[She decides not to focus on that line of questioning anymore, and focus on the part about her tail again.]

Yes. It is... not pleasant. My mother could make it seem so pretty. [Oona smiles, albeit bitterly] She did not teach me how to do that. Said I would learn it better when I met my cousins, but that knowing basics before would be impressive. Make them like me.

So, it is painful. But I will endure. [of course she would, like anyone would expect any less from her??] But, will have to go back soon. Tail is drying out, and besides the water will not stay forever. Will have to go back to walking everywhere.

Are we sure we can not flood city again? For good? [Oona's only joking... mostly.]
