"Oh, gee thanks!" Said the small fish, bowing his… Um, head in gratitude. "I was afraid that they were going to… I don't even want to say it." Our hero nod his Err… Head, saying: "It was nothing. Why were they after you?" Johnny looks about nervously. Trying to see if anyone is listening. Then, he whispers in our hero's… Um, ear: "Lakka." Our hero cocks his head to the side. (I'll just say "head" from now on) "Who?" "Lakka." Johnny whispers again. Looking about nervously. "I'm sorry, but I can't hear you." Johnny Rolls his eyes. "Oh for the love of-LAKKA! LAKKA!! LAKKA!!!!!!!!!!" He shouts in our hero's ear. Our hero is blown away most comically. "No need to shout, I can hear you perfectly! Now who's Lakka?" Johnny gulps. "Who is Lakka? You must be from far away not to have heard of her. She's the evilest, cruelest mudcrab this side of the Black Marsh! Nobody hasn't heard of her!" Our hero nods. "I spent most of my life under a rock, so I don't know these things." He says. Shrugging. (If a Clam can shrug.) "Yeah, I was under my rock, thinking, when a Man came and lifted my rock! He was talking to someone I couldn't see. I bit him and swam away. He shouted something that started with an "F" and dove after me. Being a clam, I could find the best hiding spot. Under another rock. That's where I met the wise and beneficial MOTHER CLAM!!!! And she sent me on a quest to retrieve the legendary sword, MeatCakes." Our hero finishes, sheathing his sword (scrap). "Anyway, I better get going." Johnny swims about nervously. "Um… Mister clam? Can I ask you a favor? Can I come with you?" Our hero glances at Johnny. "Why do you want to? I can offer only danger." Johnny says: "Because you helped me out! I want to help you too!" "Go ahead." Says our hero. Swimming towards his eventual goal. Our hero and Johnny swim together for a while, when Johnny asks: "By the way, what's your name?" "My name?" Says our hero. "My name, is Urial Septim.
