You have not been making it sound like a cool gift, you have been making it sound like a gift designed to torture me at least a little.

Which. I will admit is a fun type of gift to GIVE. So I have some respect for the attempt.

[coolcostumes]

maybe it'll be both.

maybe it'll make you change your view of dolphins

[white_widow]

Both would be impressive.

If it also managed to somehow change the behavior of an entire species, that would be unbelievable.

[coolcostumes]

if i ever take you to an aquarium, i'm gonna have to stop you from fighting a dolphin

[white_widow]

You would have to TRY. Are you planning on taking me to an aquarium?

[coolcostumes]

well maybe
it is one date idea i had.

[white_widow]

Is it?
What other ideas have you had?

[coolcostumes]

i dunno
a few
dinners
movies
things

[white_widow]

"Things?" What does things mean?

[coolcostumes]

it means tba!
to be determined
it means i don't have solid ideas but i will eventually.

[white_widow]

Okay, that is fair. Well, whenever you do have a solid idea, let me know.

[coolcostumes]

i will

but definitely aquarium.
that's top of the list now.

[white_widow]

Okay.
I like plenty of other creatures that are at aquariums, so that is fine.

[coolcostumes]

dolphins won't be there i promise
just cute otters.

[white_widow]

See, that I like. Otters are very adorable animals.

[coolcostumes]

glad you don't hate all the creatures in the sea.

[white_widow]

Almost all the rest of them I enjoy.
Squid, stingrays, angler fish, lobsters, sharks, all great.
Clams are overdramatic.

[coolcostumes]

i can't not ask

HOW? what do clams do that makes them overdramatic?

[white_widow]

THIS does not look dramatic to you? [img]

Mostly it is their lifespan. One of them has lived for 500 years and the rest only live a year. Obviously I cannot be entirely sure which category is being dramatic, but I am inclined it is the ones that die so early.

[coolcostumes]

no that looks pretty cool.
i don't think that clam went in trying to be dramatic
not that i've ever had a conversation with them.
they're just doing what they're doing.

[white_widow]

Dramatic things often look pretty cool!
We will just have to agree to disagree.

[coolcostumes]

i think that's probably the best thing
even if i want to try and convince you
i won't
i will be good.

[white_widow]

Yes, you like being good, don't you?
Thank you for letting me have my fun and not trying to convince me.

[coolcostumes]

i don't know if i like it
but i guess i'm good at it?

[white_widow]

You don't know if you like it?
