"Hallucinogens." Eric repeated thoughtfully, trying out the new word. He would have to do some internet research to understand it fully, even though Ivarr had given him the context. "Yes, is like that. Makes you see all sorts of things, which is fun, because seeing down in the dark is not a thing that really happens." They saw their own glows, the glows of other predators, but not much else. Having their minds opened was a valuable thing.
"Yes, is like herd for you." Eric said with a smile. "Or pod for dolphins." He added, bringing it back to something he knew better. He sipped at his drink again, smiling over at Ivarr when the bigger man bumped him back, glad that he had made a friend. "No, I not make you mad or sad." He told him, shaking his head. "Water creatures have to stick together in this dry world, yes? Have to look out for each other and share ways to stay happy. Are you happy here, Ivarr?" He asked curiously, canting his head to the side.
