I'd picked up a book, ignoring the dirty fish tank, but the addition of a new voice does catch my attention. "Oh, sure." I look over at Liz, just a little surprised when there's no one there. "Where did..." My eyes widen when I realize that there's actually someone in the fish tank and they're not... They're not normal at all. It's some kind of creature.
"Hello." It speaks again, turning slightly in the tank. "You must be Gabriel, I heard you'd be coming in. I'm Abe Sapien, no need to be alarmed." It sounds more like it... he is in a tea party than floating in some tank, he's polite and gentle and I can't find my own voice.
"I..." Manners kick in, no matter how worried the sight of him might make me. "Pleased... pleased to meet you."
