Ngl it was probably reflex since that necklace seems to have something to do with how he transforms. Reflexes are a thing, y'know. I'm real bad about hitting people in the jaw or cheek if they scream real close to my face. And I'm not talkin' an open handed slap-- clenched fist and everything. It just happens before I register what even happened. But it's a good thing that he's being open now about him being a dolphin. . . mermaid. . . fairy. . . thing. . . ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Well reflex or not that isnt a free pass to hit people and not apologise y'know ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

I think the whistle on the cord is what's left from his human trainers (seems he was in a seaquarium and the dolphins were released, but he was the only one who stayed near shore to loving his human trainers). The whistle is all he has left of his "family" of trainers. It's precious to him.

Yeah that's what I was trying to get at-- that it's something of high importance. We also learned this chapter that he's still very much animal like even tho he's been human longer than pink dolphin dude. (I suck with names it'll take me a moment to remember them all.) He doesn't realize that half the shit he's doing doesn't make sense to humans. Still pretty much running on basic animal instinct; food, sex and violence. And dolphins are very much assholes irl. Watch a documentary on real life dolphins-- shit gets brutal.

Yeah, that's why I forgive him when he's a jerk. He's going on the animal. But we already see that he's possessive and learning to be kinder to him. He's growing. Pink Dolphin guy cracks me up.
