Robins_Egg_18: I think it's difficult to explain to someone who doesn't exist in a similar way. At least, I don't have the eloquence to articulate it. My apologies.
Robins_Egg_18: When you go swimming, it might be a good idea to bring someone with you.
Robins_Egg_18: I'm sure the water will be refreshing for the rest of Robin's Egg, too.

Bootyyyshaker9000: It may not matter regardless. I've never understood emotions the way others do.
Bootyyyshaker9000: It could be, but there are predators in the water.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I've tasted blood in an area that's too big to not have an apex predator present.

Robins_Egg_18: Blood? Are you alright?

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: I'm a mutant ninja turtle. An aquatic turtle. I move better underwater than I do land.
Bootyyyshaker9000: I didn't run into it, but the area with blood meant a lot of fish died at once. That means a feeding frenzy, either from a swarm, or something large, but either one is a very serious threat when most drown in less then five minutes and move like they're half intoxicated.

Robins_Egg_18: Ah, you meant literally tasting blood. I understand.
Robins_Egg_18: Then it's dangerous after all . . . that's a shame. Lakes and rivers can be quite soothing to be around.

Bootyyyshaker9000: Yes. Breathing underwater means doing it through my mouth and then I taste everything. It's a whole process.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Unfortunately. Any beach days will likely mean I would have to focus on being a lifeguard, just to be safe.
Bootyyyshaker9000: Though, thoughtful hum, we could make barriers. Underwater walls the river is high enough to get over, but make it inconvenient for a large predator to do so. If we add nets on top, it could corral them to specific parts.

Robins_Egg_18: Is that something we could do while we're in this state?

[othellovonryan]

Bootyyyshaker9000: I could. Like I have stated, being underwater is soothing. That would counter most of my ailments. I can fight effectively underwater. There could be people on the land, ready to aid should it be necessary, or to keep an eye out for disturbances to find their locations.
