Hopford looks at the agents

"You make a good point, but in case you didn't notice, we don't have the books yet. Even if we agreed with you now, I'm sure you know there's no guarantee what we'll do when we do."

"Plus we have another crisis we need to handle. On another plane. It will be wet."

"Oh, certainly. My hope is that you'll consider what I've said. I'm an interested party in how this all turns out." He looks back at the fish. "If I were a cynical man, I would say I should simply hope you don't attempt what so many others have attempted, and try to control the books yourself or take their power for yourself. Few who do so survive."

"Ah can believe it"

"We're well aware of the dangers."

"Comes with the job."

"Then if you'll pardon me, Agents, I have some aquatic sightseeing to do." He tips his hat cordially and wanders off towards the seahorses.

Hopford gives the agents a look of Hwell what was that?

"We still don't have any magic for the elemental plane of water though."

"...Oh, yeah."

The fish have started to emerge from their hiding places and are congregating near you again.

What are they bubbling

Gimmie the bubble buzz

Some tiny guppies near Hopford's head are gathering towards the volcano in the corner of their tank and burbling about pretty rocks.

A nearby eel is gurgling, moviiiinnngggg outttsiiidee. fooooooddd?

Two betta fish appear to be having an argument towards the top of their tank over whether or not they're gonna jump over there.

("I'M GONNA DO IT, HARVEY." "YOU COME AT ME BRO! YOU BETTER!")

That's so betta

A tiny goldfish starts flittering around near Seline whispering, Pretty light lady. Pretty light lady.

(I'm going AFK as I can't keep my eyes open, but please continue)

Sounds gud

BUT THE LORE SHALL CONTINUE IN OUR MINDS

THE LOREEEEE

Legend Lore

I love how you are getting absolutely the most utility you possibly can out of talking to fish

It's on my character sheet god dammit I'm gonna use it

Making aquatic voices heard is my number one priority!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that! I think normally I'd be good to carry on, but it's been a long day

No worries, we’re still settling into Tuesdays :)

I’m glad we found a new time
