There's a Creature in the bar.

His face is buried in one of several books, the rest being strewn on the table around him.

Anyone who feels up to getting that face un-buried can feel free to interrupt.

Delphinus smiles back. "It's very nice to meet you, too, William Damon von Frankenstein."

It's a long name to Delphinus' ear. Cetaceans don't have surnames, after all.

At a loss for what to do next, he looks around a bit, then returns to his book.

Delphinus picks up one of the others. He copies Damon and opens a book, looking at the strange black markings inside for a little.

"...you said you could get information from these things? How's that done?"

"The marks inside stand for the sounds of speech. They make words; it is very much like being able to listen to a person speaking."

"Oh." He peers at the book. "Huh. I wonder why I didn't pick up that along with human language."

"I cannot say, friend Delphinus- I learned both at much the same time, for which I am eternally grateful now."

"So you had to learn it? How'd you learn?"

"I happened to be able to watch the lessons of another person. It seems one must be taught by a person who is able to read."

"Interesting." Delphinus closes the book as he sets it back down on the table. He's quiet for a few moments. "Well, was nice talking, William Damon von Frankenstein. I think I'm going to go find dinner now."

"I thank you for your willingness to speak with me, Delphinus, and I look forward to the time when we may enjoy the lake."

[OOP: Thanks for the RP!]

Delphinus smiles. "Yeah, playing in the lake will be fun. See you around."

And the not'human walks off.

[OOC: Back atcha. *thumbs up* ^_^]
