Letting Bygones Be Bygones

"Well it wasn't the most comfortable night I've ever spent but - as you well know - we Aqualarians are pretty tough."

"We'll need to find you somewhere to sleep in future, though. You mustn't spend another night out in the open, even though storms are rare here and it's never cold. I'm afraid that if you shared Fred and my cave you'd rather cramp our style, and I don't suppose you'd want to share with Velus, even if he was willing."

"Oh, he's willing all right," Velus said in his still slightly barking voice. He was looking at Alura appreciatively. Although not quite in Astra's league for beauty, she was still very pretty.

1. "If he was willing to bathe regularly to reduce his body odour then I'd be willing."
2. "I don't want to share with him. Are there only the two caves? Or couldn't Fred build a wooden shack for me?"
3. The discussion was interrupted when they spotted a ship that had appeared on the horizon. Rescue? Or pirates?
