Haruki didn't even notice the cheep cheeps chewing on him- no matter how many came. Such predatory fish were a dime a dozen on Valky, which led the fish-eating Valkians to develop thick skin. And the Valkians were no slouches in endurance- there were wild animals on their homeworld which could survive re-entry. It didn't really matter anyway- in less than ten seconds, Haruki had swam the entirety of the fifty feet and was walking onto the opposite shore, fish nibbling uselessly at him.
