After successfully ending a poor MelonShork's life, you drop the bat you were holding as it landed next to the now deceased shark gootraxian.

It's time for a break.

You venture to the main area, which usually had a few gootraxians around, but today was unusally quiet. The only other gootraxian in the room, was a lone Slimehound, as it stared down at the ground, looking quite bored.

Maybe some small-talk would do you both some good?
