[The resident fishman sounds rather tired when he speaks.]

That... thing, with the chalice or whatever. It changed people, didn't it?

[There's a pause, and he sounds rather unsure how to continue.]

It made me... I have been rather horrible to someone I don't even know, and I'm not sure how to apologize. I wanted to drown him and I have never been that kind of mer. Ever.

...was this what we could have been?

[He sighs, water sloshing around him.]

Does this happen often?

The issue of the chalice is the first of its kind since my arrival. I can speak as to that and I arrived some months ago.

[ If it sounds like she's shifting in the backgruond, that's because she is, but her accent stands as what is recognizable to those familiar as Irish tinged older. She tends to find herself a good perch before taking to the network, usually with some treat or readily available entertainment beyond the device. Today is no different despite the seriousness of the questions posed and the weight of the answers she offers freely, easily. ]

Does it truly matter? Whoever you are, whatever you may be, you cannot, do not live in 'what could have been'. All that you have, all that you are is now. Is it not so?

[He listens to her for a moment, the sound of an Irish accent quite soothing to someone from the Celtic Sea. There's a noise of softly running water in the background.]

It is not as much 'what could have been' as it is what could be if I make a choice to accept that part of myself.

[ That sound of softly running water in the background earns a tilt of the head unseen given the voice function. It sounds peaceful, serene and calls to mind the gentle flow of certain familiar waters. ]

Is that you want? It does not sound as though it is if you believe you have wronged someone and intend to apologize to that person for that wrongdoing.

[soundsfishy]

No, that's not what I want, that's the whole point. I am very aware that I wronged someone, and I'm scared it might happen again.
