[[Gretchen had pinned down Oktavia in a gripping hug, rubbing her own soft rosy cheek against Oktavia's scaly cheek] "Oh Oktavia! I was so worried about you! " "I know. I am sorry." "Are you all right?" "I am fine! I, Gretchen, you are gripping too tightly, I can not breath," "Oh, sorry!" [Gretchen let go of her hug, but still holding Oktavia's hands] [Oktavia chuckled] "I am fine. I am used to this form by now. Well, as it turns out, that family legend about my ancestor may be true. I have mermaid blood, and I suppose I have come of age." [she sighed in frustration and lay back into the pond] "It is still a lot to take in. and this transformation happened at such inoppurtunate time! It is such a big change in my life!" [She whimpered fretfully. Gretchen patted her hands] "Oh Okty. I t will be all right!"
