that.

[ Is he projecting? Maybe a little.

He thinks Nanaue's feelings are valid. Seal and shark love and all. It's sort of romantic, when you think about it, and maybe he, like, misses having romance in his life? It sucks to lose your best friend and forget all about him. ]

[ When Ed goes eugh Nanaue stops for a second, then adds a second finger to his pantomiming fingers-in-hole, as though this might help.

Love friend... holding hands...

He stops jamming his fingers into his finger-hole and stares at Ed for another long moment, gears turning. Then, he lowers his arms and nods. ]

SWIM DEEEEEP. NOT TALK, WE LIKE LAY IN SAND. DARK AND SOOOOFT. PLAY WITH ROCKS. DANCE! EAT FISH. LIKE THAT?

[ No seaweed tea, though. ]

[ That does not help, Nanaue.

Ed's expression takes on a forlorn look. He, too, remembers laying in the sand and eating fish and dancing. For a long moment, he's uncharacteristically quiet. Then he perks back up, like he's made a decision. ]

My shark-footed friend— [ Ed places a hand on Nanaue's shoulder earnestly and squeezes. ] —we're gonna get you the love of your life back. I promise.

[ He'll do whatever it takes. ]
