Uh, Pohl? I’m not sure speaker is a great idea when it comes to Special Project questions. Especially not when in the presence of small children who like to repeat the most awkward things at the absolute worst times.
I’m getting the feeling this is leading to a “stops everything he’s doing immediately, walks over to the phone, switches it off speaker and gets deadly serious” kinda moment. Having so much fun with his kids he takes a “Special Project” through speaker phone mode? Yeah, he’s they’re having a great time! Suddenly stop playing and switch to serious mode? You KNOW this is big!
That said, it’s simply a theory for now until it actually happens, so guess we have to wait and see….
The tadpole phase only lasts a few months. Sarnothi do become ambulatory faster than humans, but she’s not running exactly, more of a wobbly toddle; it’s just not clear from the panel. She’s capable right now of standing and taking a couple steps before plomping onto the ground.
When they lose the tail and grow legs, do they also grow teeth? You can see the boy’s teeth, but she does not appear to have any. I was thinking about the difficulty of making soft foods for a toothless eater, while underwater. Just seems like the only things they can eat would be actual solid food that they had to bite. Which would require teeth.
Milk is available for however long they require, and fish is easy to pulp. Having a small room or cupboard where you can bag most of it solves diffusion in the water, though there is waste. Mortar and pistol technologyyyyy, been around since the neolithic. You don’t need a blender or great millstones to feed one child. It’s only been about 300 years since personal millstones left the average household, and not even that outside of Europe.
Pestol! I hate how you can’t turn autocorrect off anymore, and it corrects CORRECT WORDS into more common ones, bah! I have no intention of THINKING about firearms right now, sir autocorrect! Pestol pestol pestol. Maybe it’s fixed. Pestol.
Human development isn’t nearly so cut-and-dried as that! A few – a very VERY few – can be walking at eight months; some don’t walk until well over a year, most are somewhere in-between.
Huh, him mentioning hunting does make me wonder if the surface raised kids are going to lack the hunting skills they would have had with a traditional upbringing.
Then again, maybe the city kids were always sub par at it.
Then again again, selkie never was taught and she caught eels bare handed, so who knows.

Pohl is an Echo, his kids likely already know not tell people about it.
Besides, the younger one probably can’t even speak yet, as she’s not even a year old.

So does Todd come up as a mushroom on Phil’s phone because he’s being kept in the dark and fed bull****?
*Pohl. Autocorrect.
I assumed it was a reference to the mushroom-looking winter hats that Pohl’s family wore when they went with Todd and Selkie to the aquarium.
Do sarnothi babies really grow that fast? Tai li isn’t even a year old, and she’s grown limbs and is coordinated enough to run around?

I mean, given what sarnothi eat, I’d imagine they aren’t exactly taught hunting skills this early.
