Of course--you know me. [She may not know what a takeout order is, but she can play along well enough.] Always demanding more.
[She'll offer a smile back before thumping the bucket up onto the table.]
You participated in our "treasure hunt" earlier, yes? Allow me to present you with the finest treasures of the day.
[A bucket of fish, some of them still giving pathetic little flops. Most are sandy. Some are bioluminescent!]
The entire time we were retrieving "treasure," we were being pelted with fish and other debris from geysers outside of the Bubble. I hope you had an easier time of it?
[ Honestly, it's probably just a vague theoretical concept to her too, but it seems appropriate here!! ]
Whoa, nice! I'm kinda jealous, I spent way too much time the other day trying to figure out how to fish from in here... though I'll admit the geysers don't sound too great.
[ Hmmm, it's probably not too late to tweak this soup she was just finishing up into a fish stew if she uses the right spices? ]
We had this treasure chest that was super easy to find, but it was actually some kind of weird monster. I've heard a few stories about 'em back home, but I didn't realize they were actual things.
A treasure chest that was actually a monster? [awful.....] I too have heard stories of them, but I've not actually encountered one myself--though a friend of mine has a time or two.
If you'd like, I'll gladly show you where we searched. If you're careful and time it right, you should be able to avoid the worst of the falling debris.
[Unlike... the four of them... so many fishslaps..... so many.]
I believe the others took their share of fish as well. Between the four of us, we may not need to replenish our food stores for a few days.
We didn't have to leave the Bubble, no, though I suppose our task might have proven easier had we asked to do so. When the geysers erupted, their strength proved such that the fish were pushed through the barrier with surprising force.
[She's going to have bruises from fish.]
Sheba and I had our hands full ensuring the others were not hit by them while searching.

[ Rinsing one of the fish and then just chopping its head right the hell off. ]
Did you actually have to go through the bubble to get to 'em?

[ moves on to fileting this sucker... ]
Jeez, I didn't even know things could go through the barrier like that. You're not hurt, are you?

[Moving on, though!]
What more would we need to dry and smoke the extra fish? If there is aught we don't have here, I can go and find it.
