"Thanks for taking me with you to forage, listening to the adults talk was getting soooo boring!" Lumme said as she followed Liza through the water.

"You're welcome! Thanks for giving me an excuse to get away too- you're right, they were being AWFULLY boring." She winked at the younger tsab.

"So, what are we looking for, anyway?" Lumme asked.

"Well, I want some live samples of small wildlife for my own study- I've been learning about different species, and after a few days to a few weeks of observation I release them again. You can look for anything that catches your fancy, but if you see something neat that would fit in this jar-" here Liza held up a specimen container- "give me a shout." Lumme nodded, and the two began swimming in different directions, ((each looking about at the breathtaking ocean around Rekes. The water was calm that day and visibility was good, so they could poke around in the crevasses of the coral and rock formations without any trouble. Water plants swayed gently as they floated past. Small creatures retreated as their shadows passed over.

"Wow, look at this guy!" Lumme cried out as an eel gaped at her in a territorial display. "I have funny jaws too, nyaaaa" she giggled as she flashed her pharangeal jaws at the eel. Its wide eyed gaze remained unchanging. It was difficult to tell how it felt about the reciprocal display from this strange creature.

"Oh wow, a slingjaw eel!" Liza said as she swam up. "They're really neat creatures, good find!"

"Looks like you have something already," Lumme pointed at the jar.

"Ah yes, I think it's a species of blobtopus, I'll have to look it up when we get back. Want to see my lab?"

"COOL" said the youngster.
