*Sal crouches down to see Mermie better*
Sal: "Is he dangerous?"
Jackson: "Well, he's not venomous, but he can impale you with that - uh - what's it cal- spike.."
Sal: "Dude, you need some sleep."
Jackson: "You think? I guess I could lay down.."
Sal: "Go home. Rest. I'll take care of Mermie."
Jackson: "Fine, but if the Ruckshaw lizard egg hatches, put him in the garden and get me."
*Sal pushes Jackson out of the door*
Sal: "I've got it."
*Sal crouches down to Mermie and pets him*
Mermie: "Wrawr!"
Sal: "I wove you, too, Mewmie."
*Sal looks up at a table next to the incubators and sees a bucket with a label on it that says "FISH"*
Sal: "I should get you some food, little guy."
*Sal grabs the bucket, but it is empty*
Sal: "Dang. He must have been planning to get the food later today.."
Mermie: "Mrawr?"
Sal: "Don't worry Mermie, you'll get food. Where's Jackson's egg book? I'll know what to feed you if I look in there."
*Sal sees Jackson's book on the desk and grabs it*
Sal: "Ice worm, ice worm.."
Mermie: "Mraw mrawr.."
Sal: "Small fish meat chunks and organic matter... I could grab some plants from the tiny garden.."
*Sal grabs a blade of grass from the common garden Ruckshaw lizard's small garden environment and sits down next to Mermie*
Sal: "Wanna eat this?"
Mermie: "Mrawr? Mrawr."
*Sal holds the blade of grass down to Mermie and he eats it*
Sal: "Good boy."
Mermie: "Rwar!"
