"Irasshaimase!" a goby fish behind the counter greets as he sees the customer enter. A cleaner shrimp standing nearby gasps at the sight of them, seeing the cold stare of a sea snake sticking their head through the door.
"Did you get the stuff?" the sea snake asks.
"It's time. Bring it here," the goby instructs, and the shrimp walks off to get it.
"I see you cleared out the other customers," the snake comments as she glances around the restaurant.
"That's right. This place is all yours," he nods, gesturing around with his fins.
The cleaner shrimp returns, nervously looking up at the much larger snake.
"It's okay. I won't bite."
The two then shift their gaze to the goby.
"Go on."
The cleaner shrimp places the dish -- a sea shell filled with a pile of fish eggs -- before the snake before moving aside.
"This is what I've been waiting for." She brings her head down to the eggs and then starts eating.
"So... that's...?" the cleaner shrimp looks over to the goby.
"Yeah. Our shy VIP who only eats fish eggs," he explains with a smile.
