[With a soft nicker of frustration, Nagisa's eyes open once more. Wait what? Did that noise seriously just come out of him?]

[He's just...going to hope Reira didn't hear that. Or at least won't comment on it. He clears his throat.]

I mean...it's just a temporary spell so I supposed it's possible I'm an "incomplete" kelpie, so to speak. I followed her instructions perfectly though, so it can't be anything I did. [He stifles a yawn.] I'm going to go back home and get some sleep. Maybe I just need more practice with a well-rested mind. Either way, it's not the end of the world...as long as I can breathe underwater, that's all that matters.

[If he's stuck with an inconvenient horse butt the whole time, so be it. Totally worth it to make Jataro happy.]

Thanks, Reira-chan. Sorry again for waking you up, but you and Ron are the only two kelpies I know.
