I don’t think you were snippy. I said something concerning in a very off handed way and you worried for me.

[doublefried]

I was a little snippy...

[tothosewhobait]

Perhaps a tiny bit, but it was from a good place.

[doublefried]

[ squishes cheeks together ]

I do worry a little.

[tothosewhobait]

[Is squished]

Ah? Well....I do also have the twins and Noah. That's a support group of sorts, isn't it? If it got really bad...I suppose I could ask for a leave to return to the sea?

[doublefried]

And I'm here if you need me, too. Sorry, it's not that I think you're particularly vulnerable or something. Heroes just worry about stuff.

[tothosewhobait]

I know you are. Your letters help... Afterall, I have those, even if I can't see you as much as I'd like to right now.

[doublefried]

Sooner or later you're going to be able to see me all the time.

[tothosewhobait]

I know, isn’t that wonderful?

[doublefried]

Just full-time bird! Live-in bird!

[tothosewhobait]

Eternal sleepover club!

[doublefried]

Feather duvet every night of the week!

[tothosewhobait]

I'm ready for the warmest and softest sleep ever. Legs are so weird....did you know how cold toes get?

[doublefried]

I did know. Fingers and toes are really vulnerable to getting cold! That's why I wear gloves when working.

[tothosewhobait]

Mm, I imagine going that fast it must get very cold. I wear gloves more often than not... My hands don't get cold though really.

[doublefried]

Wind chill is a huge problem at high altitudes... that's why my hero costume also has a fur-lined coat. Well, at ground level I'm warm enough.

[tothosewhobait]

[Pulls himself out of the tank, arms coiling and twining and slowly forming legs]

I never go fast or high enough for it to be a problem.

[doublefried]

The ocean is the opposite, right? It gets colder the lower you go.

[tothosewhobait]

Mm, got it in one. Some mers are better equipped for exploring deeper than others. It was a good way to escape bullies when I was younger. They'd get too cold and turn around.

[doublefried]

It's kinda funny that going up or going down has the same result, if you think about it.

[tothosewhobait]

The pressure gets more intense the lower you go.

[Reaches down to smooth excess water off is legs once they've formed]

A lot of merfolk gather as low as they can comfortable go. Old habits die hard.

[doublefried]

[ just draped over the edge because HE can't turn it off at will ]

It makes sense to hang out where it's comfortable...

[tothosewhobait]

As deep as comfortable. Way back when, land dwellers thought eating our tails would make them immortal.

[doublefried]

Oh, I've seen that pop up in like old old stories. Seemed super grisly.

[tothosewhobait]

Some mers are still convinced on it, but I've been on land for some time now and the only ones that have tried to eat me are the twins.
