Oh Liese, I want to believe, but--teef! And then I go is that a smile? Or a predatory grin? Brrr. Less trust in general than I thought I had.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know, I definitely had the same reaction right off the top. But they're all playful and headbutty and patting. I'm sure it's all just fine! Ahem.

I was just waiting for the cat to fall into the water, go all craxy flailing, and take out the dolphin's eye or something. But that video would be on a different site.

With the KCD thing I am trying to decide if I should apply the clue by four or let him stay clueless.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's worth noting that dolphins do play with other species without consuming them.
Sometimes they play with sea turtles which are not so keen on playing with the dolphins. Non-consensual play, as it were. Sometimes they fuck with sharks, because Hey, they're dolphins and they can fuck with sharks.
And of course many reported instances of wild dolphins playing with humans, and sometimes rescuing them.
I can't imagine kitten fur looks especially tasty to them.

In short, dolphins are like humans and crows in that they're too smart for their own good and really spend a huge amount of time making up their own games to stave off the boredom.

And otters. Man can they play. I wonder if otters and dolphins were in the same environment how they would interact...

wait, sea otters and dolphins do live in the same environment but don't seem to interact much, if my few minutes of internet searching is any indication. Why not? Seems like they'd make great playmates.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You mean like these crows?

Exactly: "Yeah, we're just fuckin' with ya."
