I think you're totally safe. I wouldn't worry about it unless you like, find someone who says they wanna hurt you.

[uchuujin]

[He's visibly relieved at that. Phew!]

Right! I'm glad... I didn't want to believe that humans would hurt me. I know I can trust you more, Hong Kong!! But... does this make Nue a liar? Is she bad?

[bauhinia]

That's not what I was thinking. Maybe she's had a bad experience with humans and that's all she has to go on, yeah? It wouldn't mean she's lying.

[uchuujin]

Ooh... [That makes way more sense.] I see! That's bad!! Poor Nue... maybe I can help her see that not all humans are bad. Because Yuki and my friends from Enoshima are really great!

[bauhinia]

I think that sounds like a pretty good idea. If anyone can prove it, I bet you can.

[uchuujin]

Right? I totally can! I'll do it! Thanks, Hong Kong.

[Feeling waaaay better. Haru smiles brightly.]

Do you want to see what else I can do with the fish? It's so fun!

[bauhinia]

No problem, yeah? [ Honkers: Master Cheerer-Upper. ]

Yeah, I totally do- show me some more cool stuff.

[ He wants to see all the cool things. All of them! ]

[uchuujin]

Aaaall right! Just stay right there!

[He's gotta go get ready! And get in the tank. He's pretty quick since he's getting used to changing in and out... but, he's about to give him a neat fish show! Haru's just gotta "talk" to them for a bit and start choreographing the school of fish. He gets them to wrap around him and then starts leading them through loops and twirls. Way better than before.]

[bauhinia]

[ If Hong Kong were the kind of guy to get greedy, he'd be thinking 'man, we're going to make so much money,' but he's not greedy, okay? He's entrepreneurial. That's all. He has an eye for things that might, by their nature, be good for turning a profit. And this, by its nature, is entertaining and unique and therefore, really, very much something that might be good for turning a profit.

Mostly he just thinks it's super cool though, so he's not exactly crunching numbers or anything??

If Haru looks over, Hong Kong will give him a thumbs up. ]

[uchuujin]

[Haru does eventually look over, waving and beaming. Aw yiss! Approved! He heads on up and does a dive back down with the fish to finish it off, letting them disperse on their own. He gives them a wave and heads back out. Give him a minute! He'll be back over with a towel in no time.]

Way better, right!?

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that was seriously cool. I like both, but that just now was really good. You can make a whole show outta that, yeah?

[uchuujin]

Yaaay! I'm so happy! [His ego's through the roof.] I can totally make a whole show out of it. It'd be super easy!

[bauhinia]

I'll leave it to you, yeah? [ He gives a little salute. ] I trust you to do whatever's gonna be the best.

[uchuujin]

Right! We'll put on the best show we can! [He salutes in return.]

[bauhinia]

Y'know I'm counting on you. [ He's gonna be expecting big things, Haru.

Big. Things. ]

[uchuujin]

Noooo worries! You can count on me to give the bestest shows ever!! Promise.

[They'll be GRAND.]

[bauhinia]

[ Will they? Will they be grand? ]

I'm gonna remember you said that. The bestest ever. I'll quote you on it.

[uchuujin]

I won't forget! I'll keep my word!

[bauhinia]

I know you will. [ This is why you're a good employee, Haru. :') But if you forget, he will remind you.

:') ]

[uchuujin]

Right-o! [He'll never forget!! Promise.] I should get back to practicing, huh? I'm so glad I got to show you, though! The rest will stay a secret.

[bauhinia]

Yeah, that sounds like an awesome idea. And no worries, I won't spoil anything for anyone, yeah? [ Making a motion of zipping his lips. ]

[uchuujin]

Good! It has to be suuuuper secret. Well, not too secret, since we want people to come see it... but! They can't know about the cool tricks!

[This would work great if Haru knew how to keep his mouth shut about it.]

[bauhinia]

Want me to put up some kinda sign or something at the front entrance? Or could post fliers around town.

[uchuujin]

Yeah! That'd be super cool! I'll even sign it or something... maybe I can draw a picture of a cute fish! [AKA: himself.]

[bauhinia]

And then I can frame one and put it in my office later.

[ He's taking this just as seriously as you, Haru. ]
