"You know, I gave it to him initially," she said with a laugh, quietly appreciative of the support, considering this damned fish was totally getting the last laugh. "He said it kept trying to bite him. All I get is a scream when someone's at the door...or when it spots the damn hamster. I've had to position it so it' not withing line of sight to the cage. Oh--got it!"

Dead fish mission a success.

...except that right when she was lifting it out, one of the larger eels swooped in and ate the damned thing. Shepard froze, glowering at it. Really?

"I give up. I don't get to the fish, they die. I get to the fish, they die. And then I try to clean them up...and they get eaten."
