[Riley's appearance has changed since his last time here. Now he's got some fish scales around the edges of his hair and what looks like pretty mermaid ears. He smiles as he waves at the camera.]

So I know a lot of people have gotten changes here. From forming bonds with people. Some of the changes are really fun and interesting. But I had a question.

[He tilts his head to show off that he actually has gills on his neck behind his ear.]

Has anyone gotten changes that felt surprising? I wasn't expecting to get gills, for example.

[Looking back to the camera he gives another smile as he waves.]

Share your most surprising or weirdest changes with me! I can't wait to see what everyone's got!

{Those ears are soon kissed! One at a time and then Xie slips his arms around Riley's shoulders.}

Do you really want to see, Merman?

[hideawayparadise]

[He giggles a little as his new ears get kissed. He's not used to them yet so they're a little sensitive! But he quickly cuddles into him.]

I do! Did you get something fun I haven't seen yet?

[thescorpionking]

{So they should be kissed more. Obviously. Xie loves snuggling and he rubs a hand over Riley's chest.}

Maybe.

{He moves to stand in front of Riley, facing away from him. Then he lifts up his robe and reveals a thin black tail with a barbed tip.}

Don't touch the tip.

[hideawayparadise]

[Tilting his head, he wonders why Xie is lifting his robes but then he sees the scorpion tail and gasps. Chair? What chair? He's on the floor now to go and run his fingers along the tail.]

It's so beautiful! It's perfect for you!

[thescorpionking]

{The tail itself is soft and furry - all except for the tip. Xie shivers when he realizes where Riley has placed himself. Glancing over his shoulder, he smiles flirtatiously.}

You don't think it's a problem? I can do this...

{He curls the tail up - like a scorpion tail - but he can also flick it any direction he pleases.}

[hideawayparadise]

[This isn't really scorpion tail now that he's closer. Huh. What is it then? He trails his fingers along it and notes how it's almost like a lion.]

A problem?

[Then he watches that tail move and smiles so brightly.]

That's amazing! That's not a problem! I bet you could probably grab people with it. It's long enough for it.

[thescorpionking]

{Xie turns, then, unable to resist Riley's smile. Who could? Dipping down, he kisses him, his fingers caressing his jaw.}

What if I grab you with it?

[hideawayparadise]

[Leaning into the kiss, he gives a happy little hum. Right before he blinks. Should he have expected that to be turned around on him? Probably. Did he? Nope.]

Me? That would be a pretty sexy way of grabbing me...

[He's totally not going to deny that.]

[thescorpionking]

{His tail flicks behind him happily...dangerously. Xie nuzzles their lips together after the kiss and runs his fingers through Riley's pretty hair.}

Since you are courting me, I do want to have your undivided attention.

[outspokenlan]

Whoa! Those are really pretty, Riley! You have gills?

[Jingyi grins at him brightly but then looks thoughtful.]

Aren't all the changes surprising? Like I just found out my eyes change color when I'm around certain people. How weird is that?

[hideawayparadise]

Yeah! They're really fun.

[Then his eyes widen.]

Your eyes change colors around certain people? With who? And what colors?

[outspokenlan]

I know a couple people with scales, but I think they're from a dragon. I don't think dragons have gills.

[Were there fish dragons? Jingyi doesn't know!]

They turn blue when I'm around my boyfriend, Sizhui, and green around my Uncle Cheng. I don't know if it happens with anyone else. I can't see it! Sizhui had to tell me it was happening.

Who has been bonding with you?

[hideawayparadise]

Wow. Dragons are amazing...

[It would have been cool to be a dragon but he's happy being a fish!]

That's really fun though! I wonder if you can get the full rainbow of colors. And then went all the people are in the same room with you then you have rainbow eyes.

[Look, he thinks that would be super cool.]

Oh! Right! I haven't told you yet! I'm dating now!

[outspokenlan]

Wow! You think so?

[He must test this out and get his boyfriend and uncle in the same room! That would be cool!

Even more cool, boyfriend!]

You are? That's great! Who's the lucky boy? Do I have to have a talk with them about treating you right?

[hideawayparadise]

Yeah! Because if they turn those colors around them imagine if you have the people there at the same time. Your eyes would turn all those colors at the same time, right? It would be so pretty.

[He knows he'd love to see it. And then he bursts into giggles and holds up two fingers.]

Boys. Two.

[outspokenlan]

That would be! Do you think you'll get a bunch of different colored scales from all your friends here? I wonder what color I'd be!

[Is it wrong to just assume he'd be someone Riley is bound to get bonded with? Welp, he does anyway and in a very public setting!

He gasps and the camera gets all jumbled as he literally drops it and has to pick it off the floor again.]

WHAT?! Two? Riley! That's so.. two?!

[hideawayparadise]

Oh wow that would be so pretty. I'd be a pretty rainbow fish!

[Riley is already grabbing a mirror to picture it. He is so in love with this idea!

Right before bursting out laughing at how cute his friend is.]

Yeah! Two! Two boyfriends!

[50000baht]

Gills?

[He looks--well. Concerned? Stricken?]

You have gills now?

...Do they work?

[hideawayparadise]

Gills and scales around my hairline and these fun ears...

[He shrugs a bit.]

I haven't tested if they work yet though. It'd be fun if they did.

[Yes, he's really that chill about this.]

[50000baht]

[ There's laid back and then there's... 'laid back.' ]

Would you be this calm if an executioner was in front of you? I'd be freaking out.

[hideawayparadise]

Um...I don't know? I've never met one before.

[He's just saying?]

No one's ever tried to kill me before so I don't really have a basis for that.

[50000baht]

Well... it's not fun. I can't see how these furry traits are any better. Or even amusing!

[hideawayparadise]

Because I have a sense of humor and love of fun?

[He laughs a bit.]

Seriously, it's a lot of fun. And my boyfriends like them too.

[50000baht]

Well good for them.

[ Totally not sold on this place ]

Collecting boyfriends now, hmm? Not even a little bit of a lady's man?

[hideawayparadise]

I'm interested in everyone no matter what their gender is. But these two wanted me and I wanted them.

[He's very pansexual but two boys wanted him so two boys it'll be!]
