“Makes sense to me but… I dunno maybe selkie’s are really rare to begin with, maybe their need to change is not a set schedule thing.” Vesper shrugged and crawled over to Hanna getting all extra touchy. “Dunno, no one told me shit about this… Now give me hugs I’m all internally awkward feeling.”

She was always a physical person, but now she really wanted it to ground her head back into being human. She would have preferred skin to skin contact, but was pretty sure that would have been crossing too many lines so she just demanded hugs.

((IDEK and then she goes home?))

The demand for hugs honestly took Hanna by surprise, but he indulged Vesper, anyway. He figured she deserved a hug - lots, even - for showing him something close to no one must have ever seen. Plus, he kind of needed hugs, too. Watching and hearing her body transform like that had shaken him more than he had originally thought. 

He lightly ground his knuckles against her scalp in a mock noogie, smiling.

“Dork.”

[And then they had hugs and stuff or something and then she went home? IDEFK. 8D]

She took the water but waved off the aspirin, it was a different sort of ache that drugs wouldn’t touch, besides her tolerance was high, she could probably take the bottle and feel nothing.

Her pants were on and her shirt was on inside out but she obviously didn’t care at the moment. Hanna’s final statement got him a bit of a glare before she went a little thoughtful.

“Might… Might be just me… Like… Putting on someone else’s shoes… They might kinda fit but never quite right cus it’s not like they’re yours?” She frowned. “Does that make sense?” Vesper couldn’t really tell at the moment.

“But then this could explain why selkie’s are only mythically know for being kidnapped and placed into forced marriages and shit… If for 20 minutes after changing they’re useless.”

Vesper’s comparison between putting on her mother’s skin and wearing someone else’s shoes made a little bit of sense to Hanna. Then again, it would probably make more if he’d ever actually worn someone else’s shoes. What with being an only child and after his parents died…well, he didn’t really have a need for shoes in the home for troubled youth he’d been shipped to. It was more a mental facility, but she didn’t need to know that. Nobody did. Those were some of the worst, loneliest years of his life.

He nodded thoughtfully.

“I guess it makes sense. Never really worn anybody else’s shoes before, though,” he shrugged, wiggling his bare toes. He was silent for a minute or two, eyebrows furrowed as the thought a think. “Wait. Wouldn’t it make more sense for, like, two Selkies to go together? I mean, one acts as a watchseal while the other transforms, then the other keeps a lookout while the second transforms? Or maybe that’s a stupid idea. I don’t know. Made sense in my head.”

She gave him a thumbs up, still facedown.

“Gawwd…. S’like beeing hungovver on everythiinnn.” Vesper bemoaned to the carpet, her words muffled by the floor and her inability to fully function her own face. “Woorst superpower everr”

Hanna’s hand on her back felt a bit like salt on a wound, but it was okay, the human touched helped focus her back into her own mind. Finally able to push herself up she didn’t care what Hanna saw when she did, she never had a problem with being naked and at the moment it didn’t even occur to her that it was inappropriate, but still she started getting dressed, her face deep in concentration and fingers dumb and clumsy.

“Oh… fuck… No wonder Selkie’s are the retards of the magical kingdom…” She griped struggling with clothing. “Wwwhat are pants I caan’t even right noww…”

“Need help?” Hanna asked from where he still kneeled by her side, focusing on her face instead of, well, the fact that she was basically sitting bare-ass naked in his apartment. “Or some water or something? Good for hangovers.”

Without waiting for an answer, Cross rose, limped into the kitchen and fetched a glass, filled it with water, then shuffled around in the cupboard over the fridge for a bottle of aspirin. He came back to the still-struggling half-Selkie and put the glass and asprin down within easy reach of her, sitting on his mattress. 

“And I don’t think it’s all Selkies,” he joked with a ‘please don’t kill me as I’m trying to be funny’ sort of smile. “It might just be you.”

shark-girl:

“Hrggghhhr…” Was her reply once she had a human mouth to give it. Finished transforming she was laying face down on the carpet, the pelt laying on top of her, now nothing more then a sheet of skin, her lets and arms sticking out from underneath it.

Last time she’d done this she’d had a week and a half between transformations, this time, maybe an hour and a half. At least she knew she had better control, although she kind of felt like she’d just been flayed. Her skin felt raw and itchy and her brain kind of dull and muddled. Like now the seal part of her was still somewhat there and just totally fucking confused and it was making her human side just really stupid feeling.

“Nngaahh hur?” She tried again at words her head turning now to look at Hanna one arm waving to grab at his leg. Giving up she just pointed at the bathroom. “Aants?”

“Pants…” Hanna murmured, turning towards the bathroom. “Right. I’ll get you your clothes.” 

He limped quickly to the bathroom, scooped her clothes up in his arms and hobbled to the splayed-out woman. Kneeling by her, he lay a gentle hand on her back. It shook slightly and he swallowed hard, nervous of how she’d react to his touching her. Especially considering the muddled mental state she seemed to be in. 

“I’m here,” he said comfortingly, “and I have your clothes. Don’t worry about it, okay?”

Except I did know most were that stupid.

Are you sure? I was positive I was close to the cure! Science has failed me again!

If Science ever comes up with a cure, I’m signing all of you up for it the moment it’s released.

Oh, Worth. You charmer.

shark-girl:

Granted, as a seal she couldn’t entirely understand him, feelings, general idea’s, body language she could read so all she got was that he was amused and curious about something.

Barking some more she kept shuffling around the small apartment until she’d explored all of it and then barked louder a little bit distressed at being in such a small, water free area. Other then the fish she couldn’t smell the ocean at all, and from the window came the stench of more humans and no other seals. She began to get quite agitated, after all in seal form she was 70% wild animal with the rest being somewhat higher intelligence and her human personality.

Her barks got a bit panic sounding and she started growling again, she made her way by the window, the only means of escape she could see or smell and made a bit of a high pitched noise before laying on her stomach and shuddering.

A loud bone popping noise came from her, ripping of skin and all kinds of painful sounds bubbled from her form as she began changing back, the frenzy of irrational fear awoke her human side allowing Vesper to gain control and make herself change back.

Granted, not enough control to think about going to the bathroom first, it might have been kind of a gross show, but not many could say they’ve ever got to see a selkie, half or otherwise, take off their skin.

Hanna sprung up from where he had been sitting as soon as the first disturbing noises of the change back to human came from Vesper. He paused - mostly from uncertainty regarding what he should do during her shift, partially from a strange mix between horror and fascination as her body twisted from seal to humanoid - several feet short of her, looking on in worry. He was equally torn between feeling like a scientist observing a groundbreaking phenomenon and wanting to do something to help. The sounds coming from her made his chest tighten. Seeing her naked didn’t bother him, either. He just wanted to make sure she was okay.

“…Ves?”
