[oh. she frowns, clenches and unclenches her fist. she seems uncertain for a moment, but draws upon a haughty expression.]

Yes, quite. It is important to thoroughly test our new surroundings.

[nascens]

[These are some bizarre vibes and he is not sure how to interpret what is happening right now. Girl help. He'll just mosey over, crossing his arms over his chest and facing the tank. A giant horrific sunfish goes drifting lazily by.]

Hm. Do they have anything interesting to say?

[outsidebones]

[help. she's being so obviously cagey but to what end.]

...Nothing interesting, no. But they are rather strange. Look in there and tell me if you recognize them.

[nascens]

[GENUINELY THINGS HE WISHES TO KNOW. At least he doesn't remark on her lack of stealth this time, instead turning his attention to all the fishies hanging out in the tank.]

--Some of them. Others are unfamiliar, but I guess that makes sense since there are bits and pieces of a number of worlds here.

[outsidebones]

[she points at the octopus.]

What is that thing?

[nascens]

[HIS MORTAL ENEMY THAT JAN FORCIBLY ASSIGNED. As soon as he spots it, he's immediately scowling.]

An octopus. Not a sort that I've seen before, but it'd probably cook up the same as any other.

[outsidebones]

[yes she's scowling too, she hates that bitch.]

That is what I saw, then. Ew.

[nascens]

[She is so funny help me. Scaramouche is just giving her a sidelong glance...]

You didn't see the ghostly image of some long-dead person floating around in there?

[outsidebones]

Is that what you saw?

[because she did see something like that, but she also regularly hallucinates, so she wasn't sure it was real.]

[nascens]

[He just nods, reaching out to knock on the glass. The currently octopus-shaped octopus knocks back.]

This thing likes playing tricks.

[outsidebones]

...Yes. I saw something similar in there.

[asshole!]

Perhaps Kon can make a meal from this.

[nascens]

[Mortal enemy octopus! Enemy of the people. He flicks the glass before leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest again.]

That's what I've been saying. Those demons are so fussy about us eating out of these tanks, but octopus is quite a popular sushi ingredient where I'm from.

[outsidebones]

Oh, is it? One of the demons was suggesting it would taste poorly, I am glad to know I was lied to.

[nascens]

I'm betting it's just because they're weirdly against us eating these creatures, for whatever reason. [Like it's normal to just walk into an aquarium to eat the creatures vibin there.]

Cosmopolitan compared it to eating the decorative soaps in a fancy bathroom.
