Are you and Mr. Briney still in touch?

“ The last time I talked ta’ ‘im it was after Peeko got held up. ”

      By an idiot subordinate, he wanted to add but refrained; lest he started and boil over in anger again. 

     Nonetheless, that phone call was one of worry. As much as his uncle liked to muse on and on about still being at ‘peak shape and physique,’ he was still running around at an fragile age. The last thing he’d like on his conscious was being an indirect reason to a family members death.

     Yet the conversation was barely about what had happened.

     His voice chirped at the sudden call, happily greeting his Nephew and reassuring him that things were all right. For a while they bantered on and on about meaningless topics, stories and news that was ( for Archie ) not really news. Regardless, it was sweet game of catching up that all too quickly ended with the Aqua Leader’s attention being dragged away. 

     If memory served him correctly, the last thing the old man said to him was advice. Dating advice— but advice.

“ I’ve been busy otherwise… ”

Pretty sure that Sharks sleep. I mean, sure, could be wrong, but 'm pretty sure I ain't. 'm a ~shark biologist~ after all. And a whale biologist. And a Water biologist. Very scientific.

     Curious. This individual shared a striking resemblance to himself save for a few cosmetic alterations. Disregarding that, the sense of familiarity kept nipping his subconscious with complete disregard with his current knowledge. 

“ Ya’ have to be specific in terms of species. Most sharks need ta’ move in order to breath. Unlike most sea creatures, a large handful o’ sharks cannot simply ‘inhale’ or blow water into their gills; there genetic make-up will not allow for it. In order to have water enter their system, so they could filter the oxygen, they must be in a state of constant motion. 

However like I said, this is not for all sharks. Certain species, like the Nurse Shark, have evolved to which they may remain in a single place and still manage to breath. Allowin’ fer some increments o’ rest to be achieved. ”

     He mused, leaning back against Davy to lightly pat the monster’s snout.

“ Davy doesn’t sleep ya’ see. Though, he does ‘rest’ by lightly gliding along somewhat strong currents. And just to make your life easier with yer’ title there... why not just go by Marine Biologist with specific focuses. Less of a mouthful than that pile o’ words.”

Archie Have you thought about running a YouTube channel? Might be easier to keep anonymous online

“ I personally never really put much thought into it. Though I think Gabby brought it up once. Hoenn TV is more of a local broadcastin’ operation though I s’pose I could let Ty handle the social media stuff like that. He’s been really into Myspace and all that coding mambo-jambo, so it’d be somethin’ he’d enjoy. ”

Have you ever brought any Aqua members into the Hoenn TV headquarters?

“ There are members of Team Aqua that work within the facilities. But like everyone else, they have to apply and go through the same procedures to either gain access to the building or have clearance. Just because you’re a member of the cause does not mean I’ll allow exclusivity of certain things. Especially if it’ll risk exposing my identity. ”

“ In the same vein, there is a particular way of contacting me that doesn’t leave a paper trail. ”
