canon is The Thirteenth Year

[syreni]

You know, I appreciate your taking interest in me, but if you're going to bring me to the surface, I'd at least like to see my family? Sam? Jess? You know, instead of this... whatever here is.

You know I just realized how much I missed out on. Learning to drive. Seeing rated R movies. And there's a black president now? I could've voted for him!

[fintabulous]

Wait... you've been in the human world? No joke?

[syreni]

Yeah, no joke. I grew up out there.

[fintabulous]

Ohmygosh! That must have been so exciting! What is it like up there?

[syreni]

It's pretty cool, I guess. Not as neat and exciting as life down here, but I guess it's what you're used to.

[fintabulous]

I guess other worlds are always thrilling for others, huh.

[syreni]

Guess so.

I'm Cody, by the way.

[fintabulous]

Cody? What a cute name! I'm Kayla, it's fintastic it meet you!

[syreni]

[Fin...tastic? Okay.] It shore is.

[fintabulous]

[ She can't help but laugh a little. He gets it. ]

I have to ask you something though.

[syreni]

Okay, shoot.

[fintabulous]

What was it like having those little toes? They're so strange and wiggly!

[syreni]

They're only wiggly if you wiggle them! Most of the time, you just forget they're there.

[fintabulous]

Whaat? How can you forget they're there? You got ten of them!

[syreni]

Yeah, and they're tiny and stuck in your shoes half the time.

[fintabulous]

...Shoes?

[syreni]

Things you wear to protect your feet. Clothes.

[fintabulous]

No way! They have things that go over the feet?

[syreni]

Yeah. It's so you don't step on something and hurt your foot.
