It was true; Ulrich didn't enjoy coming out of the sea very much and would often only do so when he was tempted by something. Of course, he did it a whole lot fucking less after he found out who he'd slept with the night Luca was conceived. Unfortunately, it would become a regular thing in the foreseeable future.

"However amusing that may be, I don't think it would be viable." He couldn't help but crack a small smile, though. Ah yes, perhaps he would ask that one guard who grabbed him off the ship if he'd be willing to do so. He knew he likely wouldn't say no even if he truly didn't want to.

"I will likely be given an allowance for your food and groceries until I can find a chef." He'd yet to hire one, and he hadn't really thought about it because he was perfectly content with taking a dive into the ocean for his own. He'd almost entirely forgotten that Nicolas needed other food. "What do you like to eat?"

French, perhaps. Decidedly not seafood, and he'd be surprised if he did.

He actually had no particular aversion to seafood. After all, Ulrich's monstrous form, which had haunted his dreams so, looked very little like any particular sea creature. It was certainly recognizable as being of the sea, but it wasn't a fish, or an octopus, or anything else he'd ever been able to name.

"I eat whatever. I'm not picky. I've been living off military food for the past few years." He paused, coming to the abrupt realization that 'military food' wouldn't likely mean anything to Ulrich. "Military food more or less sucks universally. They try and fancy it up and make it a meal, but in the end you're eating something reheated out of a bag." Which was not good.

He pushed himself upright, straightening up and giving a quick stretch. "I'm going back to my room for a power nap. I'll be up in... fuck, a few hours maybe? I have no idea what time it is. Then I'll go into town, and whatever." Come back with food, probably. Ulrich would have to get used to eating human meals.

Huh, this 'military food' didn't sound so amazing. How did humans stand to eat food that hadn't been wriggling just a few moments before? To him, even the very idea of prepackaged, frozen food was revolting and not something he wanted to get anywhere near his mouth. Perhaps that was why Panthalassians lived thousands of years and humans only lived eighty.

Either way, Ulrich gave a little nod before pausing. "Give me a moment." He got up and went over to his bedside drawer, digging out what looked like a small black box and handing it to Nicolas. "Something you humans call a 'cellphone'. In case I must contact you." He knew how to use it, but was yet to become familiar with the various features. Whatever, he knew how to call and text and that was the important part.

Otherwise, he let Nicolas leave to do as he wished. Ulrich didn't feel like wandering far from the sea at the moment, still quite unsure of how he was supposed to... proceed? This wasn't about pushing forward, but about blending in. He didn't like that, but for Luca's sake he would for the time being.
