Go ahead. Take your walk, says Great White Teacher. Don't mind me.
It's an unbreakable habit, says Kant. A walk, every day, at half past three.
Even if it's raining? asks Faith.
My man follows me with an umbrella, says Kant.
Ha ha, laughs Terence.
What's so funny? asks Kant.
He's got the umbrella, says Terence. That means you haven't.
Not at all, says Kant. If it starts raining he hands me the umbrella.
Then he gets wet, says Great White Teacher.
But he can go home, says Kant. And I can keep walking.
Off you go then, says Faith. We'll hold the fort here.
I'll keep an eye on the tide, says Kant.
If only I could do that, says Great White Teacher.
It's coming in quite fast, says Gaius.
Whoosh, so it is.
Great White Teacher is in shallow water, momentarily.
The shallow water withdraws. Shweerp.....bubble bubble.
What's that bubble bubble? asks Great White Teacher.
Algal froth, says Gaius.
Horrible stuff, says Great White Teacher. Can't you clear it away?
We expect it to disperse now the weather has turned colder, says Gaius.
Yes we do, says Faith. I work for SARDI.
SARDI? says Great White Teacher.
It means she's a sardine, says Terence.
I know a sardine when I see one, says Great White Teacher. Now what was I saying before this fellow decided to go for a walk?
About 'Sharks Are Friendly' not working, says Faith.
Yes! says Great White Teacher. I was complaining.
With good reason, says Faith. No one thinks sharks are friendly. But we do think you have a right to be who you are.
So, a different photo? says Great White Teacher. One where I'm taking a bite out of someone's leg?
About to take a bite, says Faith. Just for the photo.
Worth thinking about, says Great White Teacher. Where is Sweezus?
He and Arthur went up to ask at the kiosk for a spade, says Gaius.
I'll walk up to meet them, says Kant.
It might be wise to let them know of this dangerous development.
