"You might actually really like checking out the Perfectly Good hutch if you haven't yet, it's the yellow and pink thing at the corner if you cross the street and turn left then right."

'What is it?'

"It's a little outbuilding - most neighborhoods have them, though my sister studying in Westerly says there they just leave things on the side of the road, since it so seldom rains - where people put things that are a little too potentially valuable to just throw away, in case someone could use them."

Humans are so greaaaaat, that they have so much stuff that they can do that with it instead of being always possessive or transactional.  'I will go there sometime.'

"It's wonderful, there's often clothes there, knicknacks, books."

Permalink

'How would I get something big like a cabinet to my room from there?'

Permalink

"You'd bring something with wheels, usually, or someone to help you haul it. Easier when it's not snowy."

Permalink

'When will it be not snowy?'

Permalink

"Some of the time in a month, all the time in two or three, most likely."

Permalink

Nod nod.  'I know how long the snowy time was where I was a fish person but I didn't know when in it I came here or if it's the same.'

Permalink

"Well, it varies place to place, too, so even if you were used to a certain amount of winter where you lived it'd probably be different here. Some places don't get winter at all."

Permalink

'Yes!  I travelled as a fish person and the underwater places were sometimes very different.  But that was before I went to the surface.'

Permalink

"Probably the way the underwater places were different is completely separate from how surface places are, anyway - like, it'd be nearly all about currents, down there, right? And up here it's about things like humidity and latitude."

'Huemidity' click-erase 'Humidity is how wet things are?'

Permalink

"How wet the air is."

Permalink

Nod.  'I was very surprised to learn about how much wet there is on the surface.  I had seen snow and the word you said a while ago that I forgot for warm clear snow but I didn't know humans used it for anything.'

Permalink

"Rain," she supplies. "And yeah, we need water, we die without it, just in a few days rather than right away."

Permalink

'And baths and swimming for fun.'

Permalink

"Yup, those too!"

Permalink

'I like baths but not because I miss being a fish person.  If I got turned back into a fish person I think I would still miss them even though there would be so many things to miss.'

Permalink

"I guess it would be sort of hard to take a bath if you're a fish person, huh."

Permalink

Nod.  'There aren't very many places where there's warm water right next to cold water, or enough of it with enough difference that you can be just the right temperature by moving across the border of it like with bath water and air.  Fish people bodies care less about being just the right temperature so it wasn't as nice even when there were spots."

Permalink

"Are there things fish people care more about that you can't appreciate much as a human?"

Permalink

She has to think about that one.

'I am not sure how different or the same singing will be with air instead of water.'  Pause.  'I was better at sleeping as a fish person.'

Permalink

"Huh, better at sleeping how?"
