[Momo laughs good-naturedly at that.] So are adults, though? I'm not letting my cute juniors go off getting into trouble if I can help it.
[Unfortunately, he can't always help it, but he can do his damned best to make sure they avoid it. That's half of the use of being in the position he's in back home - being able to steer dangers away from those coming after him.
But they have other things to worry about for now, and while Momo had been looking at a small shoal a fair way further ahead initially, movement on the ground catches in his peripheral vision at about the same time Sora points it out. Twisting his body sharply in the water to change direction - lacking the full counterbalance of a tail that a typical merperson would have - he follows down towards the hermit crab, offering a wave.]
Hi there! I like your boot. [Apparently Momo's solution to figuring out if they can talk to sea creatures is...just immediately talking to the first one they find and seeing if they answer. Granted, immediately talking to people is generally how he operates anyway.]
