"Did you have a good swim today?"
The dolphin threw his head back in a nod, "Brilliant!"
"Did any tourists see you?" Seychelles brought her fingertips across soft, slick skin, growing warm under the Sun's heat.
"Dozens!"
She chuckled, "Show off. If you spent more time feeding as you did making a spectacle of yourself, you wouldn't be so skinny."
Wiggling himself back into the ocean, he send a misty spray over the nation, squeaking in amusement, "Fishermen throw away stocks they don't sell in the evening! Less work for me! Fish! Fish! Fish everywhere!"
Wringing out her now soaking hair, she gave a playful push to the dolphin's tail fin that just splashed right on back, chuckling with arms up to protect herself, teasing, "Oh, go on, you silly fish!"
As he swam back into the waves, he called back, bright and loud, "Mammal! Mammal I'm no fish!" before disappearing into the sea.
