Of course. It’s hardly any trouble. Please do not hesitate to come to me when you find yourself in these dilemmas.
[Solving such things was similar to some of the work he did back home, and her needs thus far were quite simple, and yet her whole face would light up in response. It was rather unexpected, and a bit fun.]
Yes and no, and also it depends. Fish get more active when it’s cloudy out during rainstorms. It has little to do with the rain itself, and more with the darkened sky. Though if it rains hard enough, it can kick up sand and silt which bring about more fish in the shallows.
[She squeezes his hand in gratitude again. Mundane as his support may be, he doesn't have to do these things for her, and the fact that he chooses to makes her happy. However, his answer regarding the weather's impact surprises her.]
How strange. I'd have thought the darkness would put the fish at rest!
[She looks up at the darkening sky overhead again.]
What do we do? Go up to the shallows? Or go further down? With your lights, we should be able to see even if it gets darker.
Fish don't sleep as humans do, many must keep moving in order to breathe, so they can only enter a partial state of rest at best. During the day time Fish tend to hide among the rocks and corals to avoid predators in open waters.
However, at night, when predators like birds and other land based creatures are sleeping, they come out to feed.
[He turned his gaze upwards as the first raindrops began to disturb the surface of the water. It wasn't something he'd seen often given how deep he lived, but he also wasn't a fan of the mucky muddy waters of stagnant lakes and ponds.]
I believe going deeper would be the better option, better than swimming through muddy water..
[That did mean they'd need to separate in some capacity, so with some reluctance he let go of her hip and twisted himself so he could right himself without letting go of her hand.]
Shall we? I'm certain we'll find something interesting.
[What does he not know about the sea? But it really is no wonder, given that he grew up on its shore.]
Alright. Let's dive.
[She swims towards the now darkened depths of the sea with him, wondering what they may find down there... it's not out of the question that they might encounter a wreck, given that boats do traverse the water every day and accidents may have occurred, however, it's more likely that they'll just find some belongings lost or abandoned by swimmers or cruisers.]
