he's afraid we'll bully him

+ “ Humans are impulsive. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but an essential one. “ 

astra only barely repressed the eye roll that was her gut instinct. “alriiiight, but if you get any weird looks, don’t say i didn’t tell you so.”

“Hmm. I’d never thought of it in that way.” The doctor mused to himself in thought, having never come across someone who hailed from… elsewhere. “As opposed to what, exactly? Living below them? Is that really where you come from?”

“A film? Oh.” Seine had spent some time with the humans – or air-breathers, as Orm called them – so she was familiar with some of the things they did. She still found the humans strange, if not cruel sometimes. “And they portrayed sharks as mean creatures? Horrible.” She glanced at the small school of sharks in the distance and smiled at their antics. They were fierce in battle, yes, but they were just defending their territory. “Well, it looks like your introduction’s ready. But…it might catch your brother’s attention if they start screaming about an ‘Ocean Master with a shark’.” When she went on land, there had been no fanfare. It was as if she had been a part of the humans for years. “Unless you want him to know what you’re doing.”

“Yes, they fear what they don’t understand, and then they attack it.” Or in this case, make films about Sharks attacking people, but he supposed that was Humanity. If they put half of an effort into keeping their sea’s clean --- perhaps they would be worth while, but of course, they had chosen not to. Instead, opting to destroying, and polluting their world in an effort to come close to what the people of Atlantis had in the first dynasty when the kingdoms were one. 

It was, for the most part, an idiotic attempt, but one that in some way Orm could understand. Grasping for something greater was quite natural, but the problem was that there was far more destruction than development. It was something they’d never understand... not even when it would bring them to the brink of annihilation.

“Horrible is just one way to put it, but they are... terrible. They do what they want, never care about the consequences, and usually they blame each other for their failings.” They were both similar and different than his own people, but they were also far more dangerous as well.
