"Uh... what did you say?" Timothy followed along, feeling genuinely confused.
"You aren't telling us something about yourself, something important. How did you just turn into a different stingray?" The old man weighed in that grand and head-scratching fact.
He wasn't trying to put pressure against the sea-pancake, but just wanted the truth. That and he felt genuine concern; the little menace had not been the same, ever since he came out of that unique cavern.
The entire group grew even more concerned, once they noticed that the hero was absent-minded even towards such a heavy conversation.
It was as if a large boulder was weighing over most of his conscience, that forced the stingray to give up on normal functions: such as holding a conversation.
That was why the only thing he could answer, was. "Huh... I changed my species?"
The fact that he was utterly unaware of such tremendous shifts of forms, had managed to push the group towards stronger worry!
