It's like the cleaner wrasse. A small fish that makes a living by cleaning parasites off of larger fish. In exchange, the larger fish don't try to eat the cleaner wrasse. They can even go right into its mouth to clean out the bits of food that get stuck between the teeth.

Typical symbiotic relationship.

The stories she could tell. If she could talk. If she was capable of complex thought. If she felt like it.

Water man. Cool water. Sides. Bottom. Top. Water. Bright up, dark down. Sides. Fin movement. Gotta pee.

Don’t think she’d say much. She’s coy.
