PAAANNNTS XD
I so want to hear what the land-dwellers call them if the talking eels are ever integrated as more than just food or leather.
“Come here, Yeet!”
Seriously, Dave, that is some beautifully-written nightmare fuel and lore in just a few sentences. Makes me think of a monster from Gene Wolf’s Solar Cycle books, that would eat a freshly-buried corpse and then mimic their voice to get the grieving family to open their door to it…
In addition to the emotional comfort, teaching eels dark jokes might also be a safety precaution if one gets loose. You swim by a dense patch of kelp and hear “I am pants!” from within, you’re gonna go “There’s an escaped eel”, but if you hear, “Mommy, help!”, you’re gonna get eaten.
Sorry, not sorry for your suffering Then. Please suffer more. I hope you step in horse poop. Though I fear that won’t happen as I bet there haven’t been horses, or people, here for a time.
Huh; are eels the only creature the Sarthoni farm? I know Then’s just showing attitude, but at the same time, there’s no other example of a farm he can think of?
Do the eels still tell raunchy jokes, Clarice?
“I am fava beans!”
And that would be the reason WHY the farmers imprint stupid jokes on them.

i kid you not I BARELY prevented my 5 year old naming a cat Yeet. I almost pissed myself laughing when I read that!
Then has a point, I’ll be thinking of that well into the night.
Then would be so pleased with that response.

I am trying to remember. Has Selkie been exposed to sushi and sashimi yet?
