[ The rest of her words slowly penetrate and he looks up, blinking hard. ]

Don' try an' eat 'em, they give a nasty zap bein' touched wid yer hand an' prolly wid yer mouth.

[ "Also they're poisonous," a mermaid supplies helpfully from the side as she checks a jellyfish over. Beat nods. ] Yeah that too.
