[Technology changed. Dentistry, orthodontics, treatment to keep teeth white no matter how badly treated they were or were not. If one was crooked, for the right price, anyone could pay to have that changed. Not that Will was ever well-off enough as a child to have to deal with the teasing that came from the earlier sets of braces, but had he had bad teeth, had he gotten older...he could have easily changed that.
With money.
So it goes.
He's not sure what to make of them as gifts. At all. Is there significance to it other than Will liking fish so he'd appreciate them, is he the easy dump spot, is it meant as more?
Relatively out of nowhere, followed by him carefully putting that tooth back on the pile and the magnifying glass down on the counter. He leans against it further, adjusting his watch before he interlaces his fingers and looks past her. Past that shake of the head, not at it. Unfocused but present, not uncommon.]
Have you ever seen a starfish? They can regenerate. Grow lost arms, some can do more than that. [Depending on species and all.] They're pretty interesting. Regrowing things, with or without scarring, it's not really so unusual out there.
[A nudge of his head indicates a direction that leads to water. He cannot relate in the way that he can grow things back, has his own scars that can never heal, will never grow another tooth if he loses an adult one. But there's one place he knows where that's not the case. Of course he runs the risk that she might find it in some way an insult, compared to the creatures of the sea, but coming from someone who spends more time with dogs and nature than people if he can...it's not meant as an insult at all.]
