You find yourself in a children’s room. Fortunately, there’s still plenty of room for everyone as either you’re all much, much smaller, or you’re standing in a bedroom for particularly gigantic children...

That makes it even more complicated.

All right, so our horse loves fish. He loves eating fish, too.

Okay~~!

But he also likes talking with us on long trips about just about anything. Who's to say our horse can't talk?

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

Of course he can talk.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

He ought to be pretty loyal too. I mean, that's something that friends do.

Re: DISCUSSION

[livebait]

. . . loyal?

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

You don't--? I guess you are an alien.

That means he sticks by us. His friends. No matter how bad things get.

There's a lot of human things I don't understand.

I know that feeling, though.

Re: DISCUSSION

[soldieronwards]

Then you're probably a good friend, too. Whatever kind of alien fish you are.

Think we've got our horse figured out for now?

[looks at him for a moment, expression sort of freezing, then leaps over that momentary emotional moment with enthusiasm]

Yes~! It's a good horse~~!

[a pause]

All right. I'll go turn it in.
