It's not like I haven't done it before. On land. At least you'll be lighter in the ocean.

[imsorey]

Hmm...It took us a while to swim all the way out here, but if you conserve your strength now it should be fine to swim back too. You'll still have to take into account the extra strength it'll take to swim with an extra person though.

[oneandmikleonly]

I'll have to calculate for possibly running into sand sharks or something on the way back too, though. That's a lot of math.

[imsorey]

There's plenty of time to do the math right now since you're just lying around.

[oneandmikleonly]

And what are you doing, pray tell?

[imsorey]

There's a giant seal on top of me. I have an excuse for not being able to move.

[oneandmikleonly]

[glances down]

I think he's taking a nap. Good idea, seal.

[imsorey]

[glances at the seal as best as he can from his position and sighs]

I wanted lunch, not a nap...

[oneandmikleonly]

[hmmmmmm. sounds almost playful]

Since I'm responsible for your predicament, I guess I could take responsibility and feed you.

[imsorey]

[it's a trap

it sounds sexy but its a trap]

Like I'd fall for something twice in a row!

[oneandmikleonly]

I'm not going to waste food.

[imsorey]

Even if you don't intend to, the seal might have other plans.

[oneandmikleonly]

Guess I'll eat it myself before he can get to it, then...

[IS HE JOKING NOW??? IT'S HARD TO TELL]

[imsorey]

[a bully]

--If you eat all of our food I'm going to starve! I can feel my energy draining away by the second!

[oneandmikleonly]

I did offer to give you some first. Make up your mind!

[imsorey]

It's playing dirty if you use my weaknesses against me.

[that means yes he wants food]

[oneandmikleonly]

Funny, I'd call it playing strategically.

[shifts over to try and get the food out without...disturbing the seal too much...results may vary]

[imsorey]

Does this count as strategy now? The seal is the one doing most of the work here.

[the seal actually rolls off of Sorey a little and frees one of his legs]

[oneandmikleonly]

[it's on Mikleo's leg now. squawks indignantly for a moment before covering it up, then finally gets their food out]

I got the seal over here, didn't I?

[imsorey]

[Sorey catches the squawk and pushes a puff of seal fur aside to see what happened--and laughs]

You got it to come over with the fish I gave you!

[oneandmikleonly]

I still did the work, didn't I?

[pushes ineffectually at its fuzzy, blubbery side, then flops over again with a sigh]

Here, here's your food.

[imsorey]

That's like half of the--oh, thanks.

[reaching for the food and also trying to shove the seal more onto Mikleo at the same time]

[oneandmikleonly]

[they have a shoving contest for a couple of minutes! ...the seal is finally disturbed enough to come snuffling up towards the smell of food. unfortunately, since it's between them, that just means its fat body is trapping them both more

mikleo starts laughing]

This is--maybe too friendly?

[imsorey]

Just a little! I think the seal wins this one.

[Sorey manages to pull out another piece of fish and tosses it away from them--the seal takes the bait and wiggles off of them in order to get it before the other seals do]

[oneandmikleonly]

[the seal problem's taken care of, but Mikleo stays sprawled on the sand with his head pillowed on Sorey's arm. oof, that was heavy]

We should tell other people about this place.
