" hi. can you talk, or is it all mrrs. i can do your sounds but i don't really know what they mean so i don't wanna say them if they're rude. do you like sweets or just meats. i can get you some if you want. are you from a lab. i'm from a lab. i don't think I've ever seen a land shark, only shark sharks. unless you're like a mud puppy or something. do you like mud, can you swim. you don't have fins aside from the one on your head, does that effect your swimming at all. are you going to get bigger, or is this your final size. this is my final size. everyone's just kinda too big if you ask me. do your teeth regrow like normal sharks. "

"....Mrrf greh mrrggeh!"

Well that... was a lot of questions for one little land shark. The first was a bit offensive; Jeff was talking! Plenty of people understood Jeff: Gwen, Kate, that weird not-raccoon with the tree man, the tree man- squirrel lady- it just took time! That weird fish guy though, Jeff wishes he didn't understand him so he could call him mean things.

Of course, that all went away with the offer of food. Jeff supposed that would suffice as an apology from his new friend.

Well this might take a second. Jeff thinks: if Taro can't understand how he talks, then he was going to need a visual aid. He waddles off to find a stack of papers, several pencils and crayons, and stick them in his small suitcase. Why did he have that? Not important.

"Mrrrarrh mrawr rrah drrrah." He says matter of factly.

He writes down his name, and points to it. "Mrre! Mrrref!"

Then he writes down Taro's name, and points to it as well. "Drruh!"

Jeff could give Taro land shark lessons later. Apparently it was backstory time. Jeff leaves again, and the sound of metal scraping on the floor can be heard as he pushes a trash can over. He sits next to it, points at it and points to an open, toothy grin.

"Mrre drrrr drrd! Nyumee nyumee!" Basically if it was food, Jeff would eat it. He should tell Taro how he got all that money for ice cream one time.

As for lab, well that was back to the pencils and crayons. Jeff let out a low and unhappy growl while he went to drawing a rather armored marshmallow with a terrible grin. Jeff gestures to that, then draws a small version of a pointy blue dot with feet on another sheet of paper.

They point and pick up the first drawing and shake it around in their teeth angrily before spitting it out. "Mrrref drd drr mrrrddech!" Well, that was as well as they could say MODOK. They then make a big explosion gesture and fall over backwards in dramatic fashion, before going back to drawing a few more figures: one in pink and another in purple. "Gweh! Krrrr!" Referencing Gwen and Kate, who he didn't know the location of at this time. He hugs the image to send the point across that they were his friends.

"Mmmmd mdd!" Jeff nods emphatically about the mud. Gwen and Kate didn't like it as much but Jeff loved playing in mud.

Swimming though! Yes Jeff stood back up and tapped his little shark paws on the floor. He jumps as if he's going to dive into the water and goes right into the ground.

Literally, there's just his dorsal fin sticking out, as if the physical matter itself was now suddenly water. Jeff swims around, up the walls and even on the ceiling to show off to Taro. He then pops back out, looking very proud of himself.

As for size, well Jeff did get bigger that one time, and it was very scary. As far as he knows? He doesn't think so. He points at himself and shakes his head no. He was still very Jeff shaped.

"Mrref mrref."

Now about that food...
