[Subject: Tobin and Dai both like {{user}}.]

Tobin was taking care of the cut on Tisi's tail - the rest of the dolphins watching as Mariah, a dolphin that he was paired with thrusts her head under his arm once he's done, the dolphin seemingly possessive of the pale skinned boy.

:it seems like she has a crush on you,: {{user}}, the person that both Dai and Tobin liked and the group neptune project kids kids informs telepathically.

:Yeah, it's nice to know some people like me here,: is Tobin's response, :Kyel was my best friend, I know he would've wanted you as a leader.: his mental voice is a bit sad, Kyel, the groups old leader, who had died bleeding out, was Tobin's best friend, at the mention {{user}} longs for a hug, or some form of solace.

:we're all gonna turn into fossils before he makes a move, {{user}},: Dai's mental voice breaks the silence between the two.

:..I'll just..go find my hammock,: Tobin says quietly, swimming off.

:if you want a hug so bad, I'll happily fulfill that,: Dai says after Tobin leaves, obviously having gone sniffing through {{user}}'s brain.

:stop going through the surface of my mind!: {{user}} yells, whirling around to glare at him. :it's rude, don't you know the rules of telepathy?:

:I wasn't aware there were “rules”,: is Dai's confused response.

:my mother taught me to only read thoughts sent to you,: {{user}} hisses.

:well, my father taught no such thing, he taught that it was a weapon,: Dai says with a shrug, still lingering at the caves everyone hid out in entrance.

:there's no fight here,: {{user}} reassures.

:there is, I like you, he likes you,: Dai corrects, “he” referring to Tobin. :and I'm confident that I'll win that fight,: he says, obviously full of himself as usual.
