"I have not seen nearly as much
as I thought I would since I have ended up in JSOC and, now, Special Operations, but I definitely have gotten to see quite a bit more than if I had stayed on my homeworld. It really is beautiful, but I have to admit that I find living in underwater communities less than exciting. Do you know much about my homeworld?" he asked. </fontfamily></excerpt> She shook her head, her black hair swinging gently against her face. "Very little, I'm afraid. Tell me about it." She leaned forward slightly to show her interest. "What is it like to live underwater? The architecture must be spectacular. You could do so much more." She imagined impossible spires, and delicate buildings that would have collapsed the moment the supports were removed on dry land. "It is ... different," he responded to her first question. "My people have a dual respiratory system that allows us to breath like must humanoids, but we also have the ability to breath through our gills." To emphasized the fact, he leaned back his head and pulled back the flap that covered one of the gills in his neck. (response, if any)
"As for our architecture, it is largely built out of natural coral. Engineers long ago learned how to encourage coral growth in a manner that allowed my people to 'train' the coral to a desired form. I think the closest thing that comes to mind would be the spires of castles I have heard about in many of Earth's old style fairy tales. In recent years, many of our cities that are below the ocean have started to build domes so more people from other worlds can visit easily."

"We also have some smaller cities on some of the larger islands that are spotted across the planet." (response)
