Flugo leaned in close to the entrees being offered. He had in mind that he had tasted green algae enough before. It had a strong funny taste, he knew, not really so bad, but it was not so good that he wouldn't rather just eat the shellfish. But he never had that white substance before. He didn't know what it would be like. But he was here to find out about what Bewina offered. He reached to it, and tasted it.
"Oh my wow!" he uttered.
"Isn't that something?" Bewina responded. "There isn't anything better you ever had, right?"
"You're right! This is amazing!"
"Now use some of the green bits, placing them on the next white portion," she instructed.
Flugo did so, and then he ate that together. "This really is amazing!" he expressed. And he meant it. The green algae itself was not so impressive to him. But combined with this exotically wonderful white substance they complemented it beautifully.
It was a very enjoyable meal. They finished soon, and Bewina said to Flugo, "There are other items with further ways to make such tasty meals. I would like showing you what I found we can have. Won't you please still come here again, Flugo?"
Flugo was intrigued. But Bewina was so different, with her ways, and Singela was still so much on his mind. "I am unfortunately pretty busy, both with my daughters and with studies for my courses to teach," he just said, "I will try to see if I can come soon again, I will let you know then."
"I will talk to Yahweh, asking for the help for what you need to manage opportunity to come here again soon," Bewina said.
"When you say you speak to Yahweh, are you hearing him?" Flugo asked, remembering again the history at the beginning. Who has been heard to hear from Yahweh since the very beginning?
"I do not hear Yahweh in the same way that I speak to him. I only speak in the most respectful way, for this is how we should speak to Yahweh. And I see answers to what I ask, soon."
"So you really think Yahweh is around to hear you?"
"In the beginning, Yahweh had promised that when we call on Yahweh to ask him things in our need, he will hear and answer. Yahweh is worthy of trust in what he said. It would still be true!"
"Alright, I am not saying you are wrong. I would have to try it myself, I haven't done that before."
"Please do, Flugo. I want you to see yourself how Yahweh answers."
After further discussion between the two overdolphins, with Flugo finding out more about what Bewina did, Flugo at last departed, saying it was the first time he left his daughters to watch their home shallows a long time on their own, the things Bewina said stayed in his mind, as did that meal she had prepared. It was so interesting, and a desirable meal. Could he find those floating spheres she had said had the white interior, which he had tasted? They were near to the extension from the floor bottom to above the surface of their waters, she had said. So he swam in that direction instead.
He came to it at length, and swam around carefully to find if any were floating there, and watching out for monsterwhales, for this was near the wild areas. But he found no such things, and he decided to hurry back to his home shallows.
As Flugo came to his home shallows, he was concerned either or more likely both of his daughters would ask about who he was seeing. He swam into that space, and greeted both of them. They each returned the greeting, showing joy at seeing him again, but neither asked him questions.
They ate the servings of the shellfish they had for the meal later that evening. Freenila and Suey both wanted to tell him about the overdolphins they were friends with, and some they had seen swimming nearby, but they dutifully stayed here to watch over the home shallows. Flugo listened half attentively while nibbling at the shellfish he had in front of him. He thought again of the meal that Bewina had prepared and shared with him. To his surprise, he even was thinking what it would be like staying with her. Well, that white stuff was really something. It would probably be great with this shellfish, he thought. He should still look for the floating spheres that he had been told had that again. He then remembered that Bewina had said there were other various things besides that, which he hadn't known he was missing. Indeed it might be interesting.
Flugo thought still about what more he was missing, and if he could still find the spheres, when his daughters had finished telling them those things that interested them, and had swam off to rest. And at the start of the next day, Flugo decided that he would leave earlier, that before he would go to the place he taught his young students, he would explore around that projection reaching over the waters again. As he neared it when he did go, he noticed a couple of monsterwhales swimming around further in the distance. He turned quickly around, and swam back.
After the courses he taught for that day, Flugo had wanted to go to the research center again for further preparation. But now he thought to himself that Bewina would know it was a place she could meet him, and she used to place herself for looking around at the displays. And now he remembered he had agreed with her that he could call on Yahweh. So as he swam nearer to his home shallows, he called out, "O Yahweh, show me please if it is better for me to return to see Bewina!"
He came to the home shallows, and saw just Suey was there. "Where is Freenila?" he asked.
"She went out with a bag woven with the tough stringy algae, to collect seaweed to bring here," Suey told him.
"Well, we haven't had any such for awhile," Flugo observed. "She knows not to go near the wild areas, right? Good. I should still go to the enclosed reef area to acquire more desirable shellfish, I might do that now."
Flugo organised a bit, and then carrying with him another set of pearls woven together, he swam out on the way to to get selected shellfish.
He was almost there, and saw then Bewina swimming out from there, with a large bag. She saw him then. She set the bag down, and said to him, "Flugo! I am glad I spotted you again. I really want to ask you to come to my place right away. Besides what tasty treats I can show you, there are some things I really need to discuss with you."
"I am surprised to see you here, Bewina. Are you actually getting shellfish?"
"Certainly not! This is also a place where I can acquire the fronds I can use to decorate my place. Why not come with me right now? It won't be long, and you can come right back to acquire what you want right afterward."
Flugo did not entirely understand why he went along with Bewina then. They were soon at her home ridge. They entered the area, and Bewina set the bag down, and Flugo set the set of pearls with him down, and Bewina said, "Flugo, we should talk more about how you can speak to Yahweh."
Flugo showed assent, and Bewina went on. "Yahweh is completely good, and knowing all things. We aren't, and our kind has not lived right since Yahweh has not spoken among us since the choice to kill shellfish contrary to what Yahweh wanted for us. We are to the shellfish what monsterwhales are to us."
"Do you think monsterwhales will not be a threat to us if we no longer use shellfish, then?"
"If we do what Yahweh wants from us in that way, Yahweh is able to change things that we are never threatened, and Yahweh would do that some time, and Yahweh honors our change to doing what he wants from us. To speak with Yahweh we should understand these things. We have been out of relationship with Yahweh. We need to approach Yahweh to speak with him understanding it is desirable to us to have relationship with Yahweh, it has to start again with us. We don't have to yell to him, Yahweh knows all, so he knows what you have to say to him when it is just in your thoughts. You should not want to just give requests like you are ordering things, with nothing else to say. To come to Yahweh should be like you are sharing your life with Yahweh. You will really see the answers from Yahweh this way."
"Wow, this is really answering what I said to Yahweh already, and I see I need to learn. Bewina, you know things you could teach me, and I need to learn from you. I wish I had seen this before!"
"Certainly, Flugo! There are things I will still learn from you, because you can certainly teach, and you know things you can teach me. We can each show things to each other, and learn from each other. I would want to do that, a lot. Would you?"
"I would want to very much, now," Flugo told her.
