don't you know there's a part of me
It was far from the first time that she had heard a statement such as that. It seemed to be common in the mouth-breathers to either not believe in merfolk or to be under the impression that they would never actually see one. For Delta, it was sometimes amusing and she knew that most of the time, they wouldn't mean anything bad when speaking about it. She knew better than to take it too personally by now. "Well, you're meeting one now." There was a grin and pep to her voice. Hopefully Jigano could tell that she didn't mean anything harsh or double-meaning by that.
His question was a curious one. "Well... I've never seen a lion before... but is a mane like, a big thing around you? Like this?" She put up her hands next to her face, fanning out her fingers to mimic what she thought a mane would be to the human. It was a bit hard to answer him when she hadn't even seen a lion for herself. "Well, Lion Fish have these spine like quills, which are dangerous. For big things like me or a legwalker- er human, it isn't a worry... but to other fish? It usually kills them." It was said rather simply, but also slowly. She wasn't bothered by the death part, but she knew that Jigano could be a bit worried. "But I wouldn't worry... so long as you stay away from the tip of my tail, you should be fine." Lets see if the poor snake doesn't flee away in terror.
If Jigano wasn't terrified and absolutely booking it as far away as possible, Delta would be very happy to continue talking to him. "Well, I was trying to get something out of the rocks. I cant tell what it is, but it's held in by the rocks and some net. Otherwise? No, we fish underwater. The rocks are just places that things get stuck and it's often that I'll get here before any humans do." Scavengers would typically pick over so it was important that she got here before any of them did.
