The labs. She guessed that would mean talking to Sabin and she wasnt about to do that.
'I not want to know too bad.' she said, giving a forced smile.
'I think you must swim very fast. I not see Cody come, you pop up like magic fish!' and she giggled before realising that even though he hadnt said much other then a positive answer, his body language said alot more.
'I sorry. It is just I have not seen someone young on Island yet.'
It must have been terrible for him. Not only changing into an animal, but taken away from his mother and father!

"Magic fish?!" Maybe it was a story or something. Magic was something only little kids believed it
Cody shook his head as saying it was not her fault. Or perhaps to shake those feelings off and show a brave face
"Actually... I never saw anyone of my age too!"
It wasn't really surprising, he came here to get medical treatment after all. But still it felt strange to think he was probably the only kid here. He was surrounded by adults. Yuck!

Sayuri nodded.
'I think I heard story of magic fish when I was lit-tle Maiko, but I do not remember it.' she frowned a little, lifting her feet from the Lake bed again and drifting deeper into the water. She swam a little way, her legs bending and straightening automatically as if she had swum her whole life. She turned, pushing the yukata skirts out of the way where they had floated up and twisted around to her front.
'But you have friend here?' she couldnt quite fathom how anyone could remove a little boy from his family, she had never had a choice in her life but he wasnt Japanese. Nor a Maiko. Did he have no family back where he came from?

"Pitty. I like stories"
He dived and swam along with her, watching curiously at the elegant way she moved in the water and the yukata flowing around her. Even though he had suffered more changes than Sayuri, his style of swimming was more straight foward
"Not really. I know quite a few other animal-people, but... it's not the same"
He really missed having other kids to play with. And as much as he liked some of the other islanders, it just wasn't the same type of friends. They were all too old..... maybe except Ambrose. They had a lot of fun playing tag the last time
I wonder how he is right now...

'Me to. I liked going to see Kabuki play when I was taken by patron.' she let out a sigh, the water rippling away as she did so. She ducked under the water, slowly opening her eyes, her gills working away to filter the oxygen from the liquid around her. She watched the way that Cody's tail moved through the water before breaking the surface again.
'I guess it not. It hard for me too. I do not speak as easy as others. And I get things confused or wrong alot.'

"Kabuki?"
She was definitly from another country, with so many strange words and the different accent. But that was really neat too. Meeting people from other parts of the world was always interesting, even outside of this stupid island
"I think you talk well. Not really well well, but well enough. I'm not having any problems understanding you"
He suddenly had an idea and did a complete horizontal flip before getting in an upright position
"Hey we could become friends. Then I could help you learn english and you could teach me some of your words!"
Though it wouldn't be the same type of friendship with kids of his age, he would have someone to talk to that would actually be a water dweller like himself. It was perfect

'It is story play. Men are play as women, and women play as men. It is Japanese play.'
Sayuri smiled at Cody's words.
'Sankyuu - thank you.' she said, remembering herself in time to add the proper english, even though they sounded so much alike it was difficult not to know the words.
She clapped at his aqua acrobatics;
'Hai,' she said nodding happily.
'I would like that very much.'
She splashed him, turning and flicking water in a mini-wave with her tail.

"Weird. But sounds fun. You're from Japan? That's really cool"
He was really feeling in a good mood now. The idea of having a friend underwater really cheered him up
He was feeling so hyper he had to show it. Cody dived and with a powerful kick of his tail he tried to propell himself out of the water. It wasn't such a high or beautiful jump as the dolphins, he would still have to practice before doing anything similar, but it was strong enough to get most of his upper body out of the water and create a considerable wave when he splashed back down

'It is?'
Sayuri didnt think of where she was born as being something that would be interesting to people. It was just where she came from of course. She looked into the depths when Cody suddenly dived down, and then kicked hurriedly back as he leapt from the water again in a sort of curving jump.
When he landed again he splashed Sayuri considerably!
'Hey!' she giggled, swishing water at him with her hands to splash him back.

"Yeah! Land of anime and all other cool stuff"
Cody paused for a moment to reply before starting to splash Sayuri back, laughing. His webbed hands pushed a lot more water than when he was a normal kid, so his splashes were quite big. But if he really wanted to soak her completely, he would have used his tail instead
He kept doing this play for some time, until his stomach started to hurt. He was getting hungry
"I nedd to get something to eat"

Sayuri looked quizzical at that word but was pleased that he seemed to think her birth place was a 'cool' one.
'...blurgle,' she said, coughing as she got a mouthful of water as Cody splashed her back. She ducked under the water, her hair floating around her as watched him move around in front of her and then she bobbed up, making a mini-wave as she did so, giggling again.
Sayuri nodded at his words, floating a little, drifting.
'I need rest, not do much swimming but I think I will like it.' she smiled at the dolphin-boy.

Cody waved at Sayuri as he left. He would had liked to give her his duplex number in case she wanted to stop by for a visit, but to tell the truth he didn't had a clue where he was living. He hadn't had the guts to get himself on his wheelchair and check the front door
