I am glad as well. [Her tone is softer, betraying her own emotions on the matter. Despite her playful attitude and cheer, it hits her deep in the core. She has her tail back, her identity feels whole again.
But on the other hand, it leaves her hanging at a crossroads. Her life had been consumed with the idea of getting her scale back. Revenge, restitution... And now? What did she have? It was strange to think herself aimless now. She had had no grand plans following getting her scale back. She'd assumed she would either die in the process, or die sometime afterwards, giving herself up to seafoam. Now she didn't have quite that desire to throw herself into waves or into a mindless slaughter, and she wasn't sure where to go from there.
Probably, she thinks, it's better to not think on it at all.
So she doesn't. She moves to the edge of the water and pushes herself up onto land, sliding herself up so she can lay her tail out. Her tail almost seems to sparkle in the light, and she looks down on it with open pride.]
Can touch, if you like. You can not harm me. [By which she means there's nothing he can really do to damage her scales unless he suddenly sprouts claws or something.]
