You're here! Welcome back. [That might sound excited, but he's excited, so. He swims as close as he can, which is a bit difficult given his tail, but he manages. (It's like walking on a sprained ankle, not that Geaprd knows what that's like.) This has definitely been a fucking slippery slope from 'mysterious enigmatic figure of the deep' to 'friendly fish' but it's fine. It's not like it's going to hurt anyone, probably. Maybe.]
You brought quite a bit with you. [Can't even fucking pretend to not be curious.] More than I expected?
