Well, this is boring.
The most I can figure out is that Hilda and Barnacles are talking to each other about the possibility of a collaboration, and that the Octopod was recently expanded with some extra rooms for guests and that the crew could take them, since the Soaring Wolf has probably sunk by now. Or something like that.
I tap Midnight on the shoulder. The rat turns, and says, "Hm?"
"I'll be exploring the reef if anyone needs me," I say.
"I'll come with you," the black rodent grins, and the penguin she was talking to adds, "Me, too! I'd love to see what creatures live here!" We start swimming down towards the multi-coloured reef down below. I notice that Andy's watching us leave - good. Don't want a repeat of when he thought I was lost because I saw a rare creature and went to investigate.
Aaa-nywaaaay, we're now at the reef. The coral is pretty - so many colours.
"Hey!" I yelp.
A brightly-coloured fish bumps into me. I turn around, and he moves back. A parrotfish!
"Rrrawwwk! Sorry! Gotta get away!" he screeches.
"What's wrong, Pete?!" the penguin asks in a panicked voice. So, the parrotfish is called Pete? I didn't know underwater creatures had land creatures' names.
"Squraww! There's a DRAGON, me hearties!" Pete squawks, swimming away as fast as he can. I wonder if the cat knows him?
All of a sudden, I feel cold. Really cold. The penguin seems fine - I guess he's used to it - but Midnight's shivering. I actually see the water in the distance turning into ice. And, inside it...
"FLAPPITY FLIPPERS!!!" the penguin medic screams, and swims away. Midnight and I follow him, as quick as we can.

After some discussion, the three decided NOT to tell the others - what they would make of it, they didn't know.
