[uchuujin]

Yeah!!!! Now my shows can be even better!!! You should come see what I can do!!!! [Fish army.]

[bauhinia]

are you at the zoo now

[ Fish army. ]

[uchuujin]

Yeah!!!! I was practicing my skills!!!

[bauhinia]

do you want me to come over there

[uchuujin]

Yeah!!! Come on come on!!!!

[bauhinia]

okay i'm heading over now
don't do anything crazy yeah

[uchuujin]

I won't!!!! I got it under control!!!!

[bauhinia]

i am totally happy to hear that

[ He's on his way, too, so give it about 15 minutes and he'll poke his head in. ]

Yo.

[uchuujin]

[Sup Honkers. He pulls away from the glass and waves excitedly. SUPER EXCITED. He can barely contain it.]

Hong Kong! I'm super super happy! All of my tricks are gonna be even cooler now!

[bauhinia]

[ What's happening, Haruuuuu. ]

Yeah? D'you wanna show me one- or is it a surprise?

[uchuujin]

Yeah, yeah! Watch this!

[Haru presses a hand to the glass and focuses on the fish. They quickly come over, a huge school gathering. With a move of his hand, he gets them to move! He has them twirl together and swim upward, eventually letting go. They disperse naturally and Haru smiles more.]

See? Super cool! Pretty, too, right?

[bauhinia]

Uh, yeah. [ He's just sort of... staring...

because he was expecting that, but at the same time, he was not expecting that. ] Pretty.

[uchuujin]

[He beams, looking back to the glass. He closes his eyes and then pulls away, spinning.]

They say thank you!! They like compliments like that.

[bauhinia]

Yeah? I guess that makes sense. [ Still kinda staring... a little bit.... ] So they'll do pretty much anything you ask?

[uchuujin]

Yup! I usually just make them do it, but... I ask, too! Just in case they don't want to.

[You'd think he'd use this power to his advantage with fishing.... but he doesn't. He hardly uses it on fish.]

[bauhinia]

So you can do both. Ask and tell.

[ Just so we're on the record about all this!! And wow, that's quite sporting of you, Haru. All things considered? ]

[uchuujin]

Yeah! It's good to ask. But I don't think they mind too much if I just tell them. I thank them! And I let them go back to what they're doing.

[Which isn't much. The simple life.]

[bauhinia]

Do they remember you if you talk to them again? [ He cocks his head to one side. ]

[uchuujin]

Yep! Fish have good memories! They're not as smart as we are, but that's because we're aliens. We have powers, these ones don't. So it's different!

[bauhinia]

Yeah? [ He cocks his head to the other side. ] People say fish have really bad memories. I guess it's just goldfish, but anyway. I heard it wasn't true, I was just wondering.

[uchuujin]

Huh... that's weird! But humans wouldn't really know, would they? They're not fish.

[bauhinia]

You'd think, right? That's what I'd think. I'm not even really human, either.

[uchuujin]

Mm! That's right. You're a person-place.

[It makes sense in his mind, okay. But... on this subject. He looks a little awkward.]

Um! I trust you a whoooole bunch Hong Kong! Even though you're not an alien like me... you're not human. [Fidget fidget. what is he, Urara?] And I met another alien here! They said that humans are using us. Do you think they are...?

[bauhinia]

[ Haru, you're... kind of cute. But you didn't hear it from me. ]

That totally depends on a bunch of stuff. Who is "they" and what do they mean by "use" and how d'you think they're doing that?
