Oh. [Judging by the way those two particular kelp fronds droop a little, Nagisa acknowledges that this isn't going to be something he can do. Not in the time he has as a kelpie, there's no way he can become a good enough swimmer by then.]

[Darn. He would have liked to see it...]

[He follows Reira inside, thankful once again for the natural state of her house. Though that doesn't stop him from going completely stock-still once he finds somewhere to stand. He doesn't want to knock anything over...]

[He grimaces a little at the word "normal form" though. Yup, he was right. This is definitely not supposed to be the "default" kelpie form.]

So when you first turned into a kelpie...you were more like a faun then a centaur? You didn't have to learn how to take on a bipedal form? [He had hoped that maybe, just maybe this was actually normal. That kelpies were "born" more horse-like at first and the only reason he usually saw bipedal kelpies was because they'd been monsters for a while.]

[That would be kind of a long shot though, huh...]
