don't you know there's a part of me
A light 'hmm' leaves her mouth as she runs a finger along the blade where normally, it'd cut into your skin. In this case, it was smooth and perfect for smearing on things. "Yes... perhaps it did fall off a ship. People lose things a lot, often when drunk... sometimes in shipwrecks as well." The idea was certainly plausible, but Delta couldn't confirm it for sure, not unless said rich merchant identified it as theirs.
Then an idea dawned on her. "You know... it's kind of like... a paint brush? I've seen them, they don't fall into the ocean often, of course. Sticks with fluff at the end intended on smearing paint... and this does just that, but instead of paint it's food." She's pretty damn proud of herself for making such an observation and she turns her attention towards Jigano, eager to see if such a hypothesis held any truth.
There is a light shake of her head. "No need to apologize, I'm not offended nor mad." It might've seemed like it, but Delta was more amused than anything else. Nothing was taken too deeply and Delta wasn't bothered by the assumption, not in the slightest. It's often that people make assumptions and so long as they aren't treated as lesser, she is fine with it. The moment someone treats her like she's a 'dumb fish' is the moment where the true anger comes out. "We eat the usual. Fish, seaweed, kelp, clams, and you know, other things like that." There is a light shrug. "All of our meat is raw, which I know is way different from how humans consume it." She did want to try this cooked meat someday.
