[...what is yarn- well, that's okay, he can guess what Sampo means. Maybe. He can't guess why Sampo's so interested in that pendant specifically, well- it's magical, sure. There's probably not that much magic up in peopleland, not that he would know because he doesn't have legs and can't walk around. But he can guess there's not that much magic? Humans don't seem that magical, on the whole.]
Well, my people were supposedly closer to yours, once - that's where all the stories of mermaids and men abandoning their fins and choosing to dwell on shore came from. They say some members of my family did just that. They were curious about what life was like on land, abandoned their fins, and spent some time on shore. Some returned to the water once they satisfied their curiosity, and others remained on shore.
[But it's probably nonsense, who heard of people growing legs and then growing a tail back where it used to be?]
After the disaster happened, we moved, and things of that sort stopped happening- if they used to at all. [And then, Gepard looks at Sampo, and he says this with full sincerity-
Are you ready? Are you braced? Are you prepared for what he says with full sincerity?]
Listen to me ramble. I'm sure all of this is boring to you.
