[Rin can't help but chuckle more at Haruka's stubbornness. It helps distract him from his own self-consciousness anyway, as Haruka intensifies his gaze.

What the hell? A mermaid should not be able to make him feel like this. His kind are far superior to them.

He grins wider and starts to swim a wide, lazy circle around Haruka.]

Obviously. Your kind don't usually wander into our waters. Most of the are too scared.

[He flashes his sharp teeth for emphasis.]

But not you, huh? You're curious. I like that.

[At the question, Rin puffs himself up, raising his chest a bit more in the water, his gills flaring with excitement. He's not afraid to share.]

You bet! Samezuka is one of the biggest shivers in the ocean. Sharks come from hundreds of miles to join us.

[He eyes Haruka, a curious glint in his look.]

What about your fellow mermaids? How big is your school?
