[Well, this is surprising, if not a huge relief. He doesn't look at Dualscar though, too embarrassed and ashamed to even afford it.]

I don't, no. I spent most of my time on land--keepin' a eye on the land dwellers, mind you. It was a full time job, so I didn't get much free time to go swimmin' an' the like...

[Maybe that's part of the truth.]

I see. Wwell, wwhatevver the reason, it's not right for a sea dwweller to be a fuckin' useless swwimmer, especially livvin' in a bubble under the sea. You understand wwhat I mean?

Well... Yeah I do. I just...

[Yeah there's no real excuse here.]

I'll work on it, alright?

Good. I'm sure you wwon't disappoint me.

[He eyes Eridan for a moment]

Do you dislike bein' under wwater?

No!

[He says that all too quickly, but he tries to cover it up.]

It isn't that--not exactly, alright?

[Eridan is just very... Materialistic and vain, Dualscar. Do you know how long he spends getting all spruced up in the morning? Dunking himself in water is quite counterproductive!]

Wwhat is it, then? [Dualscar scoots closer, and reaches out. He knows that touch isn't something he himself is used to, but Eridan has a matesprit, and so maybe he's less twitchy than Dualscar was at that age. So he grips Eridan's shoulder] You havve to be honest wwith me, Eridan.

[Eridan does flinch when Dualscar reaches out, and he probably wouldn't have even done that if not for the last time Dualscar's hand came towards him it met with his cheek and left him sprawled on the floor. But he lets Dualscar grip him and he doesn't pull away.]

It's really fuckin' petty, alright? Not ewen worth mentionin'. I'm fine to go underwater. It's just a slight, stupid discomfort is all.

Tell me wwhat it is.

[Dualscar has no intention of striking Eridan again, unless he deserves it. Which may not be much comfort.

He wants Eridan to be strong, to be a leader, but he's learning from Signless, too. He draws in a breath through his lungs, and gets honest.]

I knoww you don't fuckin' trust me. But knoww, also, that I wwant wwhat's best for you. I don't knoww wwhat it means to be someone's ancestor, but I figure wwe're sea dwwellers. You an I ought a wwork it out for ourselvves. It doesn't mean wwe havve to be wwhat the others are. Wwe'll showw them somethin' to envvy, if I havve anythin' to say about it. Does that sound good, to you?

I want to trust you.

[He basically blurts that out, his face slightly growing purple at it, his brows furrowing a bit as he continues to keep his eyes from him.]

But--that does sound good. I would like for us to work this out, like you said we ought to, I wouldn't ewen be agreein' to meet ya if I didn't. In fact, Fef doesn't ewen want me to meet up with ya, so if anythin' the fact I'm here should speak wolumes as to how much I agree with you about all a this.

[Maybe if they stay on this topic, he can just get Dualscar to forget about his pettiness over being in water.]

[He smiles faintly at that, and gives a squeeze to Eridan's shoulder before releasing him, but when Eridan mentions Feferi, the smile disappears]

The Heiress an I havven't gotten off on the right foot, but I'm hopin' to repair that, somehoww. Puttin' that aside, I'm glad you an I are on the same page.

Noww, tell me about wwater. You're a sea dwweller. Wwhy is it like this?
