"We've been meeting on your terms too much," Sabine announced.

Kel blinked, worried. "I'm sorry," she said, her eyes flicking to Alanna in confusion and back to Sabine. "I…I haven't meant to offend you in any way."

"Offend me?" Sabine laughed. "Of course not." She floated on her back and flicked the end of her tail up to send a small wave of water splashing over Kel. "It's just time for a change, that's all."

A change didn't sound too bad, and Alanna seemed unconcerned…but Kel was still confused.

Alanna grinned at her. "We want you to come for a swim."
