( He waves his fin in a gesture that could easily be interpreted as hurry up and take the photo until Ratio mentions it's not a glamour shot. There's a distinct huff of annoyance as Aventurine rights himself -- who wouldn't want to take a photo of him? He knows he's beautiful by any standards -- well, seal standards, he supposes. But he knows his human form is as beautiful. It's what his former pod was known and killed for, after all.
Dwelling on that won't do right now, however. So instead he smacks his tail against the dock in response to both the flattery -- he is fascinating, thank you -- and to simply rile the man up. He thinks he almost understands him? Well, that's true enough, Aventurine supposes. Sometimes he doesn't quite get all of what the doctor says when he really gets going. But he's nice to listen to, and that's good enough for him.
So he gestures for the good doctor to continue explaining his work -- though this time he does scoot along the dock to follow him. In case there was any question about him understanding him. )
