[ Here's a Fish.

For those of you new to Fish, they're a very long, very slender androgynous merfolk with red hair and fins, lavender skin, and very bright blue eyes.
They're relaxing in a bathtub full of fizzing, opulent blue, violet, orange, and pink suds that seem to be sparkling in the video. Someone's been enjoying a bath bomb. And they've got a flute of what seems to be champagne, too. ]

A conversation with someone I met on the beach before the Firialia festivities put a question in my mind that's been lingering there for a bit...

If it isn't too personal, how do you feel about open relationships? Are you in one yourself?

I'm in one, and it's the best arrangement I feel for my lover and I with our personalities and lifestyles. So, I've been curious about how other people feel about this kind of thing.

[ They have a sip of their drink and crosses their legs in the water, exposing their knees above the psychedelic suds. ]

I've never done anything similar back home, really. When I was last in a relationship, it was actually the complete opposite. I felt like a... well... a fish in a bowl with how my partner then was so possessive of me.

The freedom Mollymauk gave me... the freedom we gave each other was strange at first. But I've grown to really love it. And it makes me love him even more.

'Cause it meant you could trust each other, right?

Isn't there some sayin' like that? "If you love something, set it free?"

Yes... that's right. That's exactly how it is. We did that for each other. And I think that just made our relationship even better.
