"I beg your pardon for all those traps," remarked the sea witch, passing a cup to Esther. "But I am often molested by such rude characters when they are uninvited. It's just a security measure, you understand?"

"Sure sure, I get it." Replied Melinda, casually sippig her tea.

"They certainly gave you all the swim-through though! I'm quite proud of the jellyfish room myself."

"The jellies were so fun!" Said Esther, happily enjoying her tea.

"I know right," Cylla squealed happily. "I love frolicking through that one in my spare time. Sometimes I even get caught and tickled!"

"So they were all illusions?" Asked Roland, unsure what to do about the tentacle rubbing his chest.

"Yes and no. The rooms exist, just not where you always expect them. Very high concept stuff I like not to think about."

"Fascinating," Roland muttered earnestly. 

Melinda then gave a hearty belch. 

"That is some good tea."

Silence came, followed by a very bemused face.

"WHAT AM I DOING???!!!!!" Melinda screamed at the top of her gills.
