[It's always nice to meet another sensible surfacer. The sentiment is mutual, and Arthur just chuckles slightly.] I know the feeling. There are humans who aren't so bad, but I can't say I've ever met a dolphin I didn't like.

Why does the ice keep you out of work? [A genuinely curious question. Selling ice doesn't even occur to him because nobody does that in Atlantis. Plus, modern world, and why would he ever need to buy ice.]

I can't say I've heard of any Oakens around here, I think you're alright.

[speaksreindeer]

That's because they're not human. I've met three that are good people. The rest? [An exasperated shake of his head.] No. You're lucky if you've met good ones in with the liars and cheats.

[Arms crossed; momentarily huffy about people, sry2say. Kristoff clears that after a moment and looks mournfully at the snow.]

I harvest ice for a living. No one buys it when there's ice everywhere.

[He kicks a piece of ice on the ground for effect.]

[Arthur just snorts.] I wish it was just liars and cheats. Ocean pollution is at an all-time high. I try not to generalize and lump them all in together, but sometimes it can be... frustrating.

[But he winces slightly in sympathy when he says he sells ice for a living. That certainly would be a damper on one's livelihood.] Normally Asti sails through warmer waters than these. You might have more luck then. If you're taking up business again, I fish and sell to a few local restaurants, I can usually use ice.

[Arthur, you just became his hero. Or backer. Solitary patron of his ice business? You validated him, that's what it is, and Kristoff will remember that.]

Taking it up? You bet I will. That's pretty much what I know how to do. [Said with a shrug of his shoulders, a roll of his eyes.] Sven and I've been doing it forever.

[Speaking of: Back to the humans-suck issue.]

Frustrating? [A choked laugh and a shake of his head.] There's nothing you can do about the bad eggs. They're everywhere. That's why I avoid the lot of them.

[The animals are better than people club has to stick together, bro. Maybe Arthur really doesn't need to buy ice but he will anyway if it helps a guy out, he's got the money for it anyway.]

Nothing wrong with sticking with what you know. If I can help, just let me know.

[A soft snort.] There's plenty. I've put a bunch in jail. Scared the piss out of others. Dropped one on a deserted island by himself. But no, I guess in the end, they never really stop coming.
