Speaking exercise

Blister asked impolitely “why did you do this?”. Why don’t you give me this instead of her?” whined Blaze. “No way!” grumbled Tamaren. “Why?” questioned Burn. Blister jumped back and snapped “You startled me!!” quite angrily, and she stormed off to pace back and forth in her room while grumbling “I’m going to kill her if I get the chance”. Blaze yawned and said “I wanna go to sleep” and then she too swam away. Burn snorted and said “hmph! Now they’re all gone…”. “So what should we do now?” asked Tamaren.”HEY! Come on you sneaky rattlesnake-pot! Come out you guys, I know you’re hiding” shouted Orri “that’s a level of stealth that I think you’re not just trying to keep quiet!” Blister hissed. Blaze stepped out, shifted slightly and grumbled “What do you think you’re doing?? Sulking??” “Isn’t there one more of you?” Blister said, narrowing her eyes into slits. “umm, ye..es…? stammered a little greenish blue fish with white flecks. “I knew you liked me!” Burn bounded out of the door “But I never thought you’d like me that much!” she grinned smuggly. Blister grumbled “I shouldn’t have said that..” almost to herself. Blaze giggled and said quite playfully “seems like you guys are having fun! By the way, if you don’t mind can you let me sneak out and spy on someone? I’m bored out of my mind, and this dark place is going to shred me to pieces if I don’t get out and see sunlight again as soon as possible”. Tamaren yawned and stalked back to her room without anyone noticing. Orri snapped “Tamaren will definitely agree with this idea about us leaving here.” Finally Orri noticed Tamaren had snuck off and said “What in the sea is Tamaren up to?”. “How would I know?” Blaze challenged. “I’m not a mind reader!… I think I know a mind reader” Blister warned “but try to keep your minds blank”. Orri yawned and said “I’m sleepy now…”. Suddenly Tamaren came out and said “Where in the sea is that sneaky tabelfish??”. “Eek! You startled me!” Blister snapped again.
