[hydrokinetics]

[He'd talk about Annabeth, but now we're onto this subject and he just kind of...stares.]

Whose idea was it to give out lobsters as a reward? I could try to ask them but are we sure lobsters actually dream?

[inheritance]

[Shrug!!] Whoever's in charge of the quest rewards?

[But more importantly--] So, if I take you to the lobsters, you can ask them? [He has his priorities straight here.]

[hydrokinetics]

Stupid. [But he seems a little amused anyway, probably because Izuku's excited and he thinks the idea of talking to lobsters is funny.] We can give it a shot and see what happens.

[inheritance]

[Izuku actually cheers a little, raising his hands up in the air. Just let him have this, Percy.]

Okay! We have them in a little enclosure by the docks.

[hydrokinetics]

[Well. If it'll make him happy, it's good enough for him.]

Lead the way. I've got time.

[inheritance]

[And off they go! Izuku leads him over to the docks before showing him the area where the lobsters are kept. He points out the one with a ribbon tied to its tail.]

That one's Detroit. Maybe you can try talking to her.]

[Don't ask.]

[hydrokinetics]

[He's going to follow and like. No, he's gonna ask.]

Why Detroit?

[inheritance]

[Because Izuku has no shame, he just beams and answers without any hesitation.]

Because "Detroit Smash" is one of my favorite hero's special moves.

[He's a nerd and he's not afraid to show it.]

[hydrokinetics]

...[What the.] Of course. Why didn't I think of that?

[Part of him thinks that Izuku and Nico di Angelo would maybe get along in that regard. As it is though he just settles down to crouch near Detroit.] Okay. Let's see what Detroit has to say. Sometimes they aren't always up for talking. We're just asking about dreams?

[inheritance]

[The sarcasm goes right over Izuku's head as he nods happily.]

Yup, just the dreams. Something like... does he dream about mermaids or sea sheep? Or something else altogether?

[I'm so sorry, Percy.]

[hydrokinetics]

Do we have sea sheep around here? [Is there a reason he's asking? Maybe.]

Okay, Detroit...I'm going to ask you a couple of questions about your dreams. Weird as that sounds. [The lobster, predictably, says nothing, but Percy nods along anyway as if it's the most fascinating thing in the world.]

[inheritance]

I think it's something Shouto came up with.

[Izuku quickly falls silent once Percy starts talking to the lobster, though. He scoots closer, looking curious.] What did he say?

[hydrokinetics]

[There's another solemn look.]

Detroit has been dreaming about the rivalry he has with a king crab that escaped into the ocean. He's usually dreaming about ways of getting back at the crab and becoming the superior shellfish of the sea.

[inheritance]

[Izuku's eyes get wider and wider as Percy explains.]

No way! So Detroit doesn't dream about sea sheep, but about defeating his rival... [Clenching his fist!!] If that's the case, then I'll be rooting for him!

[hydrokinetics]

He'll need all of the support he can get. According to Detroit, the crabs fight dirty and make it hard to fight them since they hide everywhere. He has to spend every waking and sleeping moment strategizing. [A pause, and he "listens" to the lobster.] He appreciates it though.

[Maybe someday Percy will tell Izuku he's making shit up, but today is not that day.]
