Yes. Maybe they'll listen to you in a way they don't to me. I think they like messing with me, to be honest. They have a sense of humor.
I wouldn't mind if they had a fish or two occasionally. I just need to eat, too. Maybe we could find a way to share - but then we'd be bombarded with them once word started spreading.
Thank you for the offer. I'm grateful to have a life to live, even if I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Life's a gift, you know. The most precious thing we have.
They'll like seeing you again, I'm sure. They're friendly, even if they're also fish thieves. It's hard to be angry at them.
We'll just have to see about that, won't we? I don't doubt that at all … but I have zero faith that they'll pay me any more mind than they do you. They are obstinate creatures and they do what they want, whether what they want to do is what you want them to do, too.
Hence the fish situation. And honestly, I don't think they would be very willing to compromise with you, Ben. You've got fish. They want fish. They're going to do whatever they can to get that fish.
You might need to try to learn how to farm a little.
Plenty of time to figure it out. And I'll be more than grateful to have the chance to help. And - to share it with you. More than I know how to say. Maybe you already know, though. Maybe you can feel it.
I look forward to seeing you all. But you, especially.
We'll have to see. For all I know, you'll get them to listen. I've tried most everything else. But they have a way of growing on you. I admit to being fond of them, even if they are eating my food. There's enough fish for all of us.
They do like people, though, and don't seem to care where they're from. They let me pat them.
Farming's a good idea. I've been thinking of making a garden here on the island. It would add a certain something to the atmosphere, I think. And I could use a hobby here.

You're welcome to help, if you wish.
And I look forward to seeing you again, Rey.
