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.]

If the pond is big enough, you won't have to worry about cats. The fish will be too big for them.

[watergrape]

The cats will be intimidated? I would like to see that!

[dragonrising]

Koi can become much larger than cats when given the room to grow. Very intimidating.

[watergrape]

Can you pet them? I wonder if they like belly rubs?

[dragonrising]

If you gain their trust then I don't see why not. Even shy fish can desire affection.

[watergrape]

[She is gleeful over this information!] I'll feed them and make sure their water is perfect.

[dragonrising]

[Her heart is truly so big and full of love. She really was always suited to his brother and he realizes that now.] That will surely gain their trust.

[watergrape]

[Runyu has the ability to love too; he just lost his way and she hadn't helped him. But Jin Mi is coming to certain realizations early and that means she will hurt the brothers less.]

They will trust you immediately! I'm jealous. Grapes aren't as fun.

[dragonrising]

But you aren't a grape.

[No, she's a beautiful flower. A perfect combination of her father and mother.]

[watergrape]

I forget about that. I guess my friends are flowers.

[Frosty flowers?]

[dragonrising]

Your friends are whoever you want them to be. It's not limited to just what you are.

[Because the one dragon he's known back in their world? He never wishes to have had a friendship with that one.]

[watergrape]

Like Fish Fairy! [She is a flower that floated down to meet him while he napped.] I'm lucky. If I had stayed in the Water Mirror, I would have never known you.

[dragonrising]

[There are days he wonders if it would have been better if he never met her but he knows that's his own issue.] You would have still met my brother though and that is a blessing.

[watergrape]

[Hopefully she can help him feel less pain over time. Friendships are precious too.]

I know I said I saved him, but that was probably just luck...

I had no idea what I was doing.

[dragonrising]

Yet you did save him. Luck or not you saved Xufeng's life.

[watergrape]

He was pretty nice to me even after I dunked him in the foot bath.

[dragonrising]

Xufeng has always had a very big heart. He tries to pretend otherwise but he is truly kind at his core.

[watergrape]

He wouldn't have helped me if he was mean. I know I can depend on the Heavenly brothers.

[dragonrising]

Yes. You can depend on us.

[Even if he's let her down so badly so many times. He knows she would be better off not having him around but he can't stop himself from wanting to be there for her. It doesn't matter now that she can never be his, he still cares too much.]

[watergrape]

You can depend on me too. I'm going to be very powerful one day.

[This is her plan. Does she have the details worked out? Of course not.]

[dragonrising]

[She would certainly grow in power one day. He knows that to be true. But he also knows that with circumstances as they are that her strength will be in how clever she is and her powerful will. Perhaps here will be different but he has no way of knowing for sure.

So, he just gives her a gentle smile and lightly teases her.]

You'd best practice hard then.

[watergrape]

I will! You'll be shocked! [She eats several more pieces of meat, wiggling as she considers how. Yes. How?] I want you to take some of the herbs I made recently. Just in case.

[dragonrising]

Just in case? Of what? [He does appreciate the care she's showing him by offering though.]

[watergrape]

You get sick or this place makes you blind too. [She will rush to help him, but her herbs and mushrooms will be the first line of defense.]

[dragonrising]

So you are worried about me. That is very kind of you, Mi'er.
