[Dualscar does take a drink, congratulating himself a little. This conversation is going so well, compared to the barely-civil conversations they had before the ball. He must be doing something right.]

I wwouldn't wwant to force you to givve privvate details of a romance that's not really relevvant to anything at the moment. But it pleases me that you do havve a bit a swwimmin experience. I don't knoww much a the capabilities of these aliens who'vve vvolunteered, and I need a few trusted trolls in key positions.

If you're not sure a your swwimmin prowwess bein' up to the task, I could givve you a few pointers sometime?
