[There are indeed fish that Guta can see in the water - the basic, ordinary fish that roam about where the ships dock on the harbor - large, grey, a bit dull...but the one in particular he saw was as vibrant and lovely as a shimmering piece of coral. Pink scales shimmering in the filtering sunlight and a long, billowing fin almost like a silk gown. Truly stunning.
But what's more stunning is the diver that Gua also saw...is actually attached to the tail end of that fish. Large, brown eyes, ringed slightly with pink and white scales, stare at him through the porthole, a mess of brown hair, fluttering in the surf. Where human ears ought to be are more fins, and they perk up when she sees him, blinking curiously at the little cat. She's never seen a creature like that before!! What is it? The humans are common, they galumph through the water like they own the place, but this...this is new.
Is that seagrass it's covered in? Kelp? Or just some long algae?? Gosh, and what a strange tail! How can it move around with such a flimsy thing? These surface dwellers are so strange.]
[perfect!!]
