[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?

[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.
