World-Jumper stared into the pool of water. "My god, you're beautiful," he whispered.

The occupant of the pool looked up at him with dark eyes.

World-Jumper turned to the side dramatically. "No, I can't! To touch you would tear my skin, and then -"

The occupant of the pool contrived to look interested while being completely unaware of what was being said.

World-Jumper sighed. "But - you're so amazing. Your electroreception, your elegant curves, your teeth that get replaced every few months... And everyone's so against you, you've gotten such a bad reputation without reason - I can't conceal my feelings any more!" At that, he performed an elegant swan dive into the shark tank at the local aquarium. "There is no way this can go wrong!" he said triumphantly as he tread water. "I regret nothing!"
