[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!

[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.

[hideawayparadise]

[Others probably would find the waying of that tail to be scary. But Riley knows he's safe with Xie. That tail won't hurt him.]

Well you have it right now. My attention is all yours.

[And not just because he loves the kisses and pets he's getting. That's a bonus.]

[thescorpionking]

{Riley is in no danger. Xie has control of his tail and that barbed tip will never so much as brush against him or Baiyi.}

We need to get you into the water.

{He runs his fingers over the gills.}

I wonder if you can breathe underwater?

[hideawayparadise]

[He shivers a little at having those fingers against his gills. Especially since it means the fingers touch his ears too given how close they are.]

I haven't tried yet. Though maybe? It wonder if I'll end up swimming better when I get more changes.

[thescorpionking]

{He notices those shivers and purposefully strokes his thumb over one of Riley's ears. What? They're cute!}

Probably. We do have a bathing pool, you know. Would you like to take a swim?

[hideawayparadise]

[Watch him lean into that touch. That feels soooooo good.]

There's a bathing pool? So it's big enough to fit you too?

[thescorpionking]

{He chuckles throatily and holds out his hand.}

It's big enough to fit three. Want to see it?

[hideawayparadise]

Yeah.

[He smiles brightly and takes that hand so that way Xie can take him there.]

I'll get to see your tail even better this way.

[He has priorities.]

[thescorpionking]

So that is your reason for agreeing! {Xie teases as he tugs Riley to the bathing room. He walks to the small pool-sized tub and begins to fill it.}

I'm not sure what I'm turning into.

[hideawayparadise]

It's one of the reasons!

[Riley gasps when he sees the bathing room, walking around the giant tub. He's so amazed by the size of it.]

I don't know... Maybe a manticore? They've got lion tails with scorpion stingers.

[thescorpionking]

A manti...core? {He has never heard of such a creature! Slipping out of his outer-robes, he drapes them over a chair.}

Are they handsome?

[hideawayparadise]

It depends on how they're drawn. In their full depiction they have the face of a man, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion. Sometimes they even have wings and horns. I've always thought they were really amazing.

[Pulling off his clothes is easy and fast. It leaves him right down to nothing and hopping up to sit on the edge of the tub while he waits for it to fill.]

And if you really are becoming one then you're guaranteed to be handsome just because it's you.

[thescorpionking]

{The answer pleases his pride and Xie grins to himself. Seeing Riley strip so quickly pleases him further and his eyes widen. His under-robe, trousers and boots are soon removed and then he stands before his favorite Fae clothed in nothing but the ties and ornaments in his hair.}

I'm guessing you are partially to blame for it. {His tail slips around Riley's leg as he comes closer.} Will you help me grow wings?

[hideawayparadise]

[Xie is seriously so gorgeous. He can't stop staring at him as he sees him in all his naked glory. Once he was close enough to touch, he slipped his arms around him, smiling up at him since he was now even shorter while he was sat down.]

I'd love to. You'd look so amazing with wings...

[thescorpionking]

{Each time he makes a request...even if it sounds silly to him...Riley agrees. What's more, he follows through on what he promises. Xie wraps him in his arms and nuzzles his cheek against Riley's hair.}

And if your legs become a tail, we'll be creative.

[hideawayparadise]

[That makes him laugh and he swings his free leg against Xie's, not wanting to move the wrapped up one.]

Then I'll be a real merman. You guys might have to carry me everywhere!

[thescorpionking]

{He catches that lovely leg and slides a hand over Riley's thigh and down his calf.}

That wouldn't be terrible. You nearly had to carry me everywhere for awhile.

[hideawayparadise]

I'm not that strong but I would have for you.

[He turns his head to kiss his chest then moves his arms up to wrap around Xie's neck.]

Are you going to carry me into the bath today too?

[thescorpionking]

I know. {And that is all that matters. Riley has the sweetest thoughts and desires for him!} Carrying you is no issue.

{Xie proves his strength by slipping his arms under Riley and lifting him. The tub is almost full.}

We'll get in together.

[hideawayparadise]

[Riley knows he doesn't weigh that much but he still gasps when Xie lifts him up. He's getting so much stronger and that makes him happy. Smiling brightly, he cups his face to kiss him.]

Carry me wherever you want then. I'm yours.
