"So is she turning human?" Haruka asked.
"Well, er, no. Technically it's impossible to be truly human," Jonas answered.
"We'll have to wait to see what she becomes," Markaw added. Michiru looked up at him.
"What I become?"
"Yes. We don't know what species you will evolve into. Obviously this change is made because you were banned from your temple and because you're no longer in native waters," Jonas told her.
"So I could become an Ice Temple member?"
"Or any of the species," Haruka told her, holding her in a tighter embrace. Michiru rested her head on the blonde's shoulder and looked up at her.
Her tail's scales were slowly fading and allowed her to crawl, something most mermaids couldn't do. Her fin was beginning to fall off bit by bit, becoming shorter by the mere hour.
Jonas glanced up at the clock and called Rosemary in. "Rosemary, can you please bring in an extra pillow and blanket for Haruka's bed?"
The servant bowed her head, smiled, and was gone down the hall of the small house. "A blanket and pillow?" Haruka looked at him questionably.
"Well, Michiru certainly can't sleep in Markaw's or my bed. She'll have to stay with you."
"Is this some sort of unspoken rule?!"
"Yes. You can stay and make sure she's okay through the night. Just in case something happens."
Markaw got up and left the living room where the group was sitting. "G'night all." They all nodded at him.
"Why can't she stay in the tub?" Haruka questioned.
"Because it no longer feels natural," Michiru answered, looking at the blonde again.
"Natural?"
"It feels as though I don't belong there. Plus it's too cold. It won't personalize its temperature for me anymore."
"Fine. It's settled. She'll stay with you tonight," Jonas said, grinning slightly. He rose just as Rosemary came in to help Michiru to Haruka's room. "Good night, everyone. Have fun, Haruka," he joked, and laughed when the blonde stuck her tongue out at him and scowled.
That night, with Michiru cuddled so close to her, Haruka had trouble sleeping. Her wings ached horribly for some reason. Whenever she tried to move to get more comfortable, the smaller woman in her arms moved, too, and held her closer.
This forced Haruka to remember things. She recalled falling and being saved by this woman. During the battle, she remembered the clank of metal armor and swords as well as fierce whinnies of war horses. Their golden hooves had a rhythmic, steady beat as they galloped, carrying armor clad warriors. .
Even as her mind wandered over the pounding sound and left it, the sound still stuck. Haruka's eyes widened and she sat up, waking Michiru. The battle was coming.
