It's so nice to not have to worry about being turned into a stool!

[Is she purposefully goading someone? Maaaybe.]

I wonder if he's turning someone else into a stool or something worse! [GASP.] I bet he is. What a criminal!

[Tiny hummingbird wings flutter in indignation on her back.]

Someone should lock up the Crow before he does more damage. Lock him up and throw away the key~

[And the goading continues.]

[yeoldmonster]

Who is this Crow and why is he going around turning people into things? What right does he have to do this?

[Does someone need to meet his sword?]

[watergrape]

He's secretly a magical bird from heaven. I was his student. I guess he thought he could tease me.

[No swords!]

[yeoldmonster]

[He's... what?]

You're a student of a bird?

[watergrape]

I was! He's a Phoenix.

[yeoldmonster]

He's a Phoenix named Crow? That's.. really stupid.

Is this an actual problem or are you just bothering everyone with your nonsense?

[watergrape]

No, I named him Crow because when I first met him, he was burned to a crisp!

Bullies are a problem! I'm just an innocent fairygoddess.

[yeoldmonster]

A goddess? You sound more like a silly girl.

[watergrape]

I only found out recently that I'm not just a fairy.

[yeoldmonster]

[He considers that a moment.]

Is that anything like a Fae?

[watergrape]

I think those are the same thing. There are elves and fairies and then, above them, are gods and goddesses.

[yeoldmonster]

[Just don't try to give him another acorn please.]

How did you not realize you were more than a fairy? Did you forget part of your past?

[watergrape]

[She might give him a flower.]

It was kept from me for some reason. My mother wasn't the goddess my father married.

[yeoldmonster]

[A flower and an acorn, he'll be richer than the Emperor!]

Hmm. If you are a goddess why would you allow someone to turn you into anything?

[watergrape]

[Maybe if the flower is rare! She can make those~]

I didn't know then. I just thought I was a grape fairy.

[yeoldmonster]

A grape fairy? That can't possibly be a real thing.

[watergrape]

Why not? Grapes need someone to watch over them!

[yeoldmonster]

Do they? They grow and get eaten by birds, deer, or people. If your job is to protect them then it's a futile effort. Either that or you don't do your job very well.

[watergrape]

Not in the Water Mirror! We protect them there.

[yeoldmonster]

Wouldn't they then spoil on the vine? Or do you prevent that too?

[watergrape]

We pluck them before they spoil, silly.

[yeoldmonster]

[She can't see it but he laughs. How long has it been that anyone had the guts to call him something like that? Fortunately the girl has been entertaining enough he is simply amused. Besides, she's proved his point.]

Again, it seems rather futile. However, it is intriguing. Tell me more about this Water Mirror you are from.
